Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray
  • Bread:
  • 1½ cups shredded part skim mozzarella (6 oz)
  • 1 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1½ cups blanched finely ground almond flour (6 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (gluten free if needed)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Toppings:
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt






Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom of a square 8-inch baking dish with olive oil. Line it with a parchment square, and spray the parchment paper.
  2. Place the mozzarella in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Top with the cream cheese cubes. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave for 40 more seconds.
  3. Stir again, and add the almond flour, the baking powder, and the egg. Stir with a rubber spatula, then knead with your hands. Work quickly, kneading the dough well before it cools, and making sure it’s completely uniform.
  4. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. This is easier to do with lightly oiled hands. With your fingertips, make dimples in the dough, as shown in the video.
  5. Scatter the rosemary leaves on top of the bread, gently pressing them into the dough, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Liberally spray with olive oil.
  6. Bake the bread until puffed and golden brown, 15-17 minutes.

Cowboy Cookies | #Oatmealdropcookiesnobake #Loadedoatmealcookies #Chocolatedropcookiesmadewithcocoa #Chocolateoatmealdropcookies #Bakingwithkids #Chocolatedropcookiesnobake #Classicsugarcookierecipe #Bestsugarcookierecipe #Dessertrecipes #Cookiedesserts #Cakecookies #Deliciousdesserts

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned whole-rolled oats (not quick-cook or instant)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup Cornflakes or Special K cereal (Frosted Flakes or a similar cereal may be substituted)
  • 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (walnuts or raisins may be substituted)

Instructions

  1. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) add the egg, butter, sugars, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes.
  2. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
  3. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the chocolate chips, Cornflakes, coconut, pecans, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 13 equal-sized mounds of dough.*
  5. Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading.
  6. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes (11 minutes in my oven is just right), or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don’t overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don’t use a rack.

Ingredients

  • CHOCOLATE CAKE
  • 2 cups (260g) flour
  • 2 cups (414g) sugar
  • 3/4 cup (70g) Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
  • CARAMEL SAUCE AND ICING
  • 1 1/2 cups (310g) sugar
  • 9 tbsp (126g) salted butter, cubed, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, room temperature
  • 4 cups (460g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) milk
  • CHOCOLATE GANACHE
  • 9 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ADDITIONAL
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE CAKE LAYERS:
  2. 1. Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom, and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C).
  3. 2. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine.
  4. 3. Add eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. 4. Slowly add water. Mix well.
  6. 5. Divide batter evenly between cakes pans and bake for about 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
  7. 6. Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
  8. WHILE CAKES COOL, MAKE THE CARAMEL SAUCE AND ICING:
  9. 7. Pour sugar into an even layer in a large saucepan.
  10. 8. Heat on medium-high heat, whisking the sugar until melted. The sugar will clump up first, but will eventually completely melt. This will take about 10 minutes.
  11. 9. Once the sugar has melted, stop whisking and allow to cook until the sugar has turned to a little darker amber color. You may notice a nutty aroma. The change in color will happen quickly, so don’t let it go too long or get too dark or it’ll burn. Remove caramel from the heat.
  12. 10. Add butter and whisk until combined. The mixture will bubble up, but keep whisking until all the butter has melted and combined.
  13. 11. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the caramel and whisk until incorporated.
  14. 12. Cool for about 10-15 minutes before using.
  15. 13. Set aside about 1/3 cup of caramel sauce, then transfer remaining caramel sauce to a mixing bowl.
  16. 14. Slowly add powdered sugar and milk and mix until smooth. You can add more or less milk to get the right consistency for the icing. For help with getting the right consistency, check out this post.
  17. TO PUT CAKE TOGETHER:
  18. 15. Make the ganache by adding the chocolate chips to a metal or glass bowl (see my tips on making chocolate ganache).
  19. 16. Microwave the heavy whipping cream until boiling, then pour over the chocolate chips. Cover bowl with clear wrap for about 5 minutes.
  20. 17. Whisk chocolate until smooth. Microwave in 5-10 second increments as needed, if chocolate isn’t fully smooth and melted.
  21. 18. When the cakes are cool, remove the tops of the cakes with a large serrated knife so they are flat. See my tips on how to level a cake and how to stack a cake.
  22. 16. Place the first layer of cake on cake stand. Top with 1 cup of the caramel icing and spread into an even layer. Top icing with about 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, then drizzle with some chocolate ganache and caramel sauce.
  23. 17. Add second layer of cake and icing and add another 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, caramel sauce and chocolate ganache.
  24. 18. Top cake with remaining cake layer.
  25. 19. Pour remaining ganache over the cake and allow it to drizzle down the sides of the cake. Refrigerate until the ganache is firm.
  26. 20. There should have been a little caramel icing left. Use that to pipe caramel icing around the top edges of the cake, then sprinkle with remaining chopped pecans and drizzle with caramel sauce.

EASY TIRAMISU MOUSSE | #Goodhumorstrawberryshortcaketrifle #Dessertrecipes #Strawberryshortcakeoreotrifle #Tiramisutriflerecipe #Goodhumorstrawberryshortcakecake #Dessertsforparties #Frozensmores #Dessertrecipesvideos #Cookingrecipes #Smoresdessert #Cupcakecakes #Foodrecipes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee (I use the Starbucks Via packs)
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (see note)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (see note)
  • 8 ounces marscarpone cheese or Challenge cream cheese (low fat cream cheese is fine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ounce semi-sweet baking chocolate

Instructions

  1. Place the instant coffee in the hot water and stir. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use. (Alternately: you can use an 8 ounce carton of whipped topping. See note.)
  3. Mix powdered sugar and marscarpone/cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of the coffee. Add up to the entire amount of coffee, depending on how strong you want your tiramisu. (I added all of it because that’s how I roll.) Mix in vanilla.
  4. Fold whipped cream into coffee mixture gently. Place the tiramisu in a gallon size ziploc bag that is fitted with a large round or 1M tip.
  5. Pipe a small amount the bottom of each of 4 serving glasses (my glasses were 6 ounce size). Top the layer with a dusting of cocoa powder. Continue layering the tiramisu and cocoa powder. Once you get to the top layer, grate the 1 ounce of semi-sweet baking chocolate over the tops of the serving dishes (instead of the dusting of cocoa powder). This gives a sweet first taste instead of being bitter from the unsweetened cocoa. Chill, covered, in the fridge until ready to serve.
