Chocolate Strawberry Tofu Shake

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:28:31 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This one is not really vegan-friendly but sure is delicious. No extra sugar really needed for this one! -- posted by the80srule

Mayan Hot Chocolate

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:55:07 -0400

From Silk Soymilk, posted here for safe-keeping because I don't keep the cartons around after the soymilk's been drunk. Really good for a dessert drink after a Mexican feast or something a little less traditional to warm you up on a hot day! Want to make it cocktail party edition? Add a little creme de cacao, Baileys, and rum! -- posted by the80srule

High Tea Caramel Chocolate Bars With Shortbread Crust

Copied from the Tribune, posting for safekeeping and I'm tired of news clippings laying around everywhere. Sooo yummy and decadent! Great for parties and high tea, although I'm going to be honest and say that I ate these after I knocked back a bottle of cheap Chianti while watching The Jeffersons when I had nothing else to do on a Friday night. -- posted by the80srule

Colorado Mel's Glazed-Chocolate-Cheesecake-Cupcakes

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:51:22 -0400

These are my favorite cupcakes from when I was young! They're so delicious, they're easy to make, and everyone always wants the recipe. :) My mom used to spread the extra glaze between graham crackers and we would eat them after they hardened. Those were so good that sometimes we would just make the glaze recipe minus the cupcakes! -- posted by Colorado Mel

The Original Red Velvet Cake

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:54:01 -0400

My Grandmother, Lillie Carbeau Blanchard, brought this recipe to our family from her Louisiana home in 1957. It was an instant favorite and in demand for birthdays each year. It has been a tradition in our home and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. When I make the icing, I blend the flour into the milk with the mixer first, then I cook it on a medium heat to begin with, constantly stirring to avoid lumps, increasing the heat along the way. Make sure you stir the sides and bottom of the pan. Let the stiff mixture cool to room temperature before you blend in the sugar, butter and vanilla. I double the icing recipe. as it is not too sweet and our family loves it! Also - I cool the layers in the refrigerator overnight then I spilt the layers, making this more like a "torte" than a regular cake. -- posted by Mercy's Mommie

Rich Hot Chocolate for One

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:51:40 -0400

I make this perfectly rich and easy hot chocolate for myself most mornings. It's lowfat, sugar free, and I'd rather the antioxidants from this versus caffeine from coffee. This is way better than those questionable, hardly chocolatey, who-knows-whats-in-them packets. -- posted by jafontenot

Rice Cooker Chocolate Cake

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:43:23 -0400

This dark, rich, chocolate cake is perfect with coffee on a lazy afternoon or as a special treat for a birthday cake. It has no eggs or milk so is ok for Vegans. Top it with your favourite frosting, or just sprinkle powdered sugar on it to 'finish' it for the table.I love the recipe as I alway seem to be out of milk and eggs, so this recipe suits my house! I do not have an oven so need something that works in rice cooker. Rice Cookers vary but this recipe seems to work just fine in most. Set the cooker for slow cook if you have that function. -- posted by circle3

I'm posting the recipes from 'The Dream Team' gathered by The Virginian-Pilot and submitted for judging in this year's state fair. They were printed in the 10/14/09 edition of the newspaper. These cookies won 1st place at the 2009 Virginia State Fair.

Weight Watchers 2 Point Brownies- Awesome! (Ww)

I came up with this after reading a ton of reviews of WW brownies and trying a bunch of recipes that are not really low point or not really good...its very HG inspired. Don't be scared of the pumpkin, its nutritious, adds moisture and makes the brownie very dense. I ran it through recipe builder using the Betty Crocker low-fat brownie mix.

Asa Ransom House Brownie Mania

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:13:32 -0400

In 1799, the Holland Land Company offered lots 10 miles apart in what is now Clarence, New York, to "any proper man who would build and operate a tavern upon it". A young silversmith named Asa Ransom, had been plying his trade in the little fur trading post on the shores of Lake Erie. He was among the first to accept this opportunity and in the hollow of the ledge, near a pine grove, built a log home & tavern. In 1803, he built a grist mill, the first in Erie County. Over time, the business has evolved into a charming inn noted for it's authenticity, hospitality and cuisine. -- posted by Molly53

One of the first things my mother taught me how to cook. I remember the smell and hardly being able to wait for it to cool. Now days, everyone asks me for it on the holidays so it's stayed a holiday tradition. It takes almost 30 minutes exactly from start to finish and sets up every time. I have never made it where it doesn't get hard. Handed down from my aunt whom I was named after. -- posted by For JT's Grandma

Choc Chip "kool-Cookies"

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:29:14 -0400

I got this recipe this morn from my friend Sharon Kool...hence, Kool Cookies ;-) Here in the tropics, cookies go soft quickly so the texture of this dense, chocolatey crunchy biscuit is just perfect for us, and taste is good too. Cook time can be extended by five mins if you prefer a super dense bikky. Very filling. I am storing this recipe for safekeeping, but do not yet know how many it makes. Recipe calls for unsalted butter yet adds salt later? Personally I'll use salted butter but no extra salt. It's the sort of cookie that will survive two days in a school bag with minimal damage, unless eaten first! -- posted by RubberDucky AU

The 65-year-old Mesnier survived 25 years and five presidencies as White House executive pastry chef before retiring in 2004. His annual White House gingerbread houses are legendary, and he's considered an international expert on spun sugar. Rosalynn Carter hired Mesnier in 1979, snagging him from the Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Va. For the next 25 years, he delighted the first families and visiting dignitaries with his elaborate desserts and sugar creations. Mesnier says he enjoyed his time with all of the families and appreciated their differences. This is his recipe. Cooking and baking time does not time to cool cupcakes. -- posted by Nado2003

Spooktacular Halloween Pudding Cups

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:17:46 -0400

Super fun Halloween treats that the kids are sure to enjoy. Easy to make and look great to!! I got the idea off of another website that used chocolate pudding but I thought using vanilla and dying it orange would be really cool since the pudding and oreos together would be traditional Halloween colors. This recipe can be easily divided in half and so on. For the pudding I used the kind that you cook verses the instant. I think the cooked pudding has a much nicer and thicker consistancy. The amount below for the oreos is a guesstimate because it wouldn't let me put down 1 large package of oreos but either way just one regular package of oreos crushed is what you need. Enjoy! -- posted by mamawheezy

This cake is unreal! It is so scrumptious and I only allowed myself a tiny taste! Delizzzzous! Thi cake is one of the final three in the 20th birthday cake competition at BBC Good Food. This dark, rich, moist delectable cake is one of the desserts we are serving for our Thanksgiving Dinner. All family members are invited and we fill up the DR, the patio off the DR, the two lobbies and the hallways! Good Food magazine, November 2009 issue.:) The recipe calls for golden syrup and since the recipe is English, I think it called for Lyle's Golden Syrup. I know it can be found in NYC & other large cities - we found it in a specialty store here in South Miami. A good substitute - Steen's Cane Syrup - good luck. That is what came up when I googled it ;) -- posted by Manami

Fat-Free Banana Fudge Brownies

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:13:19 -0500

A fat-free alternative to a classic dessert. I used cake meal to weigh down the texture of the brownies, which sometimes fluff up too much when oil or butter isn't used. It also gives the brownies a rich, deep, sweetness and retains moisture better. Also, the course kosher sea salt (preferably Mediterranean sea salt) is a must. The flavor of the chocolate is really dependent on the salt in this recipe, so using good quality course sea salt makes a huge difference. -- posted by seattle gourmet

Sweet Peat

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:01:17 -0500

This sounds strange - in German it's even stranger, it's just "peat" (Torf). But I thought nobody would like the sound of that, so I added the "sweet". In fact this is a recipe which I got from a Thuringian lady who told me this was a traditional christmas treat in her family. Whether it's originally Thuringian I don't know; I only found a swiss variety of it called "chocolate peat" (Schoggi Torf). It reminds me of brownies but differs from them in that it's only made with chocolate, not with cocoa powder. It's very dense and rich and tastes fantastic, and I'm really curious what the calculation will tell us about the energy... So, the patient information leaflet says that you have to cut it into SMALL cubes, much smaller than brownies, in order not to overdose it. For risks and side effects DON'T ask your doctor! Servings are a guess - I actually never counted how many cubes I got. -- posted by Mia in Germany

Vegan Double Chocolate Kahlua Cookies

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:50:19 -0500

I love to bake with liqueurs and came up with this easy to make, versatile vegan cookie. These are chocolaty and delicious. I use soy creamer (SILK) hazelnut but any flavor of soy milk or creamer will do. You can switch up the flavor profile, for example, maybe use Hazelnut Liqueur with hazelnuts, Amaretto with almonds, etc... Please let me know what interesting combos you all come up with. Will be doing the same :) -- posted by Ashly1021

Amy's Mud Puddles

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:22:23 -0500

This recipe was in the Land O Lakes newsletter. Made them last night and they are a winner! I used Hersey's dark chocolate chips and added a teaspoon of vanilla. So quick and easy and chocolatey enough to please my DS, who is a chocolate fanatic. Will be making lots of these for the holidays! -- posted by Wineaux

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Sinful Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:44:27 -0500

I make these during the good times, the bad times, and whenever I do not have the willpower to say no to chocolate. I've been messing with the ingredients and amounts in this recipe for a while now, but am pretty pleased with the results. Not too crunchy, but not too gooey, and more savory than sweet. -- posted by foodlust

The Realtor's Cookies & Cream Shake

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:28:40 -0500

We just LOVE this shake. You can adjust the amount of coffee granules to suit your taste. I use just 1/2 tablespoon but you can use up to 2 full tablespoons. Crumble extra cookies over the top for a decorative look. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Pecan Pie Cheesecake With Caramel-Pecan Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:41:32 -0500

The better the quality of the bourbon you use, the better the flavor in both the cheesecake and the sauce. For a simpler dessert, skip the cheesecake and serve the delectable sauce over pound cake or ice cream. I have been making cheesecakes for a long time but this took my breath away and it is scrumptious! ;) CuisineAtHome - Issue 78, December 2009..Cooling times have not been included, about 3 to 24 hours. -- posted by Manami

Simple Flourless Chocolate and Chestnut Truffle Cake With Fresh

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:54:40 -0500

This is absolutely DIVINE! The texture is smooth and somewhere between a chocolate cake a chocolate truffle. If you love chocolate, you'll love this as its just out of this world. A good substitute for those who don't like Christmas pudding, though I bet everyone will go off Christmas pudding once they taste this! Double or Triple the quantities for a larger party, a small slice is usually enough as its very rich. The brandy is optional and comes through more as a subtle flavour than anything else but feel free to add more to the cream if you prefer a stronger flavour (I do). If I make this during the summer I would leave out the brandy. Also this cake needs to be made at least a day in advance and it freezes well too. -- posted by robd16

Hawaiian Hospitality Banana Nut Bread

In Hawaii. the Pineapple is a symbol of Hospitality, so this "friendly" banana-pineapple bread with macadamia nuts is just the right thing ;) to serve when yo are having guests over or to take with you to give as a nice house warming gift or as a delicious treat for your hosts. I tasted this at a freind's house and it was delicious - she put rum & kahlua in it and was it scrumptious! :) Delightful. Enjoy this bread as a snack or toast and spread cream cheese over it for a tasty breakfast treat.September 3, 20005 diana'sdesserts.com. Didn't allow for cooling time. -- posted by Manami
