Creamy Coconut and Rum Baked Pineapple

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:55:14 -0500

I came up with this as a solution to leftover coconut milk and a fresh pineapple. And even on Weight Watchers, it was worth saving points for this dessert. The whole recipe has a total of 8 points. The rum for this dessert should be golden- a light rum will not produce the same depth of flavour. Number of servings will depend on the size of pineapple used- increase the sauce if using a large pineapple. -- posted by Shuzbud

Sponge Kisses

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:26:12 -0500

Over Christmas all the cooks in my family started writing down recipes. This was one of my childhood favourites. Be sure to fill the cakes at least 2 hours before serving so they are nice and soft. You can make them more grownup by omitting the vanilla and jam and mix 1/2 cup of raspberries and 2 tsp liqueur into the cream -- posted by Coasty

Cream Wafers

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:31:04 -0500

These are my most favorite cookies. I bake them for holidays and special occasions. My family absolutely loves them as well. If you read the ingredients, you might not be able to envision how decadent these really are. They are very light and flaky, resemble a puff pastry, and practically melt in your mouth. You can use them plain, or fill them with special frosting. They taste great either way, but of course are much richer with the filling.

White Choc & Raspberry 'cheesecake' Finger Biscuits --- Mmmm

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:19:20 -0500

These are really great luxury biscuits. Simple to accomplish but just perfect for a night in, picnic, kids lunch boxes or to show off at the next coffee morning! ;P I usually make these in an 8x8 square tin and (when done) cut into 8 long strips, then half each strip - i.e. you should end up with 16: 1 inch wide x 4 inches long, fingers. If you cannot find any freeze dried raspberry pieces then you can use just the sauce for the biscuit, but use an extra teaspoon to get the flavouring. Enjoy! -- posted by JinxTheCat

Copycat Cracker Barrel 40th Anniversary Double Fudge Cola Cake

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:57:49 -0500

Cracker Barrel brought back their famous double fudge cola cake for their 40th anniversary and I was able to give their version a try. It was quite different from most of the usual copycat recipes out there, so perhaps their current version has been somewhat adapted over time. There are no nuts in this version. I did base my version on one I originally found on copycat.com, and I think I have it just about right. Expect a very moist, rich, deep dark chocolate sheet cake with a very fudgey thick frosting. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Chocolate-Wasabi Pudding

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:38:42 -0500

Instant chocolate pudding is deepened with additional cocoa powder, heated up with wasabi powder and brightened with lime zest. It will get hotter if left to stand, so if you can't eat it all, start with the lesser amount of wasabi. Be sure to use Dutch cocoa powder; natural isn't as deep in flavor.

Chocolate Covered Oreo Balls

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:05:28 -0500

Had these on Christmas Eve and thought Santa came early! Talk about simple - and sinful! These were extremely easy (and a lot of fun) to make. We used reduced fat ( ::gasp:: ) Oreos, and they were just as good. You could use low fat cream cheese as well. We also decided that covering the *entire* ball made them a bit too sweet (yes, I know - how can that be?!?). Next time, we will just dunk the bottoms in the chocolate. DH and I can't wait to try out different combinations: Peanut butter Oreos, mint Oreos, flavored chips, adding food coloring to white chocolate (for the holidays, game day, school colors, etc) - the creative possibilities are endless! -- posted by Dea Doo

Death by Chocolate Trifle

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:41:29 -0500

This I have made many ways. If you don't like coffee and want a sweet dessert kids will LOVE, use sweetened condensed milk to pour over the cake (about 2/3 of the can) and refrigerate until completely cool. If you want a party dessert adults will love, use Kaluha, about 1/2 cup. Cool whip makes a great sub for whipped cream (might even be better!) but I am trying to use less "fake" foods so I choose to do real. the cool whip holds up better if this will be around for days though! Chocolate mousse is my favorite here, but lots of people have a hard time finding it, i know only a few stores around me carry it so I am listing it with pudding, but if you can find mousse, USE IT! -- posted by newmama

These are the best lemon bars I've ever tried. They have a fabulously buttery crust, a not too sweet or too tart curd-like lemony filling, and a thin chewy top. The recipe is from San Francisco pastry chef Emily Luchetti's cookbook, "Classic Stars Desserts". With more than a cup of fresh lemon juice, the lemon flavour is really pronounced, the filling sets up real well and the dusted sugar makes for a beautiful presentation. NOTE: The squares can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving. -- posted by blucoat

This is another excellent recipe from Diana Rattray. The glaze has a nice consistency due to the cornstarch included and its citrus taste is very good in any cake or cupcakes. Enjoy. -- posted by pinky kookie

Spice Cake That You Don't Tell Your Guests is Tomato Soup Cake

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:50:30 -0500

Based off Recipe #28776 with notable changes made. These would make AWESOME cupcakes. I think subbing soymilk would work but I had regular milk on hand so I just used that. I love using sunflower oil but I'm sure vegetable or canola oil would work in this. I like this with chocolate frosting. -- posted by the80srule

Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies- Just 6 Ingredients!

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:16:18 -0500

Classic comfort food. I remember making these in home ec back in the day. God I hated junior high and would never want to relive that torture: but those cookies were good! That good to make me want to remember it. And we didn't keep Bisquick in my house so it was an especially great delight for me. Makes about 16-24 cookies depending on how big you make them. They may not taste as fine as pure from scratch cookies, but they still taste good and are a time-tested kid pleaser. Can sub vegetable oil or shortening for the butter but the butter tastes better. And to make these a tad fancier, I suggest using 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. -- posted by the80srule
