Truffles. Single Serve Cookie Dough. Campfire Cones - Chef Jessica Bright. I love camping!
I love planning our menu and cooking while on a camping trip. S’mores are the proverbial camping dessert and I enjoy them but they can be really, really, really messy. I know, that is part of the fun! But sometimes the combination of marshmallow goo, sand, leaves, and the great outdoors is just a little too much for me. I thought up this yummy treat as an alternate option for our family in hopes that it will help cut back on some of the mess. You have two choices for when to make these—you can assemble everything, wrap the whole thing in foil, and then just pull it out and place it on the campfire when you are ready to go; or you can bring the “fillings” and let everyone assemble the cones as they choose there by your campfire and then wrap and cook. For each camper you will need: 1 ice cream cone (I prefer sugar cones) Yummy choices for toppings! And an assortment of the fillings of your choice. You essentially create your own custom candy bar! Fun sweets.
All time favorite- Gulab Jamun!! Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats with Trader Joe's Mini Peanut Butter Cups. I need to post a retraction.
In my last post, the Valentine's Day Double Chocolate Pudding, I misspoke when I commented, "Mr. and Mrs. Romance we are not. " That was only half true. While I did lovingly make the Double Chocolate Pudding complete with chocolate truffle heart on top, that was about the extent of my romance. Not bad, or so I thought.... You'll remember that my Valentine was some 2500 miles away on the shores of Waikiki on the 14th. The following afternoon after watching him gracefully land his enormous 767 at Lindbergh Field (San Diego) he popped into the car and we raced up the highway to hopefully make our 6PM date with my Dad for our monthly Wine Club pickup.
Thinking he was rummaging through the pack for some work related item, I was surprised when produced a small, colorful bag with a little gold box inside. I hereby retract my comment above and proclaim: Mr. Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats 6 cups Rice Krispies (or 3 cups Rice Krispies and 3 cups Chocolate Puffed Rice) Tartelette. I know, it seems very strange to put "baked" and "doughnuts" in the same sentence and then expect you to believe me when I say they were good...but they were!
But why would I turn a completely good fried piece of Americana into a baked good? Well, for once I was curious to try another recipe after my first success last year. I also have the same reason as last year for trying baked doughnuts yet again. My parents are coming to visit for a while and they love waking up to the scent of nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon....and my dad can't resist the attraction of a good doughnut. However, they both have health issues that I have to take ito consideration when baking and cooking (heart and diabetes). Looking online you will find dozens of recipes for baked doughnuts but how would you know if they are any good?
Baked Doughnuts, adapted from this recipe: Place 1/3 cup of the warm milk in the bowl of an electric mixer. Cinnamon Roll Pulls. I've been seeing a lot of different versions of this bread floating around the internet.
All of the versions I've seen are savory and use lots of cheese. While I love a good cheesy bread, I decided to go in a different direction and make a sweet version. I settled on a cinnamon roll version. This bread is SO addictive. We could not stop pulling off pieces of this delicious cinnamon sugar bread and popping it in our mouths. Cinnamon Roll Pulls(Printable Recipe) 1 unsliced round loaf sourdough bread 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup honey 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 cup sugar 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 cup powdered sugar 1-2 Tbsp milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To make Vanilla Honey Butter: Whip butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar together until smooth; stir in honey and vanilla.
Cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2" slices, without cutting through the bottom crust. Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet.
