Fruit and Cream Braid. This is a recipe my Grandmother makes, my Mom made, and I have learned as well. Its so perfect- looks so impressive, but is secretly super easy- using bread machine dough and store bought pie filling (though you can make the bread dough and filling by hand too). And did I mention how amazingly tasty it is?! I think I could eat it for every meal.

One of the real wonders of the Fruit and Cream Braid is that you can switch it up- to make any kind of braid ya like- Cherries and Cream (my personal favorite), Strawberries and Cream, Lemon Cream, Apple Cream, Blueberry Cream. . . gosh I could go on forever with the ridiculous amount of possibilities. On this auspicious day, I pass this recipe on to you, dear audience, to have and to cherish. In your stand mixer: 1) In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. 2) While the yeast foams up (or to properly call it: proofs), stir together the flour and salt in the bowl of your stand mixer. Šam s voćem / Fruit Meringue Mousse. U današnje vreme, na sve strane se pravi panna cotta, cheesecake i ostale kremaste poslastice pune želatina. S obzirom na to da nisam ljubitelj gumene konzistencije, moj omiljeni krem-desert je bio i ostao crème brûllée, ali postoji nešto veoma starinsko, veoma jednostavno, a naizgled, potpuno zaboravljeno što je prethodilo svemu ovome.

"Šam" je odomaćena varijanta nemačke reči Schaum, što znači pena. A šam od voća, konkretno od malina, obeležio je svako leto mog detinjstva. Moram da vam priznam da nisam bila neki ljubitelj, kao što nisam volela ni Vasinu tortu. Dete kada vidi sneg od belanaca, pomisli: "Njam, ovo je šlag! " pa se uvek sneveseli kada ga dočeka nemasni, nemlečni šam, koji je u poređenju sa šlagom topao i presladak. I da se odmah razumemo, ova poslastica je suviše slatka da bi se jela solo, kao puding ili čokoladni mus. Napisala sam tri pasusa, a još uvek vam nisam rekla šta je najbolja stvar u vezi sa šamom. Za čak četiri porcije potrebno vam je samo: 150 g malina 1 belance. Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie. Lemon-Filled Coconut Cupcakes. I made these lemon-curd filled coconut cupcakes with 7-minute frosting for my lovely friend Marnie in celebration of her l’il sprout, whose much anticipated arrival is expected later this month. Marnie is a strong contender for cutest pregnant lady ever.

I co-hosted a baby shower for her a couple of weekends ago. She opted to keep the baby’s sex a surprise, so rather than exhausting ourselves with originality, her mom and I went with classic, gender-neutral yellow as the party’s theme colour. Yellow balloons, yellow duckies, yellow cupcakes. These cupcakes have a double hit of coconut: sweet, creamy coconut milk as the liquid; and fragrant, nutty toasted coconut folded in.

The lemon curd filling is not the traditional version. The icing on the cake is a billowing, marshmallow-y 7-minute frosting that nudges the whole situation into tropical-lemon-meringue territory.

I know, I’ve made a few pies lately. But see how these are different? Look at how adorable these are! I mean, come on. Could you resist?

I sure couldn’t. Which explains why I don’t have a picture of these all plated nicely, snuggling with ice cream. We ate them before I had a chance to think about pictures. Oops. This is why I had leftover dough for that impromptu dinner. Although this recipe is a little time consuming, it’s no harder than making any sort of real pie. It still involves slicing fruit. Rolling out crust and making it look pretty. Mixing fruit and sugar and cornstarch. And taking bites with your eyes closed so you can focus solely on each flavor. Please give these a try. Apple Pies Inspired by Pinterest Preheat the oven to 375F. Core an apple, then use a melon baller or knife to hollow out the apple more, being careful not to go all the way through the skin. Slice the apple bits into smaller bits, and then mix them with the sugars, cinnamon, cardamom (optional) and cornstarch. Better-Than-Crack-Brownies. I’m sorry for doing this to you.

I really am. But see, last Friday while I was on a 10-hour road trip heading for vacation, I received this recipe from a reader named Liz. Liz, I love you. That’s all I have to say.

I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again).

Homemade Snickers Bars | How Sweet It Is - StumbleUpon. Insanity. That’s what this is. Pure In.San.It.TEEEEE. You know those days when you’re in desperate need of sugar and you’ve already downed more gummy vitamins than recommended while seriously considering how many more you can ingest without causing severe harm to your internal organs? They’re just so gooooood. Well… in that case you should make some homemade snickers bars. And I KNOW you know what I’m talking about. I spent the majority of my pre-pubescent and adolescent years scheming just how I would be able to steal my brothers’ Halloween candy. Then I went through a SERIOUS phase of those Snickers ice cream bars. And that you can eat a million of them. These days, it’s rare that I crave actual candy, often preferring some chewy cookies or super rich cheesecake or a bar of amazing chocolate that costs thrice as much as the recent organic meyer lemons I purchased.

They are the peanut butter to my jelly. The salt to my pepper. The broccoli to my… wait, no. And the fabulous part? Nougat layer. - StumbleUpon.
