Watermelon Lime Sorbet Slices. A sweet and tangy watermelon lime sorbet is a great way to cool off in the summer. As a bonus, this recipe is frozen back in the watermelon rind and cut off into slices. It’s hot. The type of heat where when you step outside the door and your skin is wet before the door swings shut behind you. It’s a hot that hangs in the air, letting you breathe it in, that is cured only by two things: being completely immersed in water or hiding indoors, the air conditioning cranked as far as it will go.I find that the heat makes me very unmotivated to do things like take a walk, water and weed the garden (though I have forced that one on myself) and prepare food and eat it.

However, when the promise of cooking provides ice cold watermelon sorbet, I just may be convinced. When your simple syrup is cool and watermelon chunked, blend them together in a food processor or blender until smooth. Cool the liquid completely in the refrigerator for a few hours. This then goes into the freezer. Truly, nothing. Coffee Pudding for Two. I’m not typically much of a sweet tooth, but I’ll admit that when the craving for dessert hits, there’s no stopping me. The real problem arises when my appetite for sugar involves an entire batch of cookies or about 10 pounds of chocolate cake (this recipe is my favorite!). This Coffee Pudding makes the perfect amount for two generous servings. That means I get to enjoy dessert without throwing my New Year’s resolution (completely) out the window due to my usual lack of portion control. Share this decadent dish with a friend or significant other (hint, hint…Valentine’s Day is coming up), and you’ll be able to satisfy that sweet tooth without having to worry about giving in to the lure of leftovers for the next week.

Then again…creamy pudding made with rich Sumatra coffee and dark chocolate – well, you may want to throw portion control out the window and just make a double batch. Coffee Pudding for Two Adapted from Not Without Salt Yields 2 generous servings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. 2. 3. 4. Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Blender Pudding. Rich, creamy pudding made with everyone’s favorite combination. And, it’s made simple by using a blender. Thank you Coffee-mate for sponsoring this post and providing the product samples! For more delicious fun and giveaway opportunities, follow Coffee-mate on Facebook and Twitter. What if I told you that rich, creamy, homemade pudding is just a few pulses away? That’s right, pulses. No cooking. Pretty surreal, right? Surreal as it may seem, this pudding is for real. We all use coffee creamer for coffee, right? Enter, blender pudding. I used Coffee-mate‘s newest flavor, Extra Sweet & Creamy, to create a velvety smooth pudding right in the bowl of your blender.

Blender pudding is made by taking frozen bananas and whipping them in the blender with vanilla almond milk, liquid coffee creamer, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and mini chocolate chips. The result is a super thick pudding ready to eat the minute you scoop it out of the blender. Print Save Yield: 1 serving Ingredients: Samoa Cheesecake Dip - Jasey's Crazy Daisy.

It’s becoming evident that I have a thing for treats inspired by Samoa Girl Scout cookies like this Samoa Cheesecake Dip. Seriously, I just cannot help myself! Chewy caramel, chocolate, toasted coconut, shortbread… seriously, what’s not to love (unless you are my husband who just cannot handle coconut)? This dessert dip is no exception.

I wanted to create a dip with chewy bits of caramel running through it rather than adding caramel sauce straight to the base as flavoring so I came up with Rolos which bring both chocolate and caramel to the mix. Originally I thought I would save some time and used mini Rolos, so that I didn’t have to unwrap them, but they didn’t work as well as I would have liked. Samoa Cheesecake Dip 8 oz. cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup powdered sugar 2 Tablespoons brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 20 Rolos, cut into fourths 3/4 cup toasted coconut, plus some for garnishing caramel ice cream topping, optional for garnish. Pavlova with Lemon Curd and Berry Compote.

If you’re looking for a summer stunner to complete your meal (or just because you’re craving dessert) this is it. It’s a show stopper and best of all it doesn’t take too much effort to pull together. A Pavlova is simply a fancy name for a meringue based dessert. We’re not going to get into who came up with the dessert because well I don’t want to open that can of worms. Let’s just say thank you that it does exist and we can make and enjoy it.

It’s crispy and crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. There are a few things that you must make sure you do when making a Pavlova: 1. If you like to get fancy schmancy you can pipe the mixture onto your baking sheet. Baci! Pavlova with Lemon Curd and Berry Compote What You Will Need: 5 egg whites - room temperature 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract lemon curdblueberry compote What To Do: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. No-Bake Peanut Butter Nanaimo Bars. It’s no secret that I like to bake, but sometimes, I like to not bake. As in no-bake. As in delicious, no-bake peanut butter and chocolate bars. For those that aren’t familiar, Nanaimo Bars are a sweet Canadian treat, usually filled with a thick vanilla custard/pudding in the middle.

They are named after the beautiful British Columbia city of Nanaimo, where they originated (pronounced “na-n_eye-mo”, emphasis on the middle syllable). These bars are dead easy. The first is just to be conscious of keeping a nice sweet/salt balance. Secondly, I thought I’d pass on a little tip for cutting these bars. That’s it. Based on the classic Canadian treat, these Nanaimo bars feature a creamy peanut butter filling. Ingredients Instructions Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining with parchment paper.For the bottom layer: In a large bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs, coconut and finely chopped peanuts.

Earl Grey Chocolate Pots de Crème (Dairy-Free, Paleo Friendly) Super silky and intense, these earl grey infused chocolate pots de crème will make chocolate and tea lovers rejoice. These chocolate pots are just rich enough to satisfy your most intense chocolate cravings while remaining delicate and approachable. Dark and complex with the delicate flavor of black tea and the citrusy scent of bergamot, each spoonful is plush and velvety like the center of a good chocolate truffle. Thankfully the method for making these is as simple as can be. You infuse coconut milk with earl grey tea leaves and a strip or two of citrus while you chop your chocolate and whisk together your eggs and coconut sugar. (This is the time to splurge on that great quality bittersweet chocolate since its flavor takes center stage.) The chocolate goes into the pot and then the whole thing gets whisked into the egg mixture. That’s it, you’re done. All that’s left to do is bake them until just set.

What’s your favorite chocolate dessert? Ingredients Instructions Preheat to 325ºF. Notes. Coconut Bananas Foster - This Silly Girl's Life. Happy Monday Everyone! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. again. I’m back today to share with you my twist on a classic recipe. Ever since I posted my Coffee Bean Syrup & used it on a stack of waffles with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream, I have been wanting to create more things to put on top of waffles & ice cream. I mean…why not??!! I love certain flavors together- bananas & caramel, bananas & coconut, caramel & pecans, bananas & pecans – it’s very good each in their own pairings. Now bananas foster is typically made with rum. This time I used giant Belgian Waffles stacked high, topped with vanilla ice cream & then added my bananas foster. Ingredients 1 stick butter 1 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup Coffee Bean Syrup 2 bananas - sliced 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1-1/2 cups sweetened coconut - divided Instructions Melt a stick of butter in a pan on medium-high heat.
