Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie l Once Upon A Chef. Last weekend, I was asked to bring dessert to a holiday party. I wanted to make something fun so I decided on this decadent pie version of a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, combining chocolate and peanut butter is usually a very good idea; it got a unanimous blog-worthy nod from everyone there. I know it looks complicated but, trust me, it’s really not hard to make. It’s got an easy chocolate wafer crust (a chocolate version of a graham cracker crust), a peanut butter filling that’s simply mixed and folded together, and a chocolate ganache topping that’s made in the microwave.
All I can tell you is that if you walk into a party with this dessert, you’ll be very popular. It’s as good as you’re imagining it to be. Note: You can find a tart pan with a removable bottom for about $10 at any kitchen shop. Ingredients For the Crust For the Peanut Butter Filling For the Topping Instructions Make the chocolate crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Nutty Jam Thumbprints l Once Upon A Chef. These Nutty Jam Thumbprints could win a cookie contest on looks alone, but they’re just as delicious as they are pretty. The cookie is actually a Mexican Wedding Cake, also known as a Russian Tea Cake, Viennese Crescent or Snowball. Delicate, nutty and not-too-sweet, these cookies make the perfect shortbread-like base for a dollop of luscious fruit preserves. The recipe is adapted from Alice Medrich’s award-winning cookie book Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy. The most tender wedding cookies are made with superfine sugar, so begin by pulsing the granulated sugar in a food processor until it is fine and powdery.
Next, add the flour, salt and pecans. Process the mixture until the nuts are finely ground. Add the butter in small pieces. Then pulse until the mixture comes together. Transfer the dough to a bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. Bake for 22-24 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a rack. Now, for the fillings. That’s all there is to it. Enjoy and Happy Holidays! Vanilla Birthday Cake with Old-Fashioned Vanilla Buttercream l Once Upon A Chef. My daughter is turning eight years old this week, and for months she’s been begging me for two things: a puppy and her favorite vanilla birthday cake.
The puppy is definitely not going to happen — I already have my hands full with this big guy. But the cake’s easy. I’ve made this simple vanilla cake every year on her birthday since she was two. The cake recipe is adapted from one of my favorite baking books, Perfect Cakes by Nick Malgieri, and the frosting recipe was handed down to me from my great-grandmother. I know baking a cake from scratch can be intimidating, and I won’t lie: it can be tricky. But it doesn’t have to be. The key – as long as you have a solid recipe like this one – is to follow the instructions carefully. To begin, whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Next, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg whites and milk.
Then add one-third of the milk mixture. While the cake cools, make the frosting. Molten Chocolate Cakes l Once Upon A Chef. Molten chocolate cakes — also known as chocolate lava cakes — are rich individual chocolate cakes with oozing molten centers. The original recipe was created by master chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten fortuitously, when he pulled a chocolate cake out of the oven before it was done and discovered the center to be wonderfully warm and pudding-like. Surprisingly, they’re easy enough for even the novice baker to make at home. What’s more, they can be prepared ahead of time, stored in the fridge and then baked at the last minute.
You’ll need six oven-proof 6-ounce ramekins for the recipe, which you can find at any kitchen store. Begin by buttering them liberally to ensure the cakes release easily. Next, chop up your chocolate. Melt one stick of butter and add the chopped chocolate to the bowl. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Next, combine the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. And gently fold to combine. Enjoy!

Canned Strawberry Jam without a Canner | Living With Three Hobbits and a Giant. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to June. It seemed like the day school let out mom would load up the station wagon and we’d head to upstate NY to see her folks. Her sisters would meet us there and we’d have a huge party. Well, okay, maybe not a party, but a lot of fun. One of the things we cousins did was watch our moms make strawberry jam. We’d come in and out of the kitchen getting our hands smacked by whichever mom was standing over the strawberry bowl we were stealing from. Our mothers toiled a l l d a y l o n g. The reward was strawberry shortcake for dessert that night and homemade jam throughout the year. As we’ve grown up, gotten married, and had kids of our own, my sisters and I have gone to mom’s to put up jam, peaches, and corn.
Last week, my sister Johanna and I decided we wanted to make strawberry jam without a canner to see if we could pull it off. We made an executive decision and bought strawberries from a local farm stand. Here’s what we did: Then the fun began. 5 Ways to Make Ice Cream. Vanilla Ice Recipe | How to Make Vanilla Ice Cubes.
