Simply The Best Chocolate Coconut Brownies…

Fudgy brownies topped with a layer of creamy sweet coconut and finished with a smooth chocolate ganache. Use your favorite boxed or homemade brownie recipe for this decadent triple layer dessert.

INGREDIENTS

BROWNIE BASE:

One 8×8 or 9×9 pan of brownies baked and cooled (you can use boxed or homemade brownies, see notes for a link to my favorite brownie recipe)

COCONUT FILLING:

6 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1/3 cup heavy cream or half and half
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut

CHOCOLATE GANACHE:

1/3 cup heavy cream or half and half
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
additional shredded coconut for garnish optional

INSTRUCTIONS

COCONUT FILLING:

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, cream or half and half, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the coconut and beat for another minute to thoroughly combine.
Dump the coconut mixture on top of the cooled brownies and spread it around into an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the ganache.

FOR THE GANACHE:

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream and chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Pour the ganache over the coconut topped brownies, smoothing the top. If you’d like to sprinkle the top of the brownies with additional shredded coconut, do so now, while the ganache is still soft.
Return the brownies to the fridge for at least an hour for the ganache to firm up before cutting and serving. These brownies are rich, I cut them small.

Simply The Best Mini STRAWBERRY PIES with sugar cookie crust! If you like let us your HELLO and give me your liked LOOK…

receitas — Wed, 16 May 2018 17:30:32 +0000

Simply The Best Mini STRAWBERRY PIES with sugar cookie crust…

INGREDIENTS

1 16 oz. package Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Strawberry Filling

2 pounds strawberries hulled, halved divided
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 Pinch salt
3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin (powdered Jell-O)
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Sugar Cookie Pie Crust

NOTE – Sugar Cookie Pie Crusts can be made first and stored in an airtight container once cooled (up to 24 hours in advance) or made and cooled right before filling with strawberries.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray with FLOUR or grease and flour your pan. Cut cookie dough into 12 even slices and press into the bottom and about 2/3 up the sides of prepared muffin cups.*
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are barely golden. Let cool 5 minutes then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (about 20 minutes). If your mini crusts don’t cave in the center after cooling, then gently press the insides down with the bottom of a tablespoon.

Strawberry Glaze

Add 1 cup roughly chopped strawberries and 1/2 cup water to a blender and puree until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
Add puree to a small saucepan along with cornstarch, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, being careful not to over-thicken (or your glaze will be more like Jell-O consistency once cooled). Transfer to a large bowl and stir in Jell-O and lemon juice. Cool to room temperature. Set aside.

Strawberry Filling

Slice any extra large strawberry halves into quarters and add all strawberries to cooled Strawberry Glaze and stir until evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 2-5 hours, up to 24.
When ready to serve, spoon filling into cooled cookie cups.

Whipped Cream

When ready to serve, place a metal mixing bowl and metal whisk in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and add sugar and heavy cream. Whisk over medium high speed until stiff peaks form. Dollop mini pies with cream. Serve immediately.

RECIPE NOTES

*I dip my fingertips in flour before I press the dough into the cups – makes the dough super easy to work with.

Simply The Best Spring Caramel Pretzel Bites are sweet, salty, crunchy and delicious! If you like let us your HELLO and give me your liked LOOK…

Simply The Best Spring Caramel Pretzel Bites are sweet, salty, crunchy and delicious!

An easy and fun treat for Easter, Mother’s Day or a Spring Brunch.

INGREDIENTS:

Pretzel Snaps
Hershey Kisses
Caramel Candy
Easter M&M Candy

DIRECTIONS:

Each Spring Caramel Pretzel Bite will use one Caramel ball and one Chocolate Kiss.

Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel candy piece in half. Then use the palm of your hand to roll the two pieces of caramel into balls.
For the kisses, use the knife to slice off the pointy top of the chocolate candy. This will give you just the right amount of chocolate for the pretzel bite.
To assemble the Pretzel Bites, take the caramel ball and gently press it onto the Pretzel Snap, flattening the caramel until it is slightly smaller than the pretzel itself.
Then melt the Chocolate Kisses in the microwave for approximately 50 seconds with the Kisses bottom down/cut-side up.
When you take the slightly melted Kiss out of the oven, press a single M&M onto the top as shown above.
Finally, place the chocolate kisses into the freezer for 3-5 minutes so they will firm back up.
Once the chocolate has cooled, use the tip of a knife to transfer the chocolate disc unto the caramel disc.
Press down gently, the sticky caramel will grab unto the chocolate and they be firmly attached.
