mock mock!


I have forever been wanting to bake the ultimate chocolate cheesecake but the recipe intimidates me – it’s such a delicate dessert. I’ve checked various recipes from the baked and no bake versions but there seems to be no foolproof recipe. The instructions read easy enough but I’m just scared I’ll waste all the cream cheese.
One otherwise boring day, I went a lookee in the fridge and found graham crackers, a couple packages of all purpose cream and suddenly an idea took over. I, then and there decided to make a ‘mock chocolate cheesecake’!! – it was like a practice run until I get the guts to make the real thing and hey it turned out fairly ok if I may say so!

Mock Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter
- 1 ¾ cup finely crushed chocolate graham crackers
- ½ cup flour
- Sugar
- 1 package all purpose cream
- 1 cup Chocolate chips


How to:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a medium square baking pan. Set aside
- For crust, in small saucepan heat butter until light brown. Remove from heat and set aside
- Combine together graham crackers, flour and sugar. Stir in butter until combined. Evenly press on bottom of prepared pan. Bake 8-10 minutes
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan heat cream over low heat for 5 minutes, remove from heat and stir in half cup of chocolate chips until melted. When cooled pour over crust. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until center becomes set. Cool and cut into bars

VARIATIONS:

can be brownie or cake base - bake brownie or cake from a box as directed and proceed to step 4!!!



hope to make 'real' cheesecake soon!!

dressing up desserts

I had just purchased a half gallon tub of ice cream and wanted to dress it up by making waffle cups. I knew it is made of the same batter as pancakes but without a waffle cone or cup maker I have a general idea on how I can make it into a basket shape and make it crispy. So I started by making pancake batter (again feeling lazy I used boxed mix) and thinned it bit with a little more milk. I cooked them as you would a pancake but since it was a thin batter you have to be careful in flipping it as it is more delicate.  When it has cooked I arranged them on an inverted slightly greased muffin pan then I bake them at 100 degrees until they were crispy - I did not want to bake them at higher temperature for fear of burning them so I baked at a lower temperature for longer time. dessert time!!!!

caramel apples!!!

... I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
