Delicious Butter Cookies. During Christmas, my children love to make cookies. Of course, they love using fun cookie cutters to make cookies. Hence, I haven’t bought any icing to allow my children to decorate the cookies yet. Also, I worry that it would get extremely messy and be too sweet.

Melt in Your Mouth Chocolate Pudding

adminDecember 20, 2020July 7, 2021Leave a comment

Melt in Your Mouth Chocolate Pudding. As a result, my little girl loves chocolate. Whenever I am grocery shopping, I always see the Jello brand chocolate pudding. Hence, I decided to try homemade pudding by using dark chocolate chips. As well as using less sugar, I want to use natural sugar either maple syrup or honey.

Melt in Your Mouth Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

Dark Chocolate Chip 1 1/2 cup

non-dairy milk or milk 1 cup

unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tbsp

3 tsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp – 1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Start by Turning on the stove at low heat, melt chocolate chips. Stir regularly to prevent it from sticking.
Secondly, add cocoa powder, maple syrup, and milk. Whisk.
Then, add cornstarch. Stir.
Let it simmer while stirring regularly. Next, add in vanilla extract.
Turn off the stove. Let the content cool.
Finally, pour the chocolate mixture into small containers. And then, refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Make Pudding Special

Ways to elevate chocolate pudding, do change the type of dairy used instead of regular milk change to evaporated milk. Thus, evaporated milk makes the pudding richer and creamier. Also, the pudding will taste better by adding various toppings from fresh fruit to lighten the dessert. No only lighten the dessert, the treat will be more refreshing. By sprinkling chopped nuts on top of the pudding, the pudding will have more texture. Besides the above, if you want a twist to the treat do sprinkle with a little bit of cayenne. This will add a kick to the dessert.

Do try this pudding. If you enjoy homemade goods, do try cinnamon rolls. I would like to try more gluten-free dishes like Chocolate Cream Pie.

Pho process

The noodle soup broth is made by cooking beef bones for many days. This allows the broth to have a strong flavor. Originally, the broth was just a simple dish made by cooking the bone broth.

Lemon Cake Dessert

adminMay 27, 2020July 7, 2021Leave a comment

Lemon Cake Dessert. Last month my mother in law made a breakfast loaf my son couldn’t stop eating. I wanted to make something similar. Lemon helps to prevent the cake from becoming too heavy. Citrus makes the cake light and refreshing. A slice of lemon always brightens up a dish with a lovely yellow color. Also, lemon can help with the greasiness of the food.

Lemon Cake Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup of olive oil
1 cup of sugar
1 lemon zest
2 eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup non-dairy milk or almond milk
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Directions

Turn on the oven to 350 degrees. Take a loaf pan. Brush with oil.
With a small dish, put in the zest of a lemon. Take a lemon and juiced it. Reduce the lemon juice in a small pot on a stove. Let it cool.
In a medium to a large bowl, whisk olive oil, sugar, and lemon juice.
Then, add one at a time. Mix to combine together.
Afterward, add in non-dairy milk and lemon juice. Combine.
In another bowl, mix dry ingredients gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Scoop and pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for one hour.
Once done. Allow the loaf to cool.

Loaf goes with

What goes well with a loaf cake? A homemade fruit sauce with fresh berries or fruit cooked to reduce. How about a lovely jar of fruit jam from blueberries to strawberry jam. If the preference is to have a fruity loaf cake or just a simple icing on top. Another thing, this can be treated as a dessert after dinner maybe with a scoop of ice cream on top. A healthier option is to sprinkle some nuts on top.

Do try Lemon Cake Dessert. If you enjoy baked goods, why not give baked bagel a try. I would love to try a gluten-free English muffin.

Crunchy Gluten-free Waffle

Or, there are many things to add to the batter to make it healthier or more nutritious. Do add Greek yogurt for a more moist waffle. Sprinkle some blended flax for more fiber. In fact, add in mashed banana or applesauce for a sweeter taste with natural sugar. Much less sugar in the batter, this will be a healthier breakfast.

Crunchy Gluten-free Waffle Recipe

Ingredients

2 cup of gluten-free flour
1 tbsp. sugar or honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs (room temperature)

Scoop batter into the waffle maker. Close the waffle maker. Once done. I like to flip the waffle to make it nice and crunchy. Note: this recipe makes 8 pieces.

Unique Flavor

If you are tired of the typical waffle, maybe it is time to be adventurous and to try different flavors. How about peanut butter with chocolate? By the way, if you are fond of chocolate do try it with grated orange. Furthermore, try a nutty waffle by using chickpea with an egg on top. How about making a cup of tea like London fog waffle with some whipped cream on top.

What would you like to try or experiment with? Do have some fun. Maybe fall with one of your combinations.
