Microwave Cheesecake

Hello! So last weekend was slightly monumental, we celebrated my 30th birthday. AHHH! I had a great weekend with family and friends. My mom decided to make it an official sweet tooth Saturday with this gem...haha

So after the big weekend and a long week at work I was kind of slow going this weekend to create a post. I wanted something simple and sweet. I also wanted to use these super cute ramekins my boyfriends mom got us :-).

Microwave Cheesecake

Ingredients:
8 Tbsp gram cracker crumbs
4 Tbsp melted butter
1 1\2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 block cream cheese
2 eggs
1\2 cup powdered sugar
5 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

First mix the melted butter, gram cracker crumbs and sugar together. Place a spoonful in the bottom of each ramekin. Press down with your fingers them microwave for 2 minutes.

Next mix together the cream cheese, eggs, milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly into the ramekins and microwave for 2 more minutes.

Chill them in the fridge for 1-2 hours to firm. When ready, addorn with whatever your sweet tooth desires.

This recipe will fill 6 small ramekins. Mmmm. This was pretty easy, the hardest part was waiting the 2 hours to eat.

I hope you enjoy them. Stop by next weekend, I'm excited to share a new fondant creation I will be making this week.

St.Patrick's Day Fun ~ Green Rice Crispy Treats with Rainbow Sprinkles

Hi everyone! So Mr. Mr. and I had some fun in the kitchen for St.Patty's day. This kid loooooves marshmallows! Marshmallow could probably be his middle name :). So I thought lets make some homemade rice crispy treats and tint them green for St.Patty's day.

Ingredients:3Tbsp butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
A few drops of green food coloring
6 cups of rice crispy cereal
Melting chocolate
Rainbow sprinkles

First we started my melting the butter and marshmallows on low heat.

A little marshmallows for the pan, a little marshmallows for Mr. Mr....finally we got them all in. Then we added the green food coloring.

He is such a good helper. He asked me the one day if I thought he would be a good baker when he grows up :). Sooo CUTE!

Once it is all combined remove it from the heat and add in the rice crispy cereal. I didn't have the official rice crispy cereal but I had puffed brown rice instead. Still worked great!

Sorry a little blurry... Action shot! Stir to combined everything then spread into a lined 13x9 pan. I used freezer paper and sprayed the paper with cooking spray. I also sprayed my spatula so I could spread it around evenly.

Let cool. Once cool we cut them into bars and dipped the corners in melted chocolate then decorated them with rainbow sprinkles. So festive. I hope the Leprechauns don't eat them! Had a blast in the kitchen with Mr. Mr. :)

Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Adventure #7

So today is not a destination adventure but more of an adventure with a product I have not used before.

My Adventure to Disco Dust Land and Beyond...

This stuff is edible and it makes every thing sparkle! I had a cake pop order for a girls cheerleading team called the Divas. So I went sparkle crazy. :)

 It was everywhere!!!

I don't know which one I like better. Pink or purple, both so "Diva-ish"

This stuff is awesome. I love how it gives that added pop and excitement to the dessert. Here is a picture of everything I worked on for the order. So much fun!

I hope your day shimmers...just like my fingers ;)







Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies with Whipped Chocolate Filling

Hello everyone! Another busy weekend in the books. I'm starting to second guess using Saturday in my blog name Haha. We are getting carpet tomorrow and we decided to rip out our old carpet and move all our furniture...ZzzzZzzz... Oh sorry I started dozing. Needless to say I am beat. Surprisingly enough after all that manual labor I was left with a sweet tooth. How does peanut butter cookies with a whipped chocolate ganache sound?

I had very limited ingredients, looks like I need to stock up on my sweet tooth supplies.

Ingredients:
1\2 cup peanut butter
1\2 sugar
1\2 of a beaten egg
Splash of vanilla extract

Ganache:
1\2 cup heavy whipping cream
1\2 a bag of chocolate chips
* bring cream to a boil and pour over chocolate. Stir to combine.

I blended all the ingredients together and used a 1\2Tbsp to measure out the cookies. Then rolled into balls and flattened with a fork to give the traditional hash markings.

 Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Cool completely. I placed my ganache in the freezer while the cookies baked. To make a whipped ganache you want it to be cold then you beat it with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

I then piped it on the cookie and sanwitched together.

This made 8 mini delicious cookies. I just love whipped chocolate ganache! So did some other people I know...the bowl was licked clean.

Happy Sweet Tooth Sunday!
