  3. Dip each tortilla into heated sauce for a few seconds to soften.
  4. Spoon ⅓ cup of chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons sour cream down center for each tortilla (I usually put the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut the bottom tip which makes it easier to squirt right down the center)

  6. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour remaining heated enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese.

Recipes Cookbook - SHEET PAN ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH POTATOES

SHEET PAN ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH POTATOES |#SHEETPANROAST #PORK #TENDERLOIN WITH #POTATOES #Cheese #Chickenandcornrecipes #Crockpotchili #Chickencasserolerecipes #Cheesychickenandrice #Cheesycorncrockpot #Sheetpandinners #Porktenderloinrecipesinoven #Healthydinnerrecipes #Porkchoprecipes #Meatrecipes #Sheetpanporktenderloin


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless pork tenderloins
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 TB high quality balsamic vinegar
  • 2 heaping TB pure honey
  • 1 whole head garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves, minced
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch small pieces
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line a large baking pan with foil and generously grease foil. Use paper towels to pat-dry all excess moisture from the pork tenderloins; place tenderloins in center of greased-foiled pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to combine well to form the marinade. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade in separate small bowl. Add potatoes and carrots to the marinade in large bowl and toss to combine well.
  3. Evenly drizzle the reserved 1/3 cup marinade over the pork, ensuring all sides are coated. Place potato/carrot mixture evenly around the pork tenderloins, ensuring that all marinade is evenly dispersed.
  4. Roast in oven 45-50 min or until pork reaches internal temp of 145F when tested in its thickest center portion. If pork is done before veggies, carefully use tongs to transfer pork to a platter and keep warm at room temp for at least 5 to 10 minutes – do not slice or cut into it (pork’s temp will continue to rise during resting at room temp.) If potatoes/carrots need to cook longer, bump up the oven temp to 425F and continue roasting veggies until nicely browned and tender – check often for doneness.
  5. Once ready to serve, slice pork and drizzle with any pan sauces that remain. Serve with potatoes and carrots.

Recipes Cookbook - Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Frosting

Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Frosting | #Cupcakecakes #Cakedesserts #Dessertrecipes #Cakefrosting #Yummycakes #Eatcake #Pineapplefillingforcake #Strawberrymoussecakefilling #Chocolatecakestrawberryfilling #Cakefillingrecipeseasy #Cakefrosting #Cakedesserts


Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder , dutch process preferred
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk , room temperature
  • 1 cup very hot coffee , or boiling water
  • For the Raspberry Buttercream
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup unsalted butter , softened to room temperature
  • 3 and 1/2 to 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Make the Chocolate Cake
  2. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate large bowl using a stand or hand-held electric mixer, beat together the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla on medium speed until combined. Turn the mixer down to low speed and beat in the buttermilk, followed by the flour mixture. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Then with the mixer on low speed carefully beat in the hot coffee (or boiling water).
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool fully before frosting.
  5. Make the Raspberry Frosting
  6. Put the raspberries in a blender or food processor and process. Put the mixture through a strainer, using a spoon to push through the juice and discard the seeds. Doing this about 1/4 of the raspberries at a time will make the process easier.
  7. Pour the raspberry puree (without the seeds) into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat stirring frequently. Allow the mixture to boil and reduce in volume. You want to boil off as much of the water as possible so that you're left with a thick mixture. I boiled mine for about 10 minutes, at the end you'll know you're done when you have about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup in thick raspberry puree. Allow the raspberry puree to cool fully. It must be cold before moving on with the raspberry frosting.
  8. To make the raspberry frosting, in a large bowl using a stand or hand-held electric mixer beat the butter on medium speed until softened and fluffy. Then turn the mixer down to low speed and carefully beat in 3 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Once fully combined add in 1/4 cup of the cold raspberry puree. It must be cold before adding it to the frosting, otherwise your frosting will separate. Then beat in the raspberry puree, followed by the whipping cream 1 tablespoon at a time. Add in an additional 1/2 cup powdered sugar if the frosting is too thin.
  9. To frost the cake, I like to first put it in the freezer for 20 minutes. This helps to reduce cake crumbs from lifting into the icing. Then frost the cake using a flat edge knife. Cut and serve.

Recipes Cookbook - Coconut Cheesecake Bars

Coconut Cheesecake Bars | #7layerbars #Lemonbarsrecipe #Snickerdoodlecheesecakebars #Dessertrecipesvideos #Lemonsquares #Coconutcheesecakebars #Sweetrecipes #Dessertbars #Yummysweets #Cookingrecipes #Deliciousdesserts #Cheesecakerecipes








Ingredients

  • For the Graham Cracker Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Coconut Cheesecake Bars:
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs + 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (the thick variety!)
  • 1 and 1/4 cups finely shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • For the Coconut Mousse:
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut cream (the thick variety)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • toasted coconut, for garnish






Instructions

  1. For the Graham Cracker Crust:
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, allowing two of the sides to overlap (you want an overhang of at least 2-inches on two sides) and spray lightly with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter and, using a rubber spatula, mix well to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom - and slightly up the sides - of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake the crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and set aside on a cooling rack until needed.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees (F).
  6. For the Coconut Cheesecake Bars:
  7. In the body of a high power blender, food processor, stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand held electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until completely smooth.
  8. Add sugar and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Add in the eggs and yolks and beat until combined.
  9. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the coconut extract and coconut cream. Fold in the shredded coconut, mixing just until combined.
  10. Pour filling on top of prepared crust, and spread evenly.
  11. Check to ensure your oven has cooled to 325°F, then place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges have set and the middle is still a little jiggly. The cheesecake bars will firm up a lot as they cool.
  12. Remove the bars from the oven, and cool at room temperature for one hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  13. When you're ready to serve: use the foil overhang to lift the cheesecake bars from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Top with coconut cream, then, using a large, sharp knife, slice the slab into squares, wiping the knife clean with a damp cloth between slices. Serve at once.
  14. For the Coconut Mousse:
  15. Add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, coconut cream, and coconut extract to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  16. Set whipped cream aside. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until completely smooth.
  17. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese, stirring until well combined.
  18. Remove cheesecake from the pan, then top with the mousse.
  19. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve!
