Recipes Cookbook - Pumpkin Spice Truffles

Pumpkin Spice Truffles |#Falldesserts #Bakedpumpkindonutholes #Pumpkinspicebark #Pumpkindoughnutholes #Pumpkintruffleballs #Pumpkindesserts #Ricekrispietreatshalloween #Ricekrispietreatsfall #Dessertrecipes #Falldesserts #Deliciousdesserts #Pumpkindessert

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces (55g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 Tablespoons (15g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/3 cup (72g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 and 3/4 cups (175g) graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheet graham crackers)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice*
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces (113g) white chocolate, coarsely chopped and melted
  • Topping
  • 10 ounces (283g) semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • optional garnish: extra graham cracker crumbs or cinnamon/sugar

Instructions

  1. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy – about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin and beat on high until combined. Add the graham cracker crumbs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and melted chocolate. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until everything is combined. The mixture is supposed to be soft and thick. Cover mixture tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Chilling is mandatory.
  2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  3. Begin rolling chilled mixture into balls (about 1 teaspoon per ball) and place the balls on the baking sheets. You should have around 35 total. Chill balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  4. During the last few minutes of the chilling time, begin melting the chocolate. You can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. I like to use a liquid measuring cup. Its depth makes it easier for dipping the truffles. Melt in 30 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Let the warm chocolate sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool before dipping. Alternatively, you can temper the chocolate. If tempering, do not place or store truffles in the refrigerator.
  5. Remove balls from the refrigerator and dip them in the chocolate using a dipping tool. When lifting the truffle out of the chocolate, remember to tap the dipping tool gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Top truffles with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
  6. Place balls back onto the baking sheet after you dip each one. Allow chocolate to completely set in the refrigerator before serving. Truffles are OK at room temperature for a few hours for serving.

  • 1 ¼ lbs chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved (about 3 lbs.)
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts thinly sliced
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup Tessemae’s Mild Buffalo Sauce (or make our easy Homemade Buffalo Sauce)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup Tessemae’s Creamy Ranch Dressing or Homemade Paleo Ranch Dressing
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (omit for Whole30)






Instructions

  1. To roast the squash:
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Slice both ends from squash and discard.
  5. Stand squash up on one of it’s cut ends and use a large knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise.
  6. Scoop seeds and stringy insides out using a large spoon.
  7. Place squash cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until squash is tender. Baking time will depend on the size of your squash, larger squash requiring a longer cook time. When squash is tender, allow to cool slightly before using a fork to gently scrape the squash into a large bowl. Reserve the squash shells.
  9. While squash is roasting, cook the chicken.
  10. To cook the chicken:
  11. Directions for Instant Pot: Insert rack into inner pot. Add 1 cup water or broth. Lay chicken on rack. Secure lid and select ‘Poultry’ setting and increase time to 17 minutes (19 if the breasts are really thick). At the end of the cooking time, allow pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes then flip the vent valve and release the remaining pressure. Move chicken to a cutting board to cool slightly before shredding with two forks.
  12. Directions for Stovetop: Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. avocado or coconut oil and swirl pan to coat with the oil. Add chicken and ½ cup water. Once the water begins to simmer, reduce heat and cover. Cook chicken for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through. Move chicken to a cutting board to cool slightly before shredding with two forks.
  13. To assemble the stuffed squash:
  14. Place squash shreds, chicken, celery, onions, peppers and Buffalo sauce in a large bowl. Toss well to coat. Spoon squash mixture into the squash shells. Return the stuffed shells back to the baking sheet and place in 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
  15. Serve with Tessemae’s Creamy Ranch Dressing (for Whole30) or crumbled blue cheese, if desired.

Recipes Cookbook - Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe | #GlutenFree #Buttermilk #Biscuits #RecipeFood #Cookingrecipes #Biscuitbread #Quickbread #Breaddough #Breadrolls #Biscuitrolls #Foodswithgluten #Glutenfreecooking #Glutenfreebaking #Glutenfreebread #Glutenfreedairyfree #Glutenfreeeating #Foodswithgluten #Glutenfreecooking

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. coarse sea salt (OR 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt + 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt)
  • 1/4 cup powdered buttermilk OR powdered dairy or non-dairy milk NOT reconstituted (powdered Coconut Milk)
  • 4 Tbs. butter or non-dairy alternative – cut into small cubes and frozen or frozen and grated
  • 1/2 cup half and half OR liquid non-dairy creamer (So Delicious® Coconut Creamer) or non-dairy milk like almond, coconut or organic soy (depending on the viscosity of the milk you choose, you may need to add more — add more milk until the dough holds together without crumbling but isn’t wet and sticky)
  • 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar (if not using powdered buttermilk)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, dairy or soy OR plain coconut yogurt
  • milk (dairy or non-dairy) to brush on tops before baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F (static) or 350° F convection.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or in a food processor until you achieve the consistency of coarse meal — do not over-process.
  3. If not using powdered buttermilk, add apple cider vinegar to measured half and half /creamer/coconut milk. Add with sour cream to dry ingredient bowl and stir with a fork to combine. If the dough does not hold together once mixed, stir in your preferred milk, one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together and is not dry.
  4. Pat the dough onto a lightly floured (with gfJules Flour) counter or pastry mat, patting to an even 1 inch thick.
  5. Quick method:
  6. Dip a biscuit cutter into more gfJules Flour and push straight down to cut the biscuits; do not twist with the cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, gathering dough scraps together when necessary, and re-patting flat to cut more biscuits.
  7. Rough Pastry Method:
  8. Fold the pastry into thirds, as shown in the 4-square photo. Once folded, gently roll out again and fold again; then repeat the process once more, rolling to the thickness of the biscuits you prefer.
  9. Dip a biscuit cutter into more gfJules Flour and push straight down to cut the biscuits; do not twist with the cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, gathering dough scraps together when necessary, and re-patting flat to cut more biscuits.
  10. Transfer each cut biscuit to a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick the tops with a fork a few times. Brush each biscuit with egg wash or milk, and lay a thin pat of butter or dairy-free alternative on top, if desired, before baking.
  11. Bake for approximately 12-14 minutes (depending on thickness – may need to add time), or until the tops are lightly browned and the dough resists when pushed lightly with a finger. They should not be hard, so do not overcook!
  12. Yield: 6-9 biscuits (depending on size)
