Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake | #Cakeideas #Cookiesandcreamcake #Chocolatebirthdaycake #Chocolateoreocake #Cupcakecakes #Oreodessert #Chocolatecakewithpeanutbuttericing #Chocolatecakepeanutbutterfrosting #Moistchocolatecake #Chocolatepeanutbuttercakeeasy #Homemadechocolatepeanutbuttercake #Reesespeanutbuttercake

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Unsweetened Bakers Chocolate
  • 2-3 tbsp Peanut Butter
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tbsp erythritol
  • 5-7 liquid Liquid Stevia
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tsp Coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder

Instructions

  1. Optional Make Ahead: In our video we made a frozen peanut butter disc to optimize peanut butter to chocolate ratio and it's also perfectly melty when you cut into the cake. You can also choose to dollop in 2-3 tbsp of peanut butter right into the middle.**To increase sweetness you may want to add 5 drops of stevia to the peanut butter.
  2. Combine bakers chocolate and butter and melt in a microwave safe bowl in bursts of 30 seconds.
  3. Add cream, egg and stevia drops to the chocolate and butter mixture. Set aside.
  4. Combine all dry ingredients: erythritol, coco powder, coconut flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you get a smooth uniform thick batter.
  6. Pour half the batter into your greased ramekin or springform pan. We use a 4" springform pan for this.
  7. Place the peanut butter right in the center without allowing it to run to the edges.
  8. Pour the second half over the peanut butter.
  9. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 13-15 minutes.
  10. You'll know it's done when the edges have firmed and the center is still a little jiggly/not fully cooked seeming.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipes Cookbook - Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas

Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas | #Dessertrecipes #Sweetstreats #Deliciousdesserts #Yummyfood #Frozendesserts #Cookingrecipes #Frozenchocolatecoveredbananas #Chocolatedippedbananasfrozen #Monkeytailsbanana #Chocolatecoveredbananasrecipe #Frozenbananarecipes #Choccoveredbananas

 

Ingredients

  • 4 bananas, peeled and halved crosswise
  • 8 oz. favorite chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life)
  • chopped nuts (optional for topping)
  • shaved coconut (optional for topping)
  • peanut butter (optional for topping)
  • berries, diced (optional for topping)
  • seeds (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Insert a popsicle stick or cake pop stick into the cut sides of bananas. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  2. Melt chocolate in the bowl of a double boiler until smooth. Carefully transfer the melted chocolate into a drinking glass.
  3. Holding the stick, dip a banana into the melted chocolate to coat. Chocolate doesn't not need to go all the way to the end of the banana. While chocolate is still melty, sprinkle any toppings on top. If doing a peanut butter drizzle, dip a fork in the peanut butter and drizzle over the chocolate. Lay chocolate covered banana back onto the lined cookie sheet and continue with the other bananas. Enjoy right away or freeze for later.

Recipes Cookbook - Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons

Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons |#Sweetcreamcheesewontons #Creamcheesewontonrecipes #Peachmuffinseasy #Cookingrecipes #Wontonsoup #Sweetcreamcheesefilling #Chinesefoodrecipes #Creamcheesewontonrecipes #Sweetcrabrangoonrecipe #Sweetcreamcheesewontons #Creamcheeserangoon #Creamcheeseragoons

  Ingredients

  • US CUSTOMARY - METRIC
  • Wontons
  • 8 oz. softened cream cheese
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 12 oz. wonton wraps (packages usually in refrigerated produce section, near tofu)
  • 1 egg whisked with a splash of water
  • To Fry:
  • 48 oz. canola oil enough to fill a dutch oven or fryer with about 3 inches of oil.
  • To Bake:
  • Nonstick Cooking Spray

  Instructions

  1. Mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until well combined. (You can use a hand mixer or a silicone spatula for this.)
  2. Lay out about 4 wontons at a time and cover the remaining with a dish towel (they dry out quickly).
  3. Fill a small bowl with water and set near the wontons.
  4. Place about a ½ teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton.
  5. Dip your fingers into the whisked egg/water mixture (i.e. egg wash), and fold the wontons diagonally to form a triangle. Seal and ensure that there are no air bubbles.
  6. Dip your fingers back into the water. With the longest side of the triangle facing you, fold the left side to the right, and then fold the left side over it, to the right.
  7. Repeat until all wontons are filled and wrapped!
  8. To Fry:
  9. Deep fryers work great with these, however if you don't have one, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a dutch oven until it is just under 350 degrees. (I put my electric stove to just under the medium-high mark).
  10. You can use an extra wonton wrapper to test the temperature. Place it in the oil and ensure that it doesn’t cook too quickly or burn. Adjust the heat accordingly if needed.
  11. Fry 4-5 wontons at a time, each for about 45 seconds to a minute, (or until golden brown).
  12. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to cool.
  13. To Bake:
  14. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes. Heating the sheet will ensure that the wontons are nice and crisp on the bottom when they bake.
  15. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the wontons on top. Coat the wontons with a light layer of nonstick cooking spray.
  16. The wontons will need to bake for about 10-12 minutes, however it’s best to start checking on them after 5 minutes. Remove them from the oven when they are crisp and golden brown.

Recipes Cookbook - Best Cinnamon Rolls Recipe (Better than Cinnabon)!

Best Cinnamon Rolls Recipe (Better than Cinnabon)! | #CINNABON #CINNAMON #ROLLCAKE #Dessertrecipes #Cakedesserts #Cupcakecakes #Cakecookies #Cakefrosting #Deliciousdesserts #Dessertrecipes #Cupcakecakes #Cakedesserts #Cakecookies #Cakefrosting #Sweetrecipes



Ingredients

  • Cinnamon Roll Dough:
  • 1 cup milk warm (105 degrees F)
  • ½ cup + 1 TBS granulated sugar divided
  • 1 TBS Active dry yeast
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 6 TBS butter melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4 to 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 ½ TBS ground cinnamon
  • 6 TBS butter softened
  • Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

Make the Cinnamon Roll Dough:

  • Warm milk in the microwave milk for 45-60 seconds. It should be warm but not hot to the touch (about 105 degrees F).
  • Place milk into the bowl of your standing mixer, then add 1 TBS sugar and 1 TBS yeast to the warm milk. Stir and let it sit (proof) for five minutes or until it becomes foamy.
  • Add the ½ cup sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla to the mixture in the bowl of your standing mixer. Use a dough hook to stir until combined
  • Add 4 cups flour, salt and cinnamon and stir the dough hook, starting on low and increasing to high.
  • Knead dough in the standing mixer until a large ball is formed. The dough should be smooth and only slightly tacky to the touch. If the dough seems too sticky and is not forming a ball, add more flour 1 TBS at a time until a smooth ball is formed.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead with your hands until it is smooth and elastic (about 3-5 minutes). Form it into a ball.
  • Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside.
  • Cover the bowl with a warm, damp towel and put the bowl in a warm place to rise.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.

Make the filling:

  • While the dough is rising, make the filing. In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until mixture is homogenous (uniform throughout). Set aside.
  • Alternately, you can combine the cinnamon and sugar. Then melt the butter and brush it on the rolled dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on the butter-brushed dough. (I think this way is easier)!
  • Assemble Cinnamon Rolls
  • Sprinkle a large work surface with flour.
  • Gently press the gas out of the dough and form it into a rectangle.
  • Roll the dough into a 24x12” rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the filling all over the dough using greased hands or a greased spatula. This process can seem difficult but it gets easier as you spread it. (Alternately: if you only combined the cinnamon and sugar, then melt the butter and use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter all over the dough. Then sprinkle the dough with cinnamon sugar and pat it down gently to insure it sticks).
  • Roll up dough cut into 12 equal sized rolls (feel free to measure and cut each roll to be 2” long).
  • Line a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease. Then place rolls in 4 rows of three, evenly spaced.
  • Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Bake Cinnamon Rolls
  • Once rolls are doubled in size, bake them in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 18-20 minutes. They will rise more in the oven.

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Do NOT chill the frosting. Keep it at room temperature until the cinnamon rolls are baked.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls have bene removed from the oven, spread the cream cheese frosting on them while they are still warm.
  • Cool & Serve!
  • Let cool and serve warm.
