Baked Sunday Mornings: Dark Chocolate Ice Cream (with Bourbon Caramel & Pretzels)
I think I can safely say that the Great Chocolate Drought of 2017-18 is now over. I went an embarrassing amount of time without regularly posting recipes that toiled in the depths of deep, dark, decadent chocolate. And I genuinely felt like something was missing in my life. But the past few weeks have seen […]
Next-Level Matzah Buttercrunch, Vol. 1
Okay, it’s Day 8 of Passover, and I’m guessing that you are tired of gnawing on bland cardboard at this point. Even dressing it up with pizza sauce and mozzarella is getting a little tired, yeah? I’ll tell you what NEVER gets tired: matzah slathered with caramel and chocolate. I cannot think of a better […]
Double Chocolate Irish Cream Babka
If I was in charge of March, I would decree that St. Patrick’s Day dinners should be heartily enjoyed all month long. This Irish affair would flow with corned beef, colcannon, boxty, shepherd’s pie, and god I would have Irish breakfast every single day. And of course what would follow all of these fine Irish […]
Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cake
If you know anything about Passover desserts, you know that they can be a challenge and we often have to compromise to uphold the rules of being Kosher For Passover. So imagine my delight when I came across an amazing (and beautiful) dessert last year from Bon Appétit that yielded a flourless chocolate cake so decadent and […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: BAKED Bars… with Double Halva
Seven-layer bars. Magic bars. Kitchen-sink bars. In other words, bars in which you can toss whatever delicious, sweet trinkets are in your pantry– basically we can’t go wrong here. Besides their incredible layer cakes, probably my favorite items at BAKED in New York City/Brooklyn are their bars. They make incredible PB&J Bars, Caramel Coconut Bars, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Maple Walnut Scones
I need a Scone Support Hotline. I love making, baking, smelling, holding, and eating scones– every possible sensory experience that can be had with scones, I want to have it. But for some reason, when I make them, they look like ugly lumps. Instead of prim little triangles, they just flop over into shapeless hunks […]
Salted Cookies & Cream Rice Crispy Treats
I heard it was National Oreo Cookie Day. On March 6th, I shall henceforth rejoice in the name of Nabisco’s magical midnight-hued cookies, which I’ve mentioned on a number of occasions that I *adore*. I typically don’t pay a lot of attention to these food-themed days, or more precisely, I don’t usually know about them […]
Pop Tart Hamantashen
My whole life, I’ve more or less been a creature of habit when it comes to hamantashen. I grew up eating apricot-filled ones, which I will happily gobble up to this day, but poppyseed… nope, no thank you, blech. Also, if you throw in a chocolate-filled one, I’m definitely in, no questions asked. Other jams, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Vanilla Bean Coconut Marshmallows
Welcome to the latest edition of #thanksBAKED. As has happened more times than I can count since joining Baked Sunday Mornings 5+ years ago, my experience with various baked goods has been totally altered by baking our group’s assigned recipe. This week we made Vanilla Marshmallows, which I turned into Vanilla Bean Coconut Marshmallows because sometimes […]
Black Sesame Coconut Babka
So far in 2018, I’ve been babka-ing hard. Ever since I made Chocolate-Halva Babka at the end of last year, I have been hitting the babka dough every chance I get, which is still not as often as I’d like, considering that it’s a 2-day process and as a blogger, I also have to take natural […]
