Baked Sunday Mornings…Belated: Simple Chocolate Whiskey Tart with Whiskey Whipped Cream (or à la mode)
The timing of this particular whiskey-laced recipe could not have been better– I needed it! This was actually made a couple months back for Baked Sunday Mornings, but I haven’t been able to finish the blog post due to moving and wedding planning madness. But actually, posting on St. Patrick’s Day is rather apropos, what […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Classic Crème Brûlée with Caramelized Brown Sugar
It has been quite a while since I’ve been able to participate in my bi-weekly Baked Sunday Mornings blogs due to my recent move and wedding planning, and it feels so goooood to be back! Truth: I was not that excited about this recipe. When I look at a dessert menu and see crème brûlée listed, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Velvet Walnut Fudge with Olive Oil & Fleur de Sel
I never thought I’d find myself asking, “Do you want your fudge with or without olive oil?” Yet, any time I eat or serve fudge in the future, it is a question that I will surely be asking. It seems like an odd addition at first, but once you try it, you will wonder how you […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Antique Caramel Cake
Good gracious, I’ve been waiting patiently like a good little girl for this one. Caramel, especially of the salted persuasion, is one of the great pleasures of my life. I’ve not been shy about my love affair with chocolate on this blog, but if I’m honest… caramel is a pretty close second. (If you combine […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Good Morning Sunshine Bars
People, if you don’t already know, it’s a good thing you’re reading this: CEREAL IS NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST. You’re welcome. The pinnacle of cereal-based delights, Rice Krispie Treats, was certainly the first such phenomenon of this nature that I’d ever had as a child, and it’s always held a special place in my heart. […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Devil Dogs with Malted Buttercream Filling
I had such a sheltered childhood. As an immigrant child, I did not experience some of the classic American treats that most of my peers knew and loved. Things like peanut butter and jelly and milkshakes were foreign to me, and I stayed wary and suspicious of these unfamiliar delicacies until I grew old enough […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
I rarely crave pumpkin out of season; although I quite like it, it’s not generally one of my overarching favorite flavors per se– it does not keep me up at night with recipe ideas or stark, raving mad obsession like chocolate or caramel. (That’s normal, right?!) However, almost like clockwork, on the Autumnal Equinox, all […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles
I chuckle when I think back to the first time that I made brown butter, and I noticed little dark bits in my pool of melted butter. At first I thought something had fallen into my pan, so I tried to pick it out with a spatula. But more and more bits formed, and I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Orange Almond Ricotta Cheesecake
I almost threw it away. I almost threw it away. I was going to write a sob story about how I ruined my cheesecake and wasted $24 worth of fresh ricotta cheese… but then it rocked my world. I thought I would have to re-bake my second cake in a row– I hope these things […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Mile-High Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream
By definition, a recipe with the words ‘mile-high’ and ‘chocolate’ in the title really couldn’t be anything but mind-blowing; at the very least, it certainly got my attention. I had been really looking forward to the Mile-High Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream from Baked Elements on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule for some time, and […]
