Cannoli Pancakes

by Rebecca May 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

I already tried different kinds of pancakes because my daughter loves them so much! It is her favorite breakfast, sometimes lunch or dinner. I know, she’s crazy about pancakes! That’s why I’m so thrilled and excited when I stumbled upon this gorgeously delicious Cannoli Pancakes. This is my daughter’s new favorite, she likes it with whip cream and some mini chocolate chips (sometimes she asks me to slice some strawberries, too and she’ll stuff them in the cannoli pancakes!). It is pretty easy to make, and I am sure your family will love it too! So the next time you’re making pancakes for breakfast, try this recipe, trust me, your kids will ask for this every day! Anyway, I’m off now, I need to wake up early to prepare and cook this for my kid again tomorrow. I promise her that I’ll be making extra because her friends are coming over for breakfast and she’s super excited!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups heavy cream

1/3 cup powdered sugar, plus more for garnish

1 teaspoon cinnamon

pinch of nutmeg

1 cup ricotta

2 cups mini chocolate chips, divided, plus more for topping

1  box Bisquick, plus ingredients called for on the box

1 tablespoon of butter

1/4 cup of Powdered sugar, for dusting

whipped cream, for garnish

HOW TO MAKE CANNOLI PANCAKES

Step 1: Place the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in the ricotta and one cup of chocolate chips then set aside.

Step 2: Make the pancakes following the directions written on the package and add the remaining chocolate chips.

Step 3: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Make large pancakes, stuff them with about 1/2 cup of the ricotta mixture. And fold in half (it should look like a taco).

Step 4: Garnish your pancakes with powdered sugar, whipped cream, and mini chocolate chips (more of this if you prefer). Serve and enjoy!

Now, this recipe will not only make you feel good about yourself because you made something from scratch but it is also a way of being productive in times like this. Oh yeah, you read the title right. It only involves 5 basic ingredients. I didn’t know that it only takes 5 ingredients to make the perfect tortilla.

Give this one a try and invite your friends over after this pandemic. Maybe open some beers, talk about happy times. Ahh, it’s gonna be awesome!

Have fun with this recipe and stay safe!

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/3 cup canola oil or Crisco or butter (Crisco works best)

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of the stand mixer. While the stand mixer is up and running, add in the water and oil. Mix it for 2-3 minutes until you achieve a smooth dough.

Place the dough into a cutting board. (Pour flour to the board to avoid the dough from sticking.) Divide into 16 equal pieces.

Death By Chocolate Cheesecake

by Rebecca May 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

This recipe is a hit! I get to make this twice in a week because my kids love and crave for it always! It’s so satisfyingly delicious, you would want more!

INGREDIENTS

COOKIE CRUST

24 whole Oreo cookies

6 tablespoons of melted butter

Pinch of kosher salt

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

4 (8-oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

4 large eggs

9 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped and melted

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

1 1/2 cup of chocolate chips

3/4 cup heavy cream

Chocolate shavings, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Ready the oven. Preheat to 350 degrees and place an oven rack in the middle of the oven.

To make the crust. Place the Oreos inside a large Ziploc bag. Crush them until it forms a fine crumb (you can use a food processor with a metal blade, too). Transfer the Oreo crumbs into a bowl, pour the melted butter, and add salt. Stir until crumbs are moist and coated completely.

For the cheesecake. Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to beat the cream cheese, sugars, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, make sure to beat in between each addition. Then, fold in the melted chocolate.

Grease a 9-inch springform pan with a  cooking spray. Pour and press the Oreo mixture in the pan and press 1/3 of the way up the sides, make sure it is tightly packed. Now, pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust.

Bake the cheesecake for an hour and 15 minutes or until only somewhat jiggly in the center. You can use a water bath to make sure the top of the cheesecake does not crack, just wrap the outside o the pan with aluminum foil before putting it in the baking dish. Place on the oven rack, then pour enough boiling water reaching half of the pan. And follow baking instruction. (If you use a water bath, make sure to remove the foil before putting inside the fridge until completely chilled, around 4 hours or overnight.)

To make the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. Set aside. In a small saucepan, place the heavy cream and heat over medium heat. Turn off the heat once bubbles begin to appear around the edge of the pan. Carefully pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, constantly whisking until the sauce is smooth.

Now pour the ganache over the top of the cake. Decorate with chocolate shavings, then refrigerate for another 10 minutes to let the ganache set.

Old Fashioned Baklava

by Rebecca May 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Thank you, Greece for this amazing Balaklava recipe! Ever since I tasted this amazingly delicious dessert, I said, I needed to know how to make it. Good thing I went to Greece last year and talked to some pastry chefs and asked for this recipe. Try this out! Another good thing about this is the filo dough. You can buy this at any department store in your area. It is not hard to find.

I usually let it sit overnight at room temperature so the honey can soften the layers. You would have that incredible texture to it. Oh man, looking at this picture just makes me want to bake it again! Let’s do it together! Have fun baking!

Ingredients

1 (16 oz.) package filo pastry dough, thawed

13 tbsp. melted unsalted butter, divided

4 cups walnuts, chopped finely

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup white sugar

2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup pure honey

How to make Old Fashioned Baklava

Cut the filo pastry to 13 x 9 inches. Then, cover with a damp towel.

Grease with 1tbsp. melted butter the 13×9 inch baking dish. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sugar, water, and hone. Turn the heat to medium-high and let it boil. Continue stirring for the sugar to be dissolved.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 4 minutes. Don’t stir.

Move the pan away from the heat and let it cool.

Ready the oven. preheat to 325 degrees F.

Put the walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped.

In a medium bowl, add cinnamon and chopped walnuts then stir.

Place 10 filo sheets into the baking dish. (Lay one filo at a time.) Brush melted butter in between the layers of the sheets. Sprinkle about 3/4 cup of the walnut and cinnamon mixture on top of the dough. (Make sure to spread it to even layer.)

Place 5 sheets of filo dough on top of the walnut and cinnamon mixture. Brush in between layers with melted butter then sprinkles with 3/4 cup of the walnut and cinnamon mixture.

Do this procedure repeatedly until the walnut and cinnamon mixture is all used up. Lay 10 sheets of buttered filo dough on top.

Brush the top layer with melted butter. Slice into 1 1/2 inch strips. Slice diagonally to form a diamond-shaped look.

Bake in the oven for 1hr and 25 minutes uncovered or until the color turns golden.

Drizzle the top layer evenly with cooled honey syrup right after you remove it from the oven.

Let it cool before serving. Enjoy!

Blueberry Upside Down Cake

by Rebecca May 4, 2020
written by Rebecca

Oh, blueberries! They’re gorgeous and delicious. I used to eat them as is but learned that they’re perfect to incorporate as well in a variety of recipes. Just like blueberry soda (which is super delish), or this Blueberry Upside Down Cake. I love all sorts of cake but this one is my favorite. The berries are cook in the bottom of the cake pan, then flipped over to cover the cake in a thick topping of caramelized blueberries. A deliciously rich cake soaked in blueberries! I can never ask for any better cake than this. And it is very easy to make.

Ingredients

1/3 c brown sugar

2 Tbsp. butter

1 1/2 c blueberries

2 eggs, separated into whites and yolks

3/4 c sugar

1/2 c butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 c flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 c milk

How to make Blueberry Upside Down Cake

Step 1: Ready the oven. Preheat to 350 degrees.

Step 2: To make the topping. In a small saucepan, cook the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and sugar is dissolved.

Step 3: Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Pour the sugar and butter mixture, make sure to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4: In a single layer, top the sugar and butter mixture with fresh blueberries.

Step 5: You have to separate the egg whites and yolk. Place egg whites in a bowl, and beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside for later use.

Step 6: In a separate bowl, cream the sugar and 1/2 cup of butter. Add the egg yolks and beat well. Mix the vanilla.

Step 7: Combine the flour with the baking soda, add salt, and mix well.

Step 8: Alternately add the flour and milk to the batter.

Step 9: Now, fold the egg whites into the batter.

Step 10: Slowly pour the batter into the cake pan and spread evenly. The batter will be very thick (which is what you want), compared to a regular cake batter.

Step 11: Place in the oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the center of the cake is cooked.

Step 12: Remove from the oven. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Once cooled, flip the cake upside down onto the serving platter. Don’t remove the cake pan just yet for another 5-10 minutes to let the blueberries soak in.

Step 3: Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Pour the sugar and butter mixture, make sure to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4: In a single layer, top the sugar and butter mixture with fresh blueberries.

Step 5: You have to separate the egg whites and yolk. Place egg whites in a bowl, and beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside for later use.

Step 6: In a separate bowl, cream the sugar and 1/2 cup of butter. Add the egg yolks and beat well. Mix the vanilla.

Step 7: Combine the flour with the baking soda, add salt, and mix well.

Step 8: Alternately add the flour and milk to the batter.

Step 9: Now, fold the egg whites into the batter.

Step 10: Slowly pour the batter into the cake pan and spread evenly. The batter will be very thick (which is what you want), compared to a regular cake batter.

Step 11: Place in the oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the center of the cake is cooked.

Step 12: Remove from the oven. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Once cooled, flip the cake upside down onto the serving platter. Don't remove the cake pan just yet for another 5-10 minutes to let the blueberries soak in.
