These little treats made our weekend very special. My cousins and their kids went to the house for a simple family gathering. We had a barbecue and burgers. We bonded and talked a lot. It was the perfect weekend. For dessert, we tried this one recipe we watched on TV that day. It was this Krispy Kreme Donuts. We decided to make it together with the kids. It was so fun. They were so excited by the idea of cooking. Aside from being easy to make, these little treats are very delicious. Well, the name speaks for itself, right? They taste like Krispy Kreme! Give it a try so you’d know what I’m talking about.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups scalded milk

1/2 cup butter

2/3 cup sugar, divided

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons yeast

4 eggs (beaten)

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

7 cups sifted flour

For the Glaze

3 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup cold water

How to make Krispy Kreme Donuts

Chef John’s Peach Pie

by Rebecca June 23, 2020
written by Rebecca

This might be one of the best Pies I have ever had! My friend hooked me up with this recipe a couple of weeks ago. At first, I was hesitant to make it because it was difficult to execute the procedures but when I tried it, it wasn’t difficult at all. You just need to follow it step by step and don’t skip. I hope you like it! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

3 pounds fresh freestone peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup white sugar, divided

1 tiny pinch salt

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 pinch ground cinnamon

1 pastry for a 10-inch double-crust pie

1 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into tiny pieces

1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or to taste

1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste

How to make Chef John’s Peach Pie

Ready the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and peaches. Stir until well-mixed and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. Strain the juice from the peaches. Set aside the juice and put the peaches back to the bowl.

Pour the juice into a saucepan and place it on the stove. Turn the heat to high until it boils. Turn the heat to medium and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce becomes thick and turns into syrup.

In a small bowl, add cornstarch, flour, and 1/2 cup sugar. Whisk until well-blended.

Add lemon juice, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper into the saucepan with the peaches then transfer the flour and whisk until fully coated.

Add in the peach syrup into the peach mixture. Stir until well-mixed.

Fit a 10-inch pie plate by rolling out half of the pastry. Put the crust on the bottom of the pie plate then transfer ours in the peach filling. Press down the pie plate against the surface for the fillings to set properly then top with butter.

Roll the other half of the crust into an 11-inch round shape and slice it into 1-inch strips. Use a pastry wheel or any kind of knife.

Arrange 5 pie crusts on top of the pie. Swerve the rest of the pastry dough strips to make a crisscross pattern on top.

Fold the edges of the crisscrossed strips on the bottom crust and compress.

Add cream on top. Use a brush to spread the cream then top with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Place in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it becomes bubbly and the color turns to brown. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Serve and Enjoy!

Perfect Pumpkin Pie

by Rebecca June 23, 2020
written by Rebecca

I remember this perfect Pumpkin Pie to be the highlight of every family gathering we had when I was a kid. My mom makes this whenever our relatives pay a visit. She always says that a great pie will make a family even tighter than ever. I didn’t get it when I was little but now, I understand that it is not just food, it is more than that, it is a tradition that you look forward to. That was kind of a long introduction, right? It’s just that I feel so excited and nostalgic sharing this with you today. Anyway, going back to the recipe itself, my favorite ingredient for this recipe is the ground ginger. I don’t know, for me, it’s kind of unusual to put ginger in a pie but it goes well with the rest of the ingredients. It gives a nice different flavor to it. I guess you just have to taste it yourself!

INGREDIENTS

1 (15 ounces) can pumpkin

1 (14 ounces) can EAGLE BRAND(R) Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 (9 inches) unbaked pie crust

How to make Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Step 1: Ready the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, add eggs, spices, salt, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until well-blended and the texture becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Transfer the mixture into the prepared crust.

Step 4: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 5: After 15 minutes, turn the heat down to 350 degrees F then bake for another 35 to 40 minutes in until a bread knife comes out clean after inserting into the middle part of the pie.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and let it sit on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Step 6: Garnish with anything you prefer. Serve and enjoy!

Note: Do not forget to put the leftovers in the fridge.

Grandma’s Heavenly Divinity

by Rebecca June 23, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is the most treasured recipe of my beloved Grandmother. What a sweet and nice lady she was. This is a masterpiece, a perfect Divinity recipe that has been passed around my family for ages. This is too great not share. One important thing though that you guys should remember is that these candies are best made on those days that the humidity is low to no humidity. This recipe is straight from my Grandma’s cookbook. A book which she passed on to my mother, and now to me. To tell you the truth, this is just one of the many recipes she wrote on her treasure book. Whenever I make my Grandma’s Heavenly Divinity I remembered her. How she worked her magic in the kitchen. She was one of a kind, my idol, and my inspiration. This will always have a special in my heart. This Divinity is pure heaven; fluffy, with a cloud-like meringue texture, with some bits of nuts or cherries. A sugary treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 egg whites

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2 cup cherries (optional)

How to make Grandma’s Heavenly Divinity

Step 1: Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan.

Step 2: Cook in 260 degrees to the hardball stage while stirring until sugar dissolved.

Step 3: Meanwhile, beat the white of the eggs until stiff peaks form.

Step 4: When the temperature of the syrup reached 260 degrees, slowly add in the egg whites while beating with an electric mixer at high speed.

Step 5: Stir in the vanilla for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the candy holds its shape.

Step 6: Mix in some chopped nuts or cherries if desired.

Step 7: Then, immediately drop a teaspoon of the candy onto waxed papers and swirl the top.

Pistachio Fluff Dessert

by Rebecca June 20, 2020
written by Rebecca

My go-to dessert. I love how simple this Pistachio Fluff is to make, a dump-and-go classic that is incredibly delicious and easy to prepare. I would recommend toasting the walnuts though for a couple of minutes for that added flavor. Trust me this will change everything! Then, dump all the ingredients in a bowl and fold. Pop inside the fridge to chill for an hour or two and you are ready to serve. Easy, right? Everyone wants easy, especially when you end up with a satisfying and deliciously sweet fluff desert. Bonus if you love Pistacho so much just like me.

Ever since I was told that being cheap is not a bad thing. Growing up I realized that it is true. Just like this Pistachio Fluff, it is not only simple to make but it is cost-efficient. Nothing fancy, just a simple, fast, sweet, and satisfying dessert that is amazingly delicious. It is great to bring to any party, potluck, or serve on holidays. It brings memories of my childhood, too. It is my favorite ever since I was young and I am happy that my kids love this fluff as well.

INGREDIENTS

2 packages instant pistachio pudding mix

16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed

20 ounces canned crushed pineapple, with juices

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

How to make Pistachio Fluff Dessert

Step 1: Prepare the oven and heat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Place the walnuts inside the oven and toast them for about 5 to 10 minutes to get that extra flavor. Although, this step is optional.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix and pineapple.

Step 4: Stir in the marshmallows with the walnuts until incorporated.

Step 5: And fold in the whipped topping until fully coated.

Step 6: Place inside the fridge to chill for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving, covered.
