GeorgiaChristmas Eve sitting in church. My mind wandered (as it often does). All over the world millions of people gathered to celebrate the birth of the new born King. We are not alone in our praise to the greatest gift that was ever given to mankind. Christmas day we celebrated (for the first time since we've been together) with family. This Christmas was especially blessed for me. Red Velvet Oreo Truffles I used red velvet oreos (yes they are a thing). 36 cookies.. Separate the cookies from the white center. Crush the cookies (I used a food processor) Crush until fine.. The recipe calls for adding cream cheese to the crushed cookies but since I used the red velvet oreos and their middles were like a cream cheese frosting I used it along with some cream cheese. (sorry I didn't measure, I just blended until the consistency allowed me to form little balls). Place in freezer for no less than 20 minutes.. I kept mine in a little bit longer.. Before pulling your little oreo balls out of the freezer melt white chocolate (I used the white chocolate candy melts, they are perfect for this) I put toothpicks in the oreo balls before freezing them.. It made dipping them into the white chocolate so much easier. Dip oreo balls in melted white chocolate.. If you want to decorate after dipping do it pretty quickly because the chocolate will harden and decorating will not be easy.. Let chocolate harden and you are good to go. There are oh so many things you can do with these.. I've seen where people have used just plain oreos.. Added a little peppermint flavor to the cream cheese and sprinkled with crushed peppermints.. If I were to make them again I think I would make them smaller.. Nutella Fudge Ingredients
Make sure not to add too much Nutella, it should be just 1/2 cup. Do not scrape the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk, doing this adds just slightly too much liquid and makes it harder for the fudge to set. AmyThis is a recipe that is very hard to mess up. You don't even have to knead it! And Trixie loves it. Easy No-Knead Sweetbread Ingredients
Easiest Ever Pastry Dough Rustic Sour Cream and Cheddar Mashed Potatoes Nikita Ok ladies....I cheated. This is an Angel Berry Trifle made with Angel Food Cake, but I did NOT make the cake. I do know you need a special pan to make Angel Food Cake because when it is done cooking in the oven, your supposed to flip it over and let it rest and stretch. I watched an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown, my fave. Nevertheless, this trifle was amazing! Not too sweet but very light. I brought it to a friend's home for a dinner party. She made us an entire Filipino spread and by the time we were done eating dinner, we needed a LIGHT dessert. Give it a try! Love, 99 Recipe:
