HEALTHY PUMPKIN PIE BARS
April 29, 2020

HEALTHY PUMPKIN PIE BARS

INGREDIENTS:

CRUST

  • 1.5 cups almond flour, superfine
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

FILLING

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lay parchment paper in the bottom of an 8×8-inch cake pan. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the crust by mixing together all crust ingredients, forming a ball. Transfer dough into the greased pan and use your hands and/or a spatula to spread dough to the edges of the pan. The key is to make sure the crust is relatively the same thickness all around, so the spatula comes in handy especially for the edges.
  3. Place crust in the oven at 350ºF and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. While crust is baking, make the filling. Add coconut sugar and pumpkin puree to a large bowl. Mix until combined. Slowly add eggs to the pumpkin mixture. Then add the rest of the filling ingredients and mix well.
  5. Remove crust from the oven and carefully pour pumpkin mixture over the crust. Place pan back into the oven and bake at 350ºF for 24-28 minutes*.
  6. Let pumpkin bars cool for at least an hour. When you are ready to remove bars from the cake pan, simply lift the parchment paper up out of the pan. The bars should easily come out of the pan. Place bars on a cutting board and cut into 9 squares.
  7. For the whipped topping, add whipped cream ingredients to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk ingredients on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  8. Add a healthy dollop of whipped cream onto each bar when ready to serve.

Mississippi Mud Cake
April 23, 2020

Mississippi Mud Cake

Ingredients:

CAKE

  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup (6 oz.) unsalted butter
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (10-oz.) package mini marshmallows

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

  • 1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 (16-oz.) package powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make It

Step 1

Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 325˚F. Grease a metal 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place butter and chocolate in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH, stirring every 30 seconds until melted, about 1 minute 30 seconds total. Whisk together sugar, eggs, and melted chocolate mixture in a medium bowl. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into melted chocolate mixture. Fold in pecans and vanilla.

Step 2

Spoon batter into prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, 20 to 21 minutes. Remove cake from oven, and cover top with marshmallows in an even layer. Bake at 325°F until marshmallows are just soft, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

While cake is baking, prepare the Chocolate Frosting: Heat butter, milk, and cocoa in a medium saucepan over medium until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring mixture to a boil. Boil 1 minute, and then remove from heat. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla. Immediately drizzle cake with Chocolate Frosting. Let Frosting harden about 2 hours before cutting cake into squares.

Unicorn Rice Krispies Treats
April 13, 2020

Unicorn Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (about 160 grams)
  • 1 stick/4 ounces unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces marshmallows
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 6 ounces white chocolate (melting wafers)
  • Food coloring
  • Sprinkles

Steps to Make It:

  1. Gather the ingredients. Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add the cereal to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  4. When the butter has entirely melted and the foam subsides, remove from heat. Add the marshmallows. Stir the mixture until melted. If you need a little extra heat, go ahead and put the pot back on over a low flame until the marshmallows have fully melted.
  5. Add the marshmallow to the cereal and sprinkle the sea salt on top. Fold the melted marshmallow and cereal together to incorporate, then press the mixture into the prepared pan.
  6. Melt the white chocolate pieces according to the instructions on the bag.
  7. Divide the melted chocolate into small bowls (one bowl for each color in your palate) and add food coloring as desired. Be sure to use very very small amounts of food coloring. You can always add more for a darker color.
  8. Frost the Rice Krispie treats with the tinted white chocolate. Add globs of each color and carefully swirl. Avoid over-mixing to keep the colors distinct. Drizzle more of various colors on top if desired. Decorate with sprinkles and/or colored chocolate.
  9. Let cool until firm. Remove the treats from the pan and cut into squares of your preferred size. Serve immediately.
