Chocolate Crinkles

Stunning beautiful cookies! It was the first time that I prepared crinkles and I’m really amazed from how easy and quick was this recipe ! The result cannot be beaten and really recommend to try this recipe. Imagine that the cookies could be frozen before baking and baked in small batches when needed. Note: if using a fan forced oven, like myself, I recommend to reduce the baking time to 11-13 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch process)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temp, 1 stick)
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Amaretto Apple Strudel with Phyllo

As I saw this recipe I found that would be something that we all would love and the preparation seemed to be quick for me. Usually I make strudel-dough myself and the phyllo variation would be a way to prepare it when I have less time and in a hurry.
I took my phyllo and I shocked seeing that the sheets were broken (probably to long in the freezer) and rolling it would have been a real challenge. At this moment I asked the help to my husband, I placed the broken phyllo sheets on a silicon mat. I covered a rectangular cake mold with aluminium foil and I greased it. I placed some on the sheets pieces in the mold with overlapping pieces.
Carefully we rolled the strudel using the mat and we transferred it into the mold with the additional sheets. we folded the borders of the sheet over the strudel and brushed the surface with a mixture of water and melted margarine.
Finally we removed the strudel from the mold and foil…..wow! The strudel had been saved and result amazing! So delicious with the amaretto addition!
Thanks a lot Nancy for this awesome recipe we enjoyed it very much with some vanilla ice cream as suggested!

Ingredients:

• 1/3 c raisins
• 3 Tbsp amaretto
• 3 c coarsely chopped and peeled granny smith apples (about 1 pound)
• 1/3 c sugar
• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 8 sheet(s) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
• butter cooking spray

Pineapple in Port With Fresh Chopped Mint

Super simply way to prepare pineapple (perfect to be prepared in advanced)! After marinating the pineapples chunks with port for a few hours I added the mint and enjoyed it!

The port gave special fine touch, not so much color as the quantity mentioned is not big but enough for the special taste and perhaps not a problems for children as well! If somebody needs more they can add it directly in their portion.

I’m glad I have enough mint form the garden, this is perfect combination with pineapple.

Ingredients:

1 large ripe pineapple, about 3 3/4 to 4 pounds

3 Tbsp fine ruby port

1/4 c freshly minced mint

Roasted Cherries

I’ve prepared this for myself as lunch and now I’m sad that all have gone: it was so gooood!
I will prepare this soon for my family and I know it will be a hit!
I halved the recipe and used some of the cherries I had in the freezer and used a small clay tin for roasting. The cherries were already pitted, but after the first 10 minutes I removed/drank the half quantity of liquid and added 2 tablespoons of brandy!
This recipe is excellent, all was perfect and the salt and especially pepper additions are a must!
I enjoyed this with a fresh made omelette! Wow! For a even more special dessert add to the filled omelette some vanilla ice cream. Thanks a lot for posting this wonderful recipe!

Ingredients:

• 24 large plump and very ripe cherries ( I used frozen ones)
• 2 tablespoons demerara sugar
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 few grinds of fresh cracked black pepper
• 1/4 cup cherry brandy
