CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MOUSSE CAKE

Pumpkin shmumpkin. You have  months  left to enjoy pumpkin desserts! Let’s forgo the gourd for a minute, change it up a little, and say goodbye to the last of the berries with this stunning Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake. I don’t go around calling things “food porn” on a regular basis, so instead, can we just agree that this cake is, for lack of a better term, a  sexy beast ? It has a moist, fudgy brownie base, three layers of light mousse—chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla, and then a glossy topping of chocolate and a tangle of raspberries and chocolate curls on top.  Oh, behave ! I was so obsessed with the honey mousse I made for these  Honey Pots with Honey Mousse , I couldn’t stop thinking of ways to use that quick and easy mousse in other recipes. It turns out it’s easy to adapt that mousse for other flavors, so I made a few tweaks and soon found myself with chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla bean variations. You’ll love it—no separating eggs, no whipping whites or yol

Homemade Toaster Strudels

Share on Pinterest A while ago I posted a recipe for  Homemade Pop Tarts  and I knew it wouldn’t end there. I love making homemade versions of store bought childhood favorites because they are so much better! These Homemade Toaster Strudels are no exception! Really these are  semi -homemade, unless you want to be really legit and make your puff pastry from scratch. But to be honest I’ve actually never made homemade puff pastry because I’ve heard it’s such a tedious process so I just go with the stuff in the freezer isle, and if you really want to splurge go with the butter puff pastry vs. the vegetable shortening. My kids and I were completely in love with these delicious breakfast treats! They put the boxed kind to shame. And I may have spotted my husband squeezing the icing straight into his mouth, that little touch of butter and almond extract makes it just that good. These are a simple pastry to make since they begin with a store-bought puff pastry, and I also used a sto

Fool Proof Pie Crust

This Fool Proof Pie Crust is seriously so easy, moist and delicious!  Step by step photo tutorial! True confession:  I don’t like pie crust. Don’t tell anyone.  And don’t throw things at me. I just feel like . . . okay, I just feel like it’s not that delicious, and compared to the fillings of the pie, it’s just not worth it.  I mean, my desserts need to be worth it. I think the root of the problem is that made from scratch crusts are best, they are tricky, and therefore I don’t make them. However!!  I just recently tried America’s Test Kitchen’s Fool Proof Pie Crust, and OMG. Let’s talk about why it’s so good.  First, there is a little bit of sugar in there which really adds something for me.  Second, it comes together so easily.  Like it makes me feel like maybe I should have been a pastry chef.  It’s  that  convincing of a pie crust.  Finally, it’s delicious.  I made an amazing pie in it that I’m going to share with you later this week, and I totally ate every last bit o
