TWD: White Chocolate Brownies

Posted by C. A. - Categoriezed under: TWD

This week’s TWD assignment is White Chocolate Brownies selected by Marthe of Culinary Delights.  Before going any further I feel a need to point out that the term “white chocolate” is a bit of a misnomer – it isn’t chocolate at all, as it contains no chocolate liquor.

That being the case, I simply could not make this recipe as it was written…

TWD: Cherry Fudge Brownie Torte

Posted by C. A. - Categoriezed under: TWD

This week’s TWD hostess is April of  Short + Rose and she chose the Cherry Fudge Brownie Torte.  Unlike our lovely hostess I really prefer not to sully my chocolate with cherries (or any other kind of fruit for that matter).

After reading the recipe I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to attempt this one or not – it was a more complicated and time consuming recipe which I wasn’t certain the little prince would give me the opportunity to complete and I wouldn’t even get to enjoy the fruits of my labor.  But “Prince Charming” was very supportive and nearly insisted that I should get back on my TWD wagon…of course he absolutely loves cherries and chocolate so I think his motives may have been somewhat suspect!

TWD: Vanilla Ice Cream

Tuesday keeps coming around so quickly and I always seem to be posting at the last minute but at least I was able to participate this week.

This week’s TWD assignment was selected by Lynne of Cafe LynnyLu.  She chose Vanilla Ice Cream from pages 428-429 in Dorie’s book.  I’m not certain if I’ve mentioned it before, but ice cream is one of my favorite desserts, if not my very favorite.  At any given time I probably have at least a half dozen different flavors gracing my freezer and I generally have some amount of ice cream as part of my dessert every night.  While vanilla is rarely (if ever) my first choice in flavors, I knew I had to participate this week.
