A Tasty Recipe: My Granny's Chocolate Cobbler

A Tasty Recipe: My Granny's Chocolate Cobbler
This week, Ree’s in Orlando, ditching the boots for a pair of flip flops. Right now, she’s either lost in Wally World, hiding in the bathroom, or clutching the bars of some insane ride and crying for her mommy. So we have another special guest filling in for this week’s Tasty Recipe post! When I was invited to guest post here I was filled with glee and honored to have been asked to fulfill such a task. So when I saw this recipe, My Granny’s Chocolate Cobbler submitted by Tasty Kitchen member Susan Hawkins, I knew I had to give it a try. This cobbler reminds of a Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, like the one Ree once shared. The ingredients are simple. Begin with the flour in a mixing bowl. Next add the baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa powder and 3/4 of the sugar. Side note here: I used dark cocoa powder for this recipe, which can be found in most local groceries. Okay, back to the recipe. Next add the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract. Combine well. Again, don’t stir. Related:  Chocolate!Other Desserts

Salted Caramel Guinness Brownies Salted Caramel Guinness Brownies These rich fudgy salted caramel Guinness brownies are topped with Jameson whipped cream and a sweet Jameson caramel. Last night I spent my night virtually watching the Oscars with Gina via Facebook. Lets talk about the Oscar dresses for a second. Luckily for you I didn’t spend the whole night watching TV. I made these brownies a few weeks ago and have been dreaming about them ever since. . These brownies are super fudgy and have a very intense chocolate flavor. I should tell you that I’m going to be slightly mean and not give you the Irish whiskey caramel sauce recipe until Friday.

Individual Blueberry Grunts Yeah, I’d never heard of a blueberry grunt, either. Until I became friends with Sandy. Every since we became friends, I couldn’t use the word “blueberry” without her saying “Mmmm, blueberry grunt…” eyes half-closed and smiling. I knew it was one of her favorite desserts, but I couldn’t bring myself to make something called a grunt. Until, that is, I had four cups freshly picked blueberries. A grunt is in the cobbler family, and it’s a traditional East Coast maritime dessert. Blueberry is a popular flavor for grunts, but I imagine you can use pretty much any berry or fruit. Recipes for grunts are all pretty standard, I adapted and veganized this simple recipe. Blueberry Grunts Makes four individual grunts, or one large Blueberry Filling Four Cups Fresh Blueberries (or frozen) 3/4 Cup Sugar 1 Tbs Lemon Juice 1/2 Cup Water 1/2 tsp Each Cinnamon and Nutmeg, optional (I left them out) Add all of the ingredients for the blueberry filling into a large skillet.

Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe Print Our tour of Brazil continues. After posting the moqueca recipe, several of you asked if I had a recipe for Pão de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread, sort of like a chewy cheese puff made with tapioca flour. As a matter of fact, I do. I’ve made it several times, each time with different cheeses. There are several ways to make Pão de Queijo. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make a big batch of batter and just store it in the refrigerator (for up to a week), pouring out just as many mini-muffins as you want to eat. The only weird ingredient is tapioca flour. The recipe as presented is fairly basic. Ingredients 1 egg*1/3 cup olive oil2/3 cup milk1 1/2 cups (170 grams) tapioca flour1/2 cup (packed, about 66 grams) grated cheese, your preference, we get good results with feta cheese (no need to grate), or fresh farmer's cheese (if using fresh farmer's cheese, you may want to add another 1/2 teaspoon of salt)1 teaspoon of salt (or more to taste) Special equipment recommended:

Cheesecake Bars I was in the mood for something cold and lip-smackingly sweet. Something I could sink my teeth into. Something to maintain my weight. So I made this treat with a few of my favorite things. Cheesecake. Chocolate. and these cookies. If you ever fly Delta, then you’ve probably had them before. They’re a crunchy, no-frills, sans chocolate type of cookie. So I thought they would be great to use for the cheesecake crust. Throw the cookies into a food processor and chop them up into beautiful golden brown cookie powder. About 1 1/2 cups worth. Then add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Don’t you love how packed brown sugar looks? To make the crust, mix the cookie crumbs and brown sugar together. Mix up the cheescake ingredients and pour it on the crust. Oh yeah! Then bake it at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes. And let it cool. And try not to eat it. Then whip up some chocolate ganache to pour on top. Oh yeah. Spread the chocolate evenly on top of the cheesecake and then refrigerate overnight.
