what are some godd recipes for dessert?

Question

desserts how to make them

Answer 1

I have a question about "Chinese fried walnuts", to mix sugar with the walnuts before deep frying them in oil, will the sugar still coat the walnuts? The sugar will dissolve in the oilm right?

The recipe I have for "Sweet and Crispy Walnuts" is --- to deep fried the cooked walnuts for 1 minute (till crispy), drain well, stir fry the walnuts in a clean wok with 1 tablespoon of water (just to moist the walnuts' surface) and add icing sugar & toss quickly till all walnuts are lightly coated. Place them on a plate to cool, the sugar will become white and crispy.

I would like to post some recipes here that are simple, quick and easy but not straight from a box, you can prepare these stir-mix-chill desserts within 20 minutes (excludes chilling time) and I hope you would like them.

<<<<<< Chocolate Salami >>>>>>> Cuts into 25 slices
250g plain chocolate
100g butter
3 tablespoon clear honey
100g ground almonds
100g dried apricots, finely chopped
50g toasted chopped nuts
200g amaretti biscuits, finely crushed
1) Break up the chocolate and cut the butter into cubes. Put the chocolate, butter and honey in a large bowl. Microwave on Medium for 3-4 minutes, then stir until the mix is smooth and glossy.
2) Stir almonds, apricots, nuts and three-quarters of the biscuits into the chocolate mix. Leave to cool, then chill for 1-2 hours until the mix is firm enough to shape.
3) Spoon the chocolate mix along the length of one sheet of greaseproof paper then wrap the paper around it. Once the mix is enclosed, roll it to make a neat sausage about 25 cm long.
4) Chill roll for 30 minutes, spread remaining biscuits over second sheet of greaseproof. Unwrap chocolate roll and use your hands to roll it over the biscuit crumbs so it is evenly coated. Wrap in greaseproof again, then over wrap tightly with foil, twisting the ends to seal. Chill for at least 2 hours until firm or overnight.
5) To pack for school, you can frozen the "sausage" then let it defrost in room temp. in the class room. Let the teacher to unwrap roll, slice into thin rounds with a sharp knife, and serve the kids with milk. Or you may wrap slices with little plastic bags then place in a paper box for easy distribution.
Chocolate salami (see below photo) can be kept in the fridge for a week or freeze for up to 1 month and you may serve it with ice-cream & fresh mix berries.

Answer 3

a friend gave me this recipie. i really like it. good luck =) STRAWBERRY KROPSUA 1 pint strawberries 1/4 c sugar 1 egg 1 1/4 T sugar 2/3 c milk 1/3 tsp vanilla 1/3 c flour 1/3 tsp oil 1/3 T powdered sugar Slice strawberries and mix with 1/4 c sugar and refrigerate (I don't do that part. Instead I slice the strawberry into sections but not all the way through so I can fan it out on top of the dessert.) Heat oven to 425º and place a 7" cast iron skillet in the oven for 10 minutes while making the batter. Beat egg and 1 1/4 T sugar in bowl with a mixer. Then add the milk and vanilla and continue to beat. Add flour and incorporate with a wire whisk. Take the skillet out of the oven, brush the inside with oil and pour batter into the pan. Bake in the oven 20 minutes until fluffy and golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let set 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, slice, and pour on a spoonful of strawberries over each serving. (Again, I just spread out the one strawberry over the top - looks pretty)
