Brownie Bottom Cheesecake w/Nutella Whip

-


Today was a day that I had brownies on the brain. This was the second recipe I prepared today with a brownie crust. I've been thinking of this cheesecake for several weeks and today was the day to give it a shot! My daughter keeps begging to eat it but I think she will have to wait till Sunday. With company coming for lunch and supper I think we'd better keep it till then. I did sneak a taste tonight and was quite pleased with the combo. Theres some caramel in there too. It's a rich, decadent dessert that will go far. While I was putting the Nutella Whip on top my daughter kept opening her mouth wide and going pretty close to the edge of the cheesecake pretending to take a bite. She doesn't usually pay much attention to cheesecakes but this one must have caught her eye for whatever reason.☺

For the brownies:


I used a basic brownie recipe that I found here and adapted it slightly but boxed brownies would work just as well.

½ cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
½ stick unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup caramel drops

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking, powder, salt, and cocoa.

In a mixer bowl beat sugar and butter till fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Mix well. Add vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture mixing until wel combined.

Spray a 9 inch Springform pan and double line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Spray the top paper as well. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with caramel drops.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes.

In the meantime mix cheesecake.

For the cheesecake:


16 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix cream cheese and brown sugar until creamy, scraping sides of bowl and mixing till smooth. Add eggs one at a time mixing gently after each and adding vanilla. Scrape sides again and mix a little bit again. Pour over cooled brownies. Place Springform pan onto a baking sheet and return to oven and bake for 40 minutes. When done baking turn oven off and prop door open with a wooden spoon handle for another 30 minutes before removing cake from oven.

For the toppin:
4 ounces Cool Whip
½ cup Nutella

Fold together and pipe onto the cake with a decorating bag and tip.

    Oh, oh, oh, I am absolutely swooning, drooling, panting and wishing you lived next door. This is just luscious sounding, but it is also so incredibly beautiful. That Nutella whip on the top is just the crowning touch to an already sinful dessert. Wow, don't you eat the whole thing, save me a piece.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
