White Chocolate Lemon Curd Ganache

-
 
If you're looking for a bright, cheery topping for a cake that is also delicious, look no further!
I really loved the flavor of this one! And its super simple. Well, at least if you have Lemon Curd hiding out in the fridge, or maybe the bought stuff in your cupboard? I'm kind of partial to this Meyer Lemon Curd.
 
4 ounces White Chocolate Chips
or coating wafers
¾ cup (scant) Heavy Cream
Lemon Curd, to taste
 
Place the chocolate in a small bowl.
 
In a small, heavy saucepan heat the cream till small bubbles appear around the sides. Whisk while it heats so that it heats evenly.
 
Pour over the chocolate and let sit for about a minute then whisk until smooth.
 
Add the Lemon Curd a Tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until you reach the flavor that you prefer. If the Lemon Curd is room temperature let this mixture cool for a little bit before pouring onto the cake. If it was refrigerated it should be good to go.
 
Pour slowly onto the center top of the cake until it runs down the sides.
 
Any extra can be stored in the refrigerator for a while and slightly heated to pouring consistency when ready to use.
 
Or like my sister suggested, it would be delicious to dip strawberries in it! Haven't tried that yet but I know that I will! Yum!!
 
 
 
Have a lovely day!

    Mmmm the sweetness of the white chocolate will balance out the tartness in the lemon curd, brilliant!

    What a gorgeous cake Martha and a brilliant idea to make lemon ganache, wow! Of course the raspberries, in my book, take it right over the top! :)

    it still taste great after a few days. Allowing it to rest probably allows the flavours to meld so one day later is probably best :D

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, starting on
