15-minute or less treats
plus a few new bonuses
I like a little sweet treat with my sunshine, bonus if it comes with a delicious topping. So I’ve put together a few dessert gravy options for pairing with cakes, topping waffles, filling cookies, or pouring over cheesecakes.
Side note, I’ve been searching for a hutch/bookshelf/cabinet to store some of my baking supplies that have been chaotically placed around the kitchen (my Type A self has been CRINGING), and I found one. Now I just need to sort how to get rid of the previous owner’s heavy cologne smell…
GOLDEN GOODIES
If you love a cozy loaf pan bake, this coconut spice loaf cake is layered with warm spices and loads of coconut flavor. It comes together easily, perfect for serving as is with a cup of tea or, if you want to get snazzy, top a slice with whipped cream and a little carrot cake sauce for a sticky toffee pudding vibe.
These South African hertzoggies - mini tarts made with apricot jam and coconut meringue - have an infuriatingly interesting political background. Also, I need to start incorporating more coconut meringue in my desserts…
15-MINUTE OR LESS TREATS
All the warm, buttery flavors you love, in pourable form. This carrot cake sauce comes together in less than 15 minutes and pairs deliciously with the above loaf, over ice cream, served with muffins, or enjoyed straight off the spoon.
When someone asks you how to make blueberry syrup, you make homemade blueberry syrup. All you need are blueberries, lemon, sugar, salt, and a smidge of cornstarch to make a delicious topping for your weekend breakfasts.
While classically, a ganache is simply chocolate and cream, why not tweak it a little? This is a simple peanut butter ganache recipe, made with only 4 ingredients (spoiler: one is a heavy dollop of PB). Your cakes, cookies, and macarons are about to get a scrumdiddlyumptious upgrade.
Another easy ganache pivot, this white chocolate raspberry ganache has that delicious balance of sweet and sharp. Plus, the added pop of color from the raspberries makes it a standout in looks and flavor.
Brb while I go try every trick to de-scent my new hutch.
Laytahsss,
