Easter Egg Cake Balls

Lolli — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 17:43:55 +0000

One of my family’s Spring Break traditions is to spend lots of time together in the kitchen. Spring Break for my kids starts tomorrow (we have a late one this year!) so I’m just barely starting to think about all of our spring traditions.

We love to hard boil and dye eggs, make batches and batches of sugar cookies and bowls full of homemade frosting in a rainbow of pastel colors and then decorate them (and eat them for days!).

It’s all about the Easter food!

This year I’m in mourning because our kitchen is STILL only half-functional, and it’s going to be a bigger challenge to make dyed Easter eggs, sugar cookies, or other treats. I’m so excited for the weekend when we’ll be getting together with our friends for a big Easter dinner (and I can use their kitchen to cook all day!).

If you’re luckier than I am this week and have a full-functioning kitchen, these cake ball eggs are not only super cute and festive, but they are beyond delicious, too! Use funfetti cake mix for a fun look inside your cake ball eggs, and mix up the flavors and use yellow cake mix with strawberry frosting. The great thing about this recipe is that there’s so much room for variations in color and flavor!

Here’s what you need to start:

12 cupcakes, made from your favorite cake mix or cake recipe (funfetti cake is super fun with this recipe!)
1 container or batch of marshmallow fondant (my daughter loves to make marshmallow fluff fondant. It’s SO easy! Just take a 16 ounce container of marshmallow fluff and mix in 6-8 cups of powdered sugar, about a teaspoon of vanilla, and a few drops of gel food coloring. Knead it in a greased surface with greased hands until it’s smooth!)
1 can of your favorite frosting (again, we like to make our own frosting, but if you want to save a step, then grab a can!)
10-15 drops pink GEL Food Coloring
Spoon
Knife
Rolling Pin
Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper or Wax Paper

Crumble cupcakes into a large bowl and stir in frosting until completely combined.

Form mixture into 12 egg shapes with your hands and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.

While cake ball eggs are chilling, grab your fondant. Set aside a small amount of uncolored fondant for the polka dots at the end.

Work pink GEL food coloring into larger portion of fondant until the desired color is consistent throughout. Separate fondant into 3 equal-sized pieces, set 2 aside and work with one piece at a time.

Roll one section of fondant flat (about 1/8-inch thickness).

Cut rolled out fondant into 4 sections with a sharp knife.

Remove eggs from the freezer and wrap one egg in one of the sections of fondant you just cut.

Repeat until all eggs are covered in fondant. Do not try to work the egg too much, just get it covered–the more you handle the fondant, the more sticky it will get.

Place eggs into the freezer for another 10 minutes to set. Remove eggs from freezer and make tiny circles with the white fondant you set aside earlier; mash those tiny circles randomly onto the outside of the eggs.

Chill your Easter egg cake balls until ready to serve.

Yield: 12 cake ball eggs

8. Roll the ¼ section of fondant flat (about ⅛-inch thickness).

9. Cut into 4 sections with a sharp knife.

Oreo Snowballs

Lolli — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 14:31:49 +0000

My alarm goes off at 5:00am every morning, Monday through Friday. That’s life with a house full of teenagers who need Mom to wake them up to get ready for school. So when my alarm went off this morning at 5, I was pretty excited to see an email from the school district announcing a 2-hour delay due to icy roads. I set my next alarm for 7:00, and promptly fell back to sleep.

At 7, I checked my emails again. Sure enough, the school district had sent an update: school is cancelled! We have a SNOW DAY (with no snow on the ground. Go figure!).

Lazy days with no school call for baking projects with the kids! I’m currently brainstorming what we can make together today.

Last time we had a snow day, we made these delicious, can’t-stop-eating-them Oreo snowballs. I was kind of hoping that the kids (and my husband) wouldn’t like them as much as they did…so that I could claim more for myself. I suppose it’s a good thing that I was forced to share them.

My family loves our Oreo cookies, but the Oreo snowballs that we made were over-the-top amazing. These snowballs are WAY more fun than the cold kind we make outside…(and they taste better, too!). Don’t get me wrong. We love the snow, but we enjoy staying cozy and dry even more!

Did I mention that these require only 3 (possibly four) ingredients and that they are NO-BAKE?! Unless you are actually snowed in and can’t get to the store to buy ingredients, you really have no excuse.

Here’s how easy it is to make Oreo Snowballs:

Ingredients:

1 package of Oreo cookies, crushed
8 ounce package of Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
12 ounces white chocolate
Optional: white sprinkles or crystal sugar

Instructions:

1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a blender or for more hands-on involvement, place Oreos in a gallon size freezer bag and have the kids roll them into crumbles with a rolling pin.

2. Blend softened cream cheese into the crushed Oreos. You can also blend the two by placing both ingredients into a gallon size zip top bag and kneading the cream cheese into the Oreos. Kids love this!

3. Roll the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into balls (about a tablespoon each). Place your balls on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of wax paper.

4. Place your rolled balls into the freezer for at least 10 minutes.

5. Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer; melt your white chocolate according to package directions.

6. Dip each cookie ball in white chocolate. You can use your fingers, a spoon, two tooth picks…whatever works best for you to dip your Oreo balls. Place chocolate-covered balls on another sheet of wax paper and immediately sprinkle them with white sugar crystals – they dry fast!

7. As soon as the white chocolate has hardened, your snowballs are ready to eat!

What are your favorite things to do on snow days (or just run-of-the-mill days off of school)?

The Best Brownie Cream Cheese Recipe

Lolli — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 21:06:57 +0000

I’m excited to welcome Claire from SumoChef for this guest post recipe today. Don’t these brownies look amazing??

For someone who loves baking, I make sure that I whip up unique and straightforward recipes for anyone to enjoy. It’s fun trying to mix everything together and create the perfect outcome, with just about everyone enjoying it. One of the things I have always wanted to put together is cream cheese and chocolate! I do love myself a chocolate cheesecake, but I decided to do something different and create a sweet cream cheese icing to be topped on a moist and chocolatey brownie. And that is how the Brownie Cream Cheese recipe came to be!

Delicious and loved by everyone, it’s not only a delight to eat, but very easy to make. So read on as I show you how to create this yummy brownie!

Brownie Cream Cheese Recipe

This Brownie Cream Cheese recipe has the moist and decadent brownies topped with wonderfully tart and sweet cream cheese icing. A straightforward and indulgent dessert just about anyone will enjoy!

Yum

Brownie Cream Cheese

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Yield: 12 brownies

Ingredients

3.5 ounces (100 grams) cream cheese
1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (120 grams) cake flour
4 Tablespoons (25 grams) cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup (150 grams) melted butter
1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
4 Tablespoons (25 grams) chopped almonds
optional: 2 Tablespoons (30 milliliters) coffee

Instructions

Prepare the cream cheese and place it in a bowl, beating it until it's mashed. Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract, whisking all ingredients until it's creamy. Crack one egg into the bowl and beat until smooth.
Sift the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda into a bowl and set it aside.
In another bowl, add melted butter with the sugar, stirring until well incorporated. Then insert the other egg, whisking all the ingredients until beaten and combined. Pour the coffee and add the sifted flour mixture, mixing everything until it has the consistency of brownie batter.
Set aside one small portion of the brownie batter and add it to an icing pipe. With the rest of the brownie batter, fold in the almonds and mix everything together until the almonds and batter are blended.
Put the brownie batter in a nine-inch brownie pan, using a spatula to even out the layer. Add the cream cheese mixture after that, spreading or moving the pan around until the cream cheese is spread evenly around the brownie batter.
With the small portion of brownie batter, squeeze and add vertical lines onto the brownie mixture. After that, use a toothpick to swirl lines for an attractive design.
Bake the brownies for 55 to 65 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius (approximately 300° F). Once the brownies are baked, turn off the oven and take the pan out, covering it with foil. Put it back in the oven to let it cool for a few minutes.
Take out the brownies and cut it into even sliced. Serve and enjoy!

Pro-Tips to Follow:

Wondering what you can do to make this Brownie Cream Cheese recipe even better? Check these pro tips out!

Avoid letting your cream cheese sit out for too long to prevent any bacteria from coming into it. As much as possible, use all fresh ingredients at room temperature, preparing and using it within two hours.
If you’re a coffee drinker, these brownies are delicious served with a cup of coffee. For the kids, pair it with ice cream or top it with slivers of pistachio for a crunch!

If you’re having a hard time sifting, I recommend that you invest in a good flour sifter to make things much easier. The better equipment you have, the more chances you have at improving!
When twirling the piped brownie batter and cream cheese mixture, I recommend you to swirl it in random directions or circles, making it look like they have cute circles and swirls on top.

In Conclusion

If you’re looking for the perfect dessert you and your family will love, then I would have to recommend the Brownie Creamcheese! With the slightly bitter chocolate flavors mixed with the tart icing and a whole lot of sweetness, you have everything loaded in one bite. And no, you won’t be able to stay away!

I hope that this Brownie Cream Cheese recipe helped you find an idea and let you learn a whole new recipe you can make with your family to serve for everyone today. Don’t wait any longer and try it out!

Homemade Popsicles – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #77

Lolli — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 11:00:01 +0000

We’ve hit the one-month mark of our summer break, and swim season is finally coming to a close. My youngest son made it to Divisionals this coming weekend (so proud but secretly sad that we’ve got MORE swim ahead of us!).

It’s been a busy summer, and you’ve probably noticed that things have been quieter than usual around here lately. I’m hoping to take a few days in the next week or so to put together some new recipes and DIY projects for you guys. But if you REALLY miss me between now and then, you can always follow my comings and goings in my LuLaRoe group!

That’s right! This week we’re pulled together some incredible popsicles – the perfect summer time treat! Here are a couple of popsicles I’ve shared on Food Fun Family. Enjoy!

Welcome Spring! Easter Dessert Recipes: Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #62

Lolli — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 11:00:07 +0000

Hi guys!

Welcome to SPRING! The weather took a turn back in the direction of winter last week, but I hear that we’re supposed to be feeling much more spring-like by the weekend. I can’t wait! I love the spring. My only complaint is allergies, but honestly I am willing to suffer if I can enjoy the sunshine, the warm without humidity, and the coming of summer!

This week, we’ve pulled together some delicious Easter and spring-inspired desserts. I love how colorful they all are! Here’s a fun Easter cupcake that I made a few years ago:

Have you noticed that you don’t truly appreciate something until you no longer have it? That’s exactly what I’ve been experiencing the last few days. My computer stopped “working” with my home wifi. It used to work. Now it doesn’t. All of the other devices in the house work just fine. Sigh.

I miss my wifi.

This week, my fellow Delicious Dishes hosts and I have picked out a few of our favorite pie recipes that have been shared on our previous Delicious Dishes parties. I LOVE making multiple pies for Thanksgiving! Two of my favorites are my homemade apple pie (you’ve got to try this!) and my newer holiday tradition, chocolate pecan pie. So yummy!

Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls #ItsBakingSeason

Lolli — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 21:33:34 +0000

This recipe for Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls is sponsored by Pillsbury but all thoughts, opinions and photos are my own. #ItsBakingSeason

I love the holidays.

When I was growing up, holidays meant time with my extended family and some of the best foods ever. My mom, grandma, and all of my aunts would make their most delicious dishes and we would enjoy an amazing feast, regardless of which holiday we were celebrating.

The holidays changed quite a bit for me once I got married and moved across the country from the rest of my family. I still love the foods of the holidays, of course. But now it’s just a bigger challenge because all of the cooking and baking responsibility are on my shoulders.

I don’t want to skimp on all of my favorite holiday dishes, but I’m always on the look-out for recipes that make my holiday cooking easier and less time-intensive. Because time with family and celebrating the holidays together is important, I don’t want to spend the entire holiday by myself in the kitchen!

I love cooking, but I like spending time with the family even more, and nobody has time to be slaving away alone in the kitchen, especially when they’re supposed to be enjoying the holidays with family and friends. I’m guessing I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I have found a new family-favorite recipe that is a perfect addition to the holiday menu. It’s delicious and meets my picky holiday-worthy standards. And it’s fast and easy, which meets my holiday craziness needs!

When I told my kids and husband what I was making the other day, they just about died. They couldn’t wait for the crescent rolls to be done (and for me to take pictures). Once they were all done, you wouldn’t believe how quickly 16 Nutella and cheesecake-filled crescent rolls disappeared. No one could eat just one!

Here’s how to make these simple but delicious Nutella cheesecake crescent rolls:

The trick to making this recipe so quick and easy? Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls!

Yum

Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls Twin Pack (two 8-oz containers)
½ cup Nutella
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten and divided
¼ cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar)

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine 4 oz cream cheese, softened, with ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon egg, beaten. Set aside.
Separate crescent rolls into 16 triangles. Spread a heaping teaspoon of nutella and a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll wedge.
Roll each wedge starting from the wide end, tucking pointed end underneath.
Repeat until all crescent rolls are filled and rolled. Place on a baking sheet, 1-2 inches apart. Note: you’ll probably need to separate the crescent rolls between two baking sheets.
Mix ½ teaspoon of water with the remaining beaten egg. Brush egg mixture over the top of each crescent roll. Sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
Bake at 375 F for 12 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Serve warm or cold - these Nutella-Cheesecake filled crescent rolls are delicious both ways!

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #41 – Cupcake Recipes

Lolli — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:00:13 +0000

Hi guys! I’m on a plane once again heading to California for the next week. Tis the season of traveling for me, I guess. This time, I’m spending the week with my mom and 2 nephews. We’ve got lots of fun things planned, and I can’t wait. I just wish I could take my entire family with me instead of leaving them home to go to school.

As we were looking through last week’s Delicious Dishes recipe party, we noticed a bunch of yummy cupcakes, so naturally we decided to pick our favorites. In case you’re looking for even more tasty cupcakes, here are a few of my personal favorites:
