What would take this brownie recipe to another level?

As I am writing this, I have another idea for this recipe. Should I share it now or make you wait with chocolate anticipation? Although this brownie may stand alone on a dessert plate all by itself, what would take it to another level? My friend Monsieur Pierre would surely tell me to add ice cream.

Ice cream would be the perfect addition to Mimi’s gluten free brownies. Brownie structure would support ice cream well. Whether served in a martini glass or made into an ice cream sandwich, this brownie will make you smile.

For another smile, shout out to Alexa for Miles Davis song Chocolate Chip. It has a rich sexy beat that will accompany Mimi’s Gluten Free Nutty Fudgy Indulgent Brownies with Coconut just fine.

Even if you’re tolerant of gluten it is good to have a gluten free recipe. Anytime you host a large group of people, odds are someone is gluten intolerant. It helps to have at least one dessert that everyone may eat regardless of their standing with gluten.

Of course it is awful to tell a guest intolerant of gluten, “No dessert for you”. Mimis Gluten Free Nutty Fudgy Indulgent Mint Chocolate Brownie recipe will please your guests whether they are a gluten fan or not.

How to serve Mimi’s Gluten Free Nutty Fudgy Indulgent Mint Chocolate Brownie?

This brownie is nutty, fudgy and delicious. Yet it is not a cake-like brownie. My brownie recipe is yummy without the addition of whipping cream or ice cream. However if you want to wow your sweetheart or dinner party serve in a martini glass and add both.

Boozy Version Nutty Fudgy Indulgent Mint Chocolate Brownie

2. Add a dollop of Gluten free cream or scoop of gluten free ice cream.
3. Add a fresh spring of chocolate mint for a garnish.

Does this sound tempting? Yes I want brownies. Where did brownies get started? Legend has it they started in Chicago at the Palmer House Hotel. A small confection was needed for ladies visiting the Worlds Fair in 1893. Isn’t a small confection always needed?

Machias Cookbook and Kitchen Wisdom

Brownies first appeared in print in Machias Cookbook titled Brownies Food. Machias Cookbook was compiled by Mrs Willis H Allen and presented to The Ladies Social Circle in 1899. Machias struck me as an odd name until I discovered the meaning.

Also, I totally understood the sentiment especially Hungry and thirsty folks to satisfy.

Reasons I love this dessert

Yet smiling does not stop with the melt in your mouth goodness of this dessert. Busier than ever, I love a dessert that may be quickly mixed in a bowl, baked and topped with magic will make me smile every time. Add in the fact that ingredients are common and always on hand makes for a great last minute dessert recipe.

Simply stated if you desire a dessert to wow your guests with presentation look no further. Serve this dessert in a martini glass with a scoop of Creole Cream Cheese ice cream. Creole cream cheese adds more tang and a bit of sweet that plain cream cheese does not.

Recipe for Creole Cream Cheese Ice Cream

Chef John Folse offers recipes to make creole cream cheese and his version of this lovely ice cream. If short on time, Blue Bell offers this flavor and it will pair beautifully with richness of Mimi’s Nutty Fudgy Indulgent Pecan Bar.

Top with a sprig of fresh chocolate mint and a tiny drizzle of dark coffee liqueur over white Creole Cream Cheese ice cream. With this served in a martini glass, how could your guests not be in love with this dessert? Easy to make and elegant to serve. You may not want to share our secret.

Hopefully dessert or chocolate is not on your list to abstain. With most of us trying to watch our food intake daily, it helps to serve a small dessert loaded with lots of rich flavor. Yet, Mimi’s Nutty Fudgy Indulgent Pecan Bar is a perfect size for serving to a dinner party, bridge, bunco or canasta group.

With this in mind, Alexa shout out to The Archie’s for song Sugar Sugar. Do you remember this song written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim? Song spent 4 weeks as number one in 1969 and 22 weeks on Billboards top 100. “Pour a little sugar on me, oh yeah.”

Finally, if you want a sweet treat, try this recipe. Let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you.

As I review the recipes on my site, I have discovered my favorites, sweet and spicy. Sweet and spicy are delicious on their own but they certainly may be paired together for a succulent bite. The recipe focus today is cheesecake, chocolate and coffee. I have enjoyed learning how to  combine ingredients to blend flavors and sharing them with you. Of course, the best part is eating them.

My dessert marries together addictive ingredients that are hard to say no to chocolate and coffee. The farm fresh eggs add a delicious addition to the addictive pair.  Farm Fresh eggs are healthier for you to eat and taste better. Check the link for further information. If you live near a local farm, pick up fresh eggs. You won’t regret it.

This is an easy cheesecake to make in your home. A cheesecake is a great dessert to make ahead for company. The topping aids the flavor and assists if the cheesecake cracks a bit. The small amount of pecans and ganache are just enough to take this cheesecake to another level. It has just enough chocolate to satisfy without going overboard.

I hope that you enjoy my version of Cafe’ Cheesecake with pecans and chocolate. Each time that I make a cheesecake, they magically disappear. On my site you may also find a St Germain Cheesecake. It is a simpler version of this cheesecake. Both cheesecakes would be a great dessert  choice to serve for your next dinner party , event or St Patrick’s Day party.

In conclusion, this recipe pairs well with a cup of chicory coffee or your version of Cafe au lait. Enjoy!

Chocolate, strawberries and cream, could there be a better winning combination? Hmmmmm? It is possible but at the moment I am only able to focus on my chocolate, strawberries and cream. I love chocolate in all of its forms milk, dark, bitter or white.  The strawberries and fresh cream partner well on their own.  The dark side of chocolate stands up well next to the fresh innocence of the cream.

On my drive back from Louisiana past the ancient Cypress trees, I passed several roadside markets and drove past all of them. Really? I stopped at the first market, in case it was the only one. The market was loaded with fresh produce, preserved foods, Cajun jerky in various protein options and an assortment of seafood.

I purchased various items to cook with that drew me in. The item that I could not resist was the fresh strawberries from Ponchatoula. I don’t recall ever visiting Ponchatoula but I had certainly tasted my share of its strawberries. The Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival is the second largest festival in Louisiana. The largest party being Mardi Gras, of course.

The Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival certainly looks festive and this year will be the 46th Festival. They have all the required items for a party food, shopping, games, parade and even a Ball with a Strawberry Queen. The Festival schedule covers an entire weekend.

The vendors for the festival are non-profits or service organizations. This puts a unique spin on the shopping aspect. A reason to shop if you happen to need a reason. Shopping with a purpose in addition to the “instant  happy” that you may feel when buying.

I was “instantly happy” with my small flat of strawberries. At least until miles later, I realized that it may have not been the best idea to place them in the passenger seat next to me. The flat of berries had my car smelling like fresh berries.

At this point, I had to ponder the risk of eating strawberries that I had not washed. I really did not want to stop again because I had a drive ahead of me. I did not want to carry my pint into a gas station rest room and wash. EEwwww!  I had only been on the road less than 30 minutes and could not make it past even one roadside market. This did not bode well for a quick trip. Grill Man was not with me to suggest that maybe we should keep driving.

I finally figured out a system that I could tolerate. While driving with my left hand, I managed to pour my bottle of water into a cup. I  grabbed a fresh, red, fat and juicy strawberry. Then I vigorously dunked my prize  into the water. I popped the berry into my mouth. It tasted as delicious as the aroma that had filled my car.

This is probably where I should insert the disclaimer. Do not try this alone in your car. I am happy to report that I did not eat all the strawberries. I had a 3 hour drive ahead of me so it was in the realm of possibility. I did manage to dunk a pint of berries, though. I enjoyed every berry.

With the remaining berries, I knew a dessert would find its way into my brain. After working yesterday, I popped in leftovers for Grill Man and I. Then I started pulling ingredients and decided to introduce my prize to chocolate and cream.  I hope that you enjoy this version of Ponchatoula’s best with chocolate and cream.

This last week has been jam-packed at my house.  Parents, visiting for a spell.  Trying to get ready for a house  filled with company. Lots of cleaning and organizing and putting the clutter away.

During this rush of activity, I decided to try my hand at a different chili.  I pulled the random ingredients and started to work. One important thing to remember when your cooking for you and yours, is to relax. If you don’t like it, toss it and move on.

Some times cooking without a recipe goes well. Some times, it is exquisite. Be prepared, because some times it is, not so good. This is how, my chili turned out. It became peep food, quickly.

In an effort, to redeem myself with my crew, I ventured to dessert land. I had wanted to create a brownie cookie. I pulled the Chocolate Mint Brownie recipe and studied it.  I went through my cook pans to see what my options were for baking.

Shout out to Alexa, for Rolling Stones, starting with Brown sugar.
