OREO TRUFFLES

oreo truffles for baby shower

1 package of oreos
1- 8oz package cream cheese- softened
2 packages of Bakers chocolate- 8 squares each

Finely crush oreos in food processor or blender. Reserve some crumbs on the side for topping (optional). Mix oreo cookie crumbs with cream cheese and blend well. Shape into small balls. Place in freezer for about 10-15 minutes then transfer oreo balls to the refrigerator. Melt the chocolate for dipping.

Using a fork, dip each ball in the chocolate until fully coated. Tap fork a few times to make sure excess chocolate has drained off. Place dipped balls on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.

Tip: Only take out a few oreo balls at a time from the refrigerator. They will fall apart easily in the warm chocolate. Keep them chilled until you are ready for them to keep them from falling apart so quickly.

Sprinkle reserved oreo crumbs(or drizzle melted chocolate) on the finished chocolate truffles.

Place oreo truffles in the refrigerator until firm. Store any leftovers in a airtight container in the refrigerator. Yummy!

Baby Shower Desserts

MINI CHEESECAKES

Crust:
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
Filling:
2- 8oz package cream cheese- softened
3/4 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp lemon juice

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake wrappers. Mix graham crackers, 1/4 cup of sugar and butter in a bowl. Spoon 2 teaspoons of mix into each cupcake liner and press flat. Cook in oven for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.

Once crusts have completely cooled, Mix cream cheeses and 3/4 cup of sugar in a mixer until fluffy (around 5 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time and mix to incorporate. Add lemon juice and mix again.

Pre heat oven to 325. Spoon 3 tablespoons of filling into each graham crust. Bake 16-20 minutes or until cheesecake is firm to the touch and center is slightly jiggly. Cool completely and top with favorite topping. Makes 16-18 cheesecakes

Tips to prevent cracking:
Cracking can be caused by a few things. Two of those inclued an oven that is too hot or over mixing the cream cheese. 325 was a perfect tempature for me and 350 was too hot. Don't prepare your filling until the crust is completely cool. That way the cream cheese mixture is mixed only once and not over mixed when you are ready to use it. .

VARIATIONS:

Strawberry Cheesecake: Replace graham cracker crumbs with oreo cookie crumbs. Spoon cheesecake mixture on top. Roughly chop 1 cup strawberries. Blend in blender with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Press mixture through sieve to remove seeds. Sprinkle a few drops on top of cheesecake mixture and swirl with a toothpick. Bake.

Mini Chocolate Chip: Replace graham cracker crumbs with oreo cookie crumbs. After mixing cheesecake mixture above, stir in mini chocolate chips. Spoon cheesecake mixture on top. Bake

Oreo Cookie Cheesecake: Place an oreo cookie in the bottom. Spoon cheesecake mixture over it. Place 5-6 chocolate chips on top. Bake.

chocolate turtle recipe

1 bag of Pretzels (I like the Synder snap waffle ones)
1 bag of soft chocolate covered caramels (rolos or dove caramels)
1 bag of Pecan Halves

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay out the pretzels and place your chocolate covered caramel candies on top. I used the Dove caramels in the picture above. Cook for just a few minutes. Watch for chocolate to soften and become a little shiny. Remove from oven and place pecans on top. Press gently to attach pecan to the chocolate, being careful not to squish all the yummy caramel out. Enjoy! (You might want to make extra...these are addicting!)

Baby Shower Desserts

MARSHMALLOW POPS

Marshmallows
Candy Melts
Lollipop Sticks
Candies, sprinkles, nuts,etc for topping

Heat up a small amount candy melts in the microwave, in 30 second intervals, stirring until candy is smooth and melted. Dip end of lollipop in the candy melts and push into the marshmallow. While allowing the sticks to dry, melt candy melts for your outside coating. Prep any toppings you will need. Dip marshmallows in candy melts and top with your choice of toppings.

Hint:If covering the whole marshmallow, place marshmallow pops in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before you dip them so they do not swell up from the heat. If you are only dipping half of the marshmallow, you will not need this step.

DIRT CAKE
~ submitted by Kari P. of Orem, Utah~ 1 Package of Oreos
1 package of gummy worms
2 small packages of vanilla pudding
3 cups of milk
1 container of Cool Whip
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup of butter
3/4 cup of powdered sugar

Cream together cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Mix separately the vanilla pudding packages, milk and cool whip. Add the two mixtures together. Set aside. Crush oreo cookies.

Use a flower pot or individual clear cups to display. Layer oreo cookies and filling mixture in your dish. You can hide gummy worms in between the layers. Put a few gummy worms on top. The oreo cookies will resemble a dirt mixture.

Fake out your guests! It is fun to set this dessert in the middle of the table as a centerpiece. Use a flower pot. You can turn the cool whip lid upside down inside the flower pot so the mixture will not run out the bottom.

Place some fresh flowers into the mixture. I like to use plastic wrap around the bottom of the flower so the dirt cake does not get dirty. Announce that for dessert everyone will be eating the flower! Use a clean garden trowel to scoop out the mixture.

FRUIT PIZZA

Cookie Crust:
1 Package Of Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookie Dough
Topping:
1 8oz. package of cream cheese- softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sugar

Fresh Fruit:
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, kiwi, peaches- if any of your fruit is canned, make sure it is well drained and patted dry with a paper towel before using
1/2 cup apple jelly (It helps preserve any fruit that might brown and gives a finishing glaze to it.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 inch round pizza pan. Cut cookie dough in slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Place on pan and press seams together until you have an even crust. Bake in oven for 17-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

In a mixer, cream the cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Rinse fruit and slice any fruit as needed for your design. Spread cream cheese mixture on cooled cookie crust. Arrange fruit on cream cheese mixture, making sure to not get too close to the edge. Heat apple jelly until liquified. Spoon over fruit. Serve within 2 hours.

Tips: This is a great desert but any moisture can cause the crust to get soggy. Prep the pieces beforehand and put together no more than 2 hours before serving to get the best results. Dry off any canned fruit well before using and keep fruit on the cream cheese mixture and not the cookie so it does not turn soggy from the fruit. Enjoy!

CARAMEL BROWNIES

2 sticks butter
12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups pecan, coarsely chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Caramel filling:
I used my favorite caramel popcorn recipe because I had in on hand. It is a little thick, but super yummy. If you perfer more oozy caramel, you can use the following...
14 ounces unwrapped caramels
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Grease bottom and sides of paper. Set aside. Place butter, chopped chocolate and chocolate chips in a metal bowl. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until mixture is smooth and melted. Remove from heat. Mix in sugar, eggs and vanilla extract and whisk together. Add flour and salt and mix until barely incorporated. Pour half of the mixture into the 9x13 pan and spread evenly. Place in oven. Cook for approximately 20 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes.

To make the caramel center, you can either use my caramel popcorn recipe from above or make it from caramels. To make it from caramels, combine the caramels and heavy cream in a pan set at medium heat. Stir consitantly until it is melted and smooth. Mix caramels with half the pecans. (I like to slightly toast the pecans by placing them in a pan set at medium heat, stirring occasionally until I can smell the roasted smell. It really adds to the flavor.) Spread the caramel layer evenly on top of the cooled brownie. Then spread the remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel. Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top. Place back in the oven and cook for another 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
