S'mores Pizza Recipe

Hola Amigos, as you can see, I just couldn't stop with the Apple Pie Pizza, but had to do a S'mores one too! So without further ado, here are the easy steps...(there is really not a recipe here)

S'mores Pizza

1 Cinnamon Crust with Icing

1( 3.5oz)  Chocolate Candy Bar of your preference

Mini Marshmallows

Crushed Candy'n Cookies or your favorite

All my ingredients are  from the Dollar Store

Heat up your oven at 450F. Remove the cinnamon pizza from the wrap. 

Cut the chocolate candy bar and spread the squares and pieces on top of the pizza. Put in the oven for 3 minutes. Remove and with a plastic spatula spread the melted chocolate over the Pizza. Top it with marshmallows and crushed candy cookies.

Bake for another 3 minutes.

This cinnamon pizza comes with a little container of sugar glaze, so I put it in the microwave for a few seconds for it to melt and then drizzled it over my baked and ready to eat pizza.

Listo!

Ohhh no need for a grill here! This is just a sweet and good as the original stuff!

Watch it when you take the first bite...Hot, Sticky Sweet and Oozing Hot Chocolate!

This was just a quick idea for you to do with and for your kids my friends, in days when it might be too hot to go outside or no desire to grill at all! In 7 minutes you have a perfectly good S'more!

Thank You for visiting today, remember that everything tastes better with Chocolate and a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,

Lizy

Apple Pie Dessert Pizza Recipe

Hola Amigos! I'm so disappointed at myself for not having 1 single decoration or something special for the 4th of July! Shame on me! I honestly just haven't got a chance to sit down and craft anything! What I've been doing a lot of is cooking and just had a literal "last minute thought" and decided to cook up something to celebrate such a magnificent date.
What is more representative of our American Culture than Apple Pie! Songs, Poems, Sayings have been created around this little pastry, so I think it deserves a place of honor in the upcoming celebration!
Keep in mind this is last minute and was made with things I had at hand. No major baking or preparation, but  easy and quick ....just one thing though, don't say it out loud because your guest are not going to believe you when you tell them how you put it together!
All of the items, but the apples came from the Dollar Store! oh yeah baby, one of my favorite places ever! Who says you can't create deliciousness on a budget! Here is the recipe.

Apple Pie Dessert Pizza 

1 Personal  Pre Made Cinnamon Crust

1 Green Apple Cubed

3 TBSP Brown Sugar

1 half of  a Lemon juiced

1 tsp flour

1 TBSP Cinnamon Applesauce (optional)

1/4 tsp Cinnamon or more to taste

1 Pinch Nutmeg

A handful of crushed Candy'n Cookies or your favorite 

Mini Marshmallows 

Caramel topping or Caramel Candies

Note: Ingredients are for 1 personal pizza, just double for more.

Heat oven at 450F.
Combine your cubed apples with all the ingredients except the crushed cookies, marshmallows and caramel.

Bake this mix in an oven resistant bowl for 10 minutes. Test for doneness of the apples after this time, depending on your oven or personal taste if you like them mushier bake them some more.
Remove your Pizza from the wrapping and place the hot apple mix on it. Top it with the crushed cookies and bake at 450 for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Remove and top it with your marshmallows, place the pizza back in the oven  for the marshmallows to get brown,  for an additional 2 minutes.

Remove from oven, let it cool for 1 minute and serve!
Listo,

I melted some Vanilla Caramels that I had around with a little bit of heavy cream and drizzle this mix on top of my marshmallows!

Delish!!!!

As you can see friends, I'm sure you have every thing you need for this recipe in your pantry, fridge or purse (yeah.....I carry a bag of chocolate and caramels in my purse...don't judge, lol) with the exception perhaps of the cute mini cinnamon crust from the dollar store.
It's crispy and sweet at the same time!

Between prep and cooking time I'll say your personal Apple Pie Pizza is done in 20 minutes! Isn't that fantastic?

With a glass of milk or vanilla ice cream it's delicious!

Hope you enjoy my little Apple Pizza Pie! It was fun to make and delicious to eat!
Happy Birthday America! and remember that no matter where you reside in this beautiful country of ours, if you are overseas or if you are not american by birth but believe in the values and people of this great country, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

P.S here is a sneak preview of the tomorrow's post, wink, wink

Besitos,
Lizy

Depression Coconut Cake Recipe

Hola Amigos! Last week I saw tons of these cakes done on Pinterest, Lemon, Apple-Raisin and Spiced to name a few. Also the lovely +Dawn   at Spatulas on Parade has my favorite on her blog, Chocolate, check it out for some chocolate goodness. I've pinned them of course in case one of these days I would be brave enough to bake a cake from scratch...well little did I know the time came sooner than I thought out of desperation (Oh No! there's nothing sweet to have coffee with), laziness (I don't feel like going to the store)  and well....the prospect of being "depressed" if I didn't have my sweet fix for my afternoon coffee ritual.
I check through a few recipes and came out with my own version of this popular cake.

Coconut Depression Cake

1 1/2 Cup Flour

3/4 cup packed Brown Sugar

1 Tsps Baking Soda

1 Tsps White Vinegar

1/2 Tsps Salt

1/2 Tsps Almond Extract

3/4 Cup Applesauce

1 Cup Coconut Milk

Pre-heat your oven at 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, sugar and salt. Make a crater like indentation in the middle and add vinegar, applesauce and almond almond extract. Mix well all the ingredients above. Pour batter into a prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick in the middle comes clean (you know the drill)

Set to Cool

For the Topping

4 oz Marshmallow Cream

2 oz Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 Melted Chocolate Candy

1/4 Cup Coconut Milk 

Toasted Coconut and your favorite Trail Mix ( enough to cover your cake with it)

Mix  the first 4 ingredients until a smooth and good enough consistency  to pour over your cooled cake. if it's too thick add more coconut milk. 

Top it all off with toasted coconut and trail mix (mine was tropical banana coconut raisin!)

Listo

 I like it! It is fast, fun and easy enough for a novice baker like me to make!

I can only imagine all the combinations you can make with this quick recipe.

I didn't add any oil because the coconut milk has enough in it, for the spongy consistency I replaced with applesauce. Also unlike the traditional I used brown sugar. It was just sweet enough to complement the gooey and crunchy topping.

Oh and in case you are asking why trail mix...well I didn't have any nuts use either...I think I needed to go grocery shopping soon, lol

Thank you for visiting the blog today. I encourage you to give this easy cake a try. Make it your own playing around with ingredients and flavor combination until you find one you can't live without.

Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love and lots of sweet imagination!
Besitos,
Lizy
