Making Mountains out of Molehills

or rather, turning a “meh” into an “oh yeeeeah!”.
see, the white chocolate filling I made for the other day’s Homemade Oreo Cookies turned out to be a bit too thin after a few days when stirred again to be used as said filling.
so I grabbed some frozen Cocoa-Nut Quick Bread [except it was a different batch that I made sans coconut], and poured some of that white chocolate, uhm, sauce on top.
I also whisked some blackberry preserves and topped it all up with it. et voilà!
I’m irked that the white chocolate experiment didn’t quite pan out, but I’ll try again whenever I get the chance.

Take whatever time it takes to write out the recipe! I’d love to have it, but don’t feel rushed. in the meantime, we can enjoy the pictures :) Too bad the chocolate filling didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to, but I do like the solution that you came up with…

Phenomenal use of leftover sweetness!
and i think i might start drooling over “smoked ricotta” and corn.
seriously!

Excellent recipes. The cake looks delicious but I really like the look of the smoked ricotta and corn pie. It’s not made with eggs, right? It looks like it would be a good quiche for sure. How exactly do you smoke ricotta? I’m hungry!

no eggs here, Nick! “just” tofu ricotta for the win.
to smoke the ricotta, you roll it up, grab a lighter…oh no wait.
you’ll see, it’s the simplest recipe ever.
thanks for the comments!

Ooh, nice use of your leftover filling. The quick bread looks very tasty for teatime, or breakfast, or you know, whenever. :-) And the Smoked Ricotta Corn Pie–I almost don’t need directions, I think all I need is to look at that photo for a good long while. Perfect brunch fare… Yum!

That’s an awesome corn pie! At first I thought it had eggs, then I was like “oh wait, it’s a tasty vegan recipe!” hehe. I love love cornbread, so I imagine I’d love this too! Again, the picture is simple edible!
Oh, wanted to share this with you: I went to my favorite vegan bakery again last night with my hubby and had some tasty, tasty oatscreme - ice cream made from oats. You’ve probably already heard of it (have you tasted this stuff? It’s great), but it’s fairly new to me. I am literally addicted to it now, though; ever since I had the gallbladder removed about a year ago, I haven’t been able to handle ice cream, but with oatscreme around - I definitely don’t miss it! :)

come on over for brunch, Jessie?
titi: greetings!! love your site and will be back for more. thanks for dropping by over here.
Sophie: ouch! you had your gallbladder removed, eh? I just read about it on your “about” page, you poor thing. I think my MIL had hers removed not too long ago either, but I don’t know much about what happens when that has to be done since we’re not too chatty together with her.
anyway, I’ve never tried the oatscreme because I live in an ugly town that has next to nothing fun to do in it. I’ll be sure to try it whenever I get the chance since you recommend it! and I hope you get endless portions of it because hell, you deserve a lot of sweetness after having had surgery!

Wow! Amazing and wonderful baking! Too bad I have an intolerance to soy… I still trying to find a substitute so I could enjoy tofu etc. But anyway, your recipes look so yummy!

go for it, happy herbivore! although I do hope you haven’t sneezed in a while…if you catch my drift.
thanks, lovlie and b36! sorry to hear about the soy intolerance, lovlie. that’s gotta suck a lot!
