Royal Wedding Recipe: Try Prince Williams Chocolate Biscuit Cake

Having a party for the Royal wedding tonight?  If you are, why not celebrate by serving the same chocolate biscuit cake that Prince William has requested for his wedding feast?

 

This cake is one of two slated to show up on the royal menu.  As I understand the story, Wills mom, the late Princess Diana, used to make this cake for the boys when they were kids.

 

It’s an easy, no bake cake made with tea biscuits and set in the refrigerator.

 

The recipe is here:  Prince William's Chocolate Biscuit Cake Recipe

The recipe makes about four cups and takes approximately 15 minutes to prepare.

You'll want to serve it in beautiful, clear coffee cups, of course.

Try this Recipe for Sweet and Salty Brownies

Check out these sweet and salty brownies. When we think of the luscious chocolate bar known as brownies, we usually think of a chocolate snack food that is topped with icing or whipped cream.

This recipe is a little different. Rather than the traditional chocolate frosting, these brownies are topped with a mixture of salted peanuts and pretzels, moistened with agave. 

It's a yummy treat and well worth a try.

Recipe for Black and White Shortbread Cookies

This cookie recipe is colorful as well as yummy. It involves chocolate shortbread cookies and white shortbread cookies sandwiched together with red jam or jelly in the middle.

Since you use a cookie cutter to cut the Black and White Shortbread Cookies,  you can cut the cookies to suit any holiday, celebration or event.  Cut them with a shamrock and you have a great St. Patrick's Day cookie. For St. Paddy's Day, you could substitute the red filling with green icing if you wanted.

They're fine as they are for Valentine's Day or Christmas, cut with heart shaped cutters or Christmas themed cutters.

For Easter, you could use egg shaped cutters or bunny cutters or lamb cutters, and fill with a yellow icing or perhaps lemon filling.

For Halloween, use pumpkin or ghost shaped cutters. The red jelly filling would work okay, or you could use something orange colored.

Have fun with this recipe.

Raw Foodists Recipe for Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes

Raw foodism is a lifestyle in which followers eat only preservative free, organic raw foods. The belief is that cooking and heating destroys the nutrients in the food we eat. Foods may be prepared by dehydration or drying, since this process does not generate enough heat to damage the food.  Raw foods can be frozen as well.

A raw food diet doesn't have to be boring. There is a recipe for Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes that suits the requirements of those on a raw food diet, as well as appealing to the taste buds of anyone wanting a healthy and good tasting chocolate dessert. In this recipe, dried bananas, prepared in a dehydrator or dried in the oven, are used to make the crepes.

Anybody like Chocolate Pots de Creme?

So who likes decadent, rich and sinfully fattening chocolate pots de creme? 

Admittedly, this recipe is high fat. High calorie. High sugar. It's not remotely healthy or good for you, except possibly the raspberries and mint that you use for the garnish.

On the other hand, its so rich and good that you'll want to make it for a special occasion or just because you deserve a treat today.

The recipe makes six pots de creme, and it strongly recommends that you use a good quality chocolate that is at least 70% chocolate fat.

And for now, how about this video?  If you are young at heart, the narrator says, you may dream of working in a candy factory.
