Description of SALAD

It is very simple recipe made with fresh ingredients. And when I say simple I really mean it.

And how simple it is! Really! Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, parsley and the best ingredient you can imagine. The CHEESE. Yes, it is Dr. Cheese. I like to use Feta cheese or white brine cheese. You use what you have or can find it. In case you want to make your own cheese check this link – How to Make Cheese at Home – Got Milk

BTW, white brine cheese is made in the Balkans. You can find it in Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Romania. The cheese is made of the milk of goats, sheep or cows. It is crumbly and commonly produced in blocks with slightly grainy texture. It is super tasty and something you need to try. Of course, if you can’t find it use the feta cheese. (made from goats milk).

So, are you ready to make your “feel good” diet salad? I know, I am. So, let’s start shopping and getting all the ingredients under the title called…

The Best Basil Pesto Bonbons

Yield: Serving 3 people
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Homemade the best basil pesto bonbons - super easy to make.The ingredients are simple. Basil, spinach, garlic and a few others.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 4 cups spinach, fresh and organic
  • 9 cloves of garlic
  • 3/4 cup organic olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

    Wash the basil with cold water then dry. (unless you bought pre-washed basil)

    Then using your kitchen knife chop the basil, spinach and garlic.

    Your next step is to transfer basil, spinach and garlic into the food processor.

    Add salt and ground black pepper. (I used 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. You can use to your taste)

    Close the lid of the food processor and pulse a several times.

    While the food processor is running, start adding the organic olive oil while the processor is running.

    IMPORTANT NOTE 1: S-L-O-W-L-Y add the olive oil.

    IMPORTANT NOTE 2: Occasionally stop to scrap down the sides of your favorite food processor.

    Continue processing until all ingredients are well blended.

    If desired, you can thin out the pesto with more olive oil. It is really your choice.

    So, be sure to taste your basil pesto and add a pinch of salt or pepper if you want to.

    Then transfer the mixture into the measuring cup. (I like to use 4 cups measuring cup)

    The next step is your choice. (again, you are free...at least with 5 star cookies)

    You can transfer basil pesto into the glass jar or you can chose the option 2.(check below)

    OPTION 2 - CANDY MOLD FOR BASIL BONBONS

    I used pink bonbons candy mold.

    Pour the basil pesto into the mold.

    Transfer to the freezer until frozen.

    Then transfer basil pesto bonbons into a freezer bag.

    Enjoy and share.

Notes

STORAGE FOR THE BEST BASIL PESTO

In a glass jar in the fridge – Fill a jar to the top. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and seal closed to keep pesto green. You can store it for about 2 weeks if you continue to cover the top with the best organic olive oil.

Ice cube tray – place basil pesto into ice cube tray and freeze. Then use frozen pesto cubes and store in plastic freezer bags.

Bonbons Candy Mold - pour the basil pesto into to candy mold. Transfer to the freezer until frozen or for a few hours. Then remove from the mold, wrap each basil bonbons into plastic wrap, then into the freezer bag. You can keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Important: Be sure to write the date on the freezer bag.

Milka chocolate is the perfection. From lilac color to the Milka cow this is the chocolate you can’t say NO to. I know I can’t. I love, love this chocolate made from cocoa beans, sugar and milk that is 100% Alpine. There are many, many different kind of Milka chocolate: Hazelnuts, White, Strawberry, Oreo and so on.

ACTION TIME

Making Milka Chocolate Torta-Crazy for Chocolate

Ingredients

6 egg whites

6 TBSP sugar

3 TBSP flour

3 1/2 TBSP hazelnuts, ground

For the Ferrero Layer use this LINK

Milka Chocolate Torte Filling

6 egg yolks

3 Dr. Oetker Vanilla Pudding

1 cup sugar

3 TBSP flour

4 cups of milk

2 hazelnuts Milka chocolate (200 gr)

1 white Milka chocolate (100 gr)

1 cup butter, unsalted and room temperature

2 cups heavy cream

Optional: Whip It

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Line bottoms of two 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper. (do not grease the sides or the bottom).

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Add flour and hazelnuts into the plastic bowl. Stir and set aside.

Then find your favorite mixing bowl.

Add egg whites, mix until foamy and then add sugar and mix until firm peaks and sugar is incorporated.

Your next step is to add the mixture of the flour and hazelnut.

IMPORTANT: You are not going to use the mixer at this point.

Stir egg mixture and flour mixture using your favorite spatula.

Stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain.

Important: Be sure the flour is incorporated.

Pour the batter into 6 inch prepared pan

I used 1 3/4 cups for each baking pan.

Bake at 350 F until done. (start checking after 10 minutes)

Remove from the oven and cool.

How to make the Milka chocolate filling?

Add 6 eggs yolks and sugar into the mixing bowl. Mix for about 3 minutes.

Then add 3 Dr. Oetker Vanilla pudding, flour and 1/2 cup milk. (room temperature).

Mix until all ingredients are incorporated. (another minute or two)

Meanwhile, add 3 1/2 cup cold milk into large pot.

Bring the milk to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the egg/pudding mixture.

Return to heat and stir non stop for about 3 minutes or until thickness.

Remove from heat, find 2 bowls and pour half of the filling into each bowl.

Then to the bowl number 1 add hazelnuts Milka chocolate and stir until chocolate is incorporated.

To the bowl 2 add the white chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted and happy.

Your next step is to cover each bowl with plastic wrap and let it cool.

While the filling is cooling, mix the butter. Set aside.

When chocolate filling (or the filling with the hazelnuts chocolate) is cooled add half of the mixed butter. (1/2 cup butter). Mix until incorporated. (2 to 3 minutes if using KitchenAid mixer)

Then to the white chocolate filling add half of the mixed butter. (or 1/2 cup). Mix it.

After that you need to mix heavy cream and whip it until you get thick whip cream.

So, you just made 3 filling for your best chocolate torte.

You made: chocolate or dark filling, white filling and your third one is the heavy cream.

BTW, you are almost done.

Your next step is to build the best MILKA chocolate torte you can imagine.

ASSEMBLY OF THE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Using the same 6 inch removable pan start building the cake. (or 8 inch if you bake the cake in 8 inch pan)

Place 1 cake layer (made of egg whites)

Then add chocolate (brown) filling + white chocolate filling + heavy cream

Second Layer or Ferrero Cake (picture 4 below)

White chocolate (yellow) filling + hazelnut chocolate filling (dark filling) + heavy cream

3rd cake layer (made of egg whites)

At this point transfer the torte into the freezer. (for a few hours or overnight)

This cake is so tall it can play the basketball. (Hello Jokic we have the challenge for you?)

Since this cake is so tall I needed to build the wall around the cake pan. It was done by using the aluminum foil. As you can see it is not the perfect. (and the purpose of baking fun is not to be the perfect at the every stage. However, when you are eating it, this is the perfect chocolate cake)

After a few hours or next day

For the next step you will need the knife. Use the knife to cut extra filling around the cake.

And you almost (just) made the perfect cake. See the picture 3.

THE FINAL STEP – DECORATION

Cover the whole torte with heavy cream and decorate with hazelnuts, shaved chocolate.

Enjoy and share.

Review the Steps

-make 2 cake layers using egg whites, sugar, flour and hazelnuts

-1 layer make using the Ferrero torte recipe ( you will make 2 layers from the recipe, you will need only one for this recipe. The second one you can freeze or just make another mini Ferrero torte)

-prepare two filling: one is made with hazelnuts chocolate and the other with white chocoalte

-mix heavy cream and whip it

-assembly your cake

-decorate as you wish

Since we still can’t travel 5 star cookies is bringing you the most chocolaty and coffee recipe called Bicerin.

Yes, I know. You never heard about it. Or maybe you did…Who cares. You are here and you are willing to learn more. More about the recipe that is so famous in Europe…

So, let me start with the title …

Bicerin Italian Coffee Drink for you

DESCRIPTION

Bicerin is a very traditional hot drink from Italy or to be more specific, it is from Turin. It is made of three very important layers: shot of espresso, layer of liquid chocolate and the final touch is cream that has been whipped slightly so that it floats. Can you feel the happiness in the air?

Of course you can. It is all because of the heavenly coffee drink full of chocolate, heavy cream and espresso. Life is good even if we can’t travel to Italy.

What is the most important when making the best coffee drink Bicerin?

I have to say the number 1 is good quality coffee. Yes, it is essential so please select your favorite brand name when making espresso at home.

BTW,this is my take on Bicerin and if you guessed that I will do it my way, you are right. And my way means way more whipped cream … more chocolate and so on…

ACTION TIME

Bicerin Italian Coffee Drink

Ingredients

6 oz good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 TBSP icing sugar (optional)

3/4 cup espresso coffee

INSTRUCTIONS

Your next step is to melt the chocolate.

Using a double boiler method melt the chocolate. (Be sure that chocolate is not in contact with water)

Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.

Fold in the icing sugar to taste. (I used 1 TBSP)

Once the chocolate is melted you can start building your dream coffee drink.

Place the shot of espresso in the bottom.

Then slowly pour the melted chocolate.

Top with a nice swirl of the freshly made heavy cream.

And there you have it. Your homemade Bicerin ready to taste.

Quick Note

Chocolate – use good quality, dark chocolate with 70% cocoa. For this recipe I used Lindt chocolate.

Heavy Cream – 33% or higher. Needs to be cold.

Serving glass cups – bicerin must be served in small glasses or transparent glass cups. Why? Because you want to see all 3 layers of happiness. (if you don’t have it, use what you have)
