HOW TO: GIVE YOUR DESSERT A MAKEOVER WITH CHOCOLATE ART!

This weekend we had a Wild Game Feast to attend.  Where we all share our 

bounty of wild game we have harvested for the year.  

I was in charge of bringing dessert, trying to stick with the "wild game" theme of the party

I did some simple chocolate art to add a cute Elk to my cheesecake. 

It looks so impressive, yet took minimal effort!  

Trust me, if you can trace you can do this!!

• Find a picture online and print out in black & white to trace.
• Tape the picture to your counter and place a piece of wax or parchment paper over the picture.  Also tape this down so it doesn't move on you while tracing.
• Melt some chocolate chips in a sandwich bag, snip the corner to make a fine tip.
• Trace your picture!

• Once you have traced your picture to your liking, stick in the fridge to full set.
• It will only take a few minutes depending on how thick your chocolate is.

• Once set, the chocolate will easily peel right off the paper.
• Place on your dessert and impress your party guest!

LIKE THE RECIPE FOR THE CHEESECAKE?!

Chocolate Orange Cheesecake

INGREDIENTS:

Crust:

• 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo Cookies or Chocolate Graham Crackers
• 1/3 cup melted butter

Filling:

• 3 Cream cheese bricks (8oz each)
• 1 ¼ cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup whipping cream
• 1 1/2 squares of unsweetend baking chocolate
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup of Orange juice concentrate 

DIRECTIONS:

• Grease bottom but not sides of a 9 or 10 inch springform pan.
• Mix Crushed Chocolate cookies & Melted Butter
• Press into the bottom and up the sides a bit of a greased springform pan.
• In a mixer, cream the cream cheese and sugar
• Add the 3 eggs one at a time until well combined
• Then add vanilla extract and whipping cream
• Blend until smooth
• Divide mixture into 2 equal portions
• To the first half of the mixture, stir in 1 ½ squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
• Pour into bottom of the prepped springform pan.
• To the second half of the mixture, stir in the orange juice concentrate
• Carefully spoon this mixture over the top of the chocolate mixture already in the pan.
• Place the springform pan in the middle of a large baking sheet and slide into the oven
• pour warm water into the baking sheet to partially submurge the springform pan.
• This is called a water bath & keeps the cheesecake moist while baking so it does not crack.
• Bake at 325 degrees F for about 50 minutes to an hour or until the surface of the cake is no longer glossy and the center does not giggle. 
• Remove from oven and immediately run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake.  
• Do not remove from the springform pan yet!
• Place in the fridge for a few hours to fully cool and set.
• Once cooled you can release from the pan and apply your chocolate art.

WE COOK: PUMPKIN PIE SHEET CAKE

While browsing Pinterest (go figure) 

I found this awesome recipe from Jamie Cooks it Up!

Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake!

I love that she uses a yellow cake mix as the crust,

because I personally have yet to perfect the art of 

an amazing pie crust!

I can't wait to make this one this Fall!!

Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake

Time: 15 minutes prep + 60 minutes to bake

Yield: 20 servings

Recipe from my mother in law, Jill Eskelson

PRINT RECIPE 

PRINT RECIPE WITH PICTURE 

Crust:

1 yellow cake mix

1/2 C butter, melted

1 egg

Filling:

1  29 ounce can pumpkin 

1 1/2 C sugar

1 t salt

2 t cinnamon

1 t ginger

1/2 t cloves

4 eggs

2  12 ounce cans evaporated milk

 

 

1. To make the crust, pour the cake mix into your stand mixer, or medium sized mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter over the cake mix and stir it in for about 30 seconds. Add your egg and mix until all ingredients are well combined. 

2. Spray a large jello roll pan (mine is 11 1/2 by 16 1/2) with cooking spray. Press the crust into the pan. 

3. Into a small mixing bowl combine the sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. 

4. Crack the eggs into your stand mixer and beat them for about 1 minute, or until frothy. 

5. Add the sugar mixture

and the pumpkin and mix until combined.

6. Pour in the canned milk and mix until combined. 

7. CAREFULLY pour the filling over the crust. Now. Just a word to the wise here. Your pan will be full. Really full. The kind of full that just might spill over the top while you carry it to the oven, if you aren't careful. I would advise setting the crust as close to the oven as possible, then pour the filling in so you don't have very far to walk. 

8. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. 

9. Cool completely, then cut into squares and serve with whip cream.
