Brownie Batter Dip


It's pot luck time again, and if you're anything like me, you're looking for something "different" to take.  I always take desserts, because I find them easier to transport, and while I love a good cupcake, I always want to try something different, and I love anything I can dip a graham cracker in, or any excuse to eat Vanilla Wafers like I'm 3 years old!

Granted, this Brownie Batter Dip is old news on Pinterest, I'd never actually seen anyone I know in real life try this, giving it great Pot Luck potential!  I could not get over how much this tasted like brownie batter, in my opinion the best part of most brownies.  And bonus, no raw eggs, making me less weary of giving my kids a spoonful to keep quiet for a few minutes!

Brownie Batter Dip
Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons flour
  • 5 Tablespoons cocoa powder (regular or Dutch-process.  I usually use Dutch)
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-4 Tablespoons milk
  • Pretzels, strawberries, marshmallows, graham crackers, vanilla wafers or whatever you want for dipping!

Directions:
Using a mixer, whip the cream cheese and butter together, about 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.  Add the powdered sugar and mix well.  Add the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla and 2 Tablespoons of milk.  Mix until smooth.

Add extra powdered sugar or milk as needed, until you get a the right consistency - soft enough to act as a dip, but not runny.

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
