The Famous Woolworth Ice Box Cheesecake

0

Looking for a dessert that’s both delicious and light? Here’s a lemony treat that’s easy to whip up. Whether it’s for a potluck or just a surprise for your family, this dessert will have everyone coming back for seconds!

About This Recipe:

When it comes to baked cheesecakes, the tartness of lemon juice often softens with the oven’s heat. For this no-bake Lemon Icebox Cheesecake, inspired by Cook’s Country, we reduced the lemon juice for a balanced flavor. The inclusion of lemon curd provides a zesty kick without resorting to zest or lemon extract. The twist? We use lemon cookies, not graham crackers, to give that extra lemony touch to the crust.

Ingredients:

1 package (3 ounce) lemon Jell-O

1 cup boiling water

8 ounces cream cheese

1 cup granulated sugar

5 tablespoons lemon juice

1 can (12 oz) Carnation Evaporated milk, well chilled

Graham crackers, crushed (for base and topping)

Directions:

In a bowl, dissolve the lemon Jell-O in boiling water. Allow it to cool until it’s slightly thickened.

In another bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Once the Jell-O is ready, add it to this mixture and blend well.

In a separate bowl, whip the chilled Carnation milk until it turns fluffy. Gradually incorporate the cream cheese and Jell-O mixture, continuing to beat until well-combined.

Take a 9 x 13-inch pan and layer the bottom with crushed Graham crackers.

Pour the creamy filling over the cracker base, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Finish by sprinkling a generous layer of crushed Graham crackers on top.

Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow it to chill until set.

Serve this delightful lemony dessert chilled and enjoy the refreshing flavors with each bite!

Easy Cream Cheese Cookies

0

There’s something magical about the delicate balance of sweetness and tanginess in these fluffy cream cheese cookies. One bite, and they simply dissolve in your mouth, leaving behind the entrancing dance of vanilla and cream cheese on your palate.

My love for cream cheese isn’t a secret. Be it the moist layers of a Carrot Cake, the rich allure of Red Velvet Cupcakes, or the classic charm of a Homemade Red Velvet Cake, cream cheese has always been the star. So, when I say these cookies have captured my heart, it’s a profound confession. They’re dreamy soft—much like clouds—with a flavor profile that’s immaculately balanced: not overly sweet, but just right, graced by the harmonious notes of cream cheese and vanilla.

These aren’t just any cream cheese mints; they’re the absolute BEST you’ll ever savor! This straightforward recipe offers delectably soft, melt-in-your-mouth mints, making each bite an indulgent experience.

Ingredients:

½ Cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)

3 oz. regular cream cheese (at room temperature)

1½ Cups confectioner’s sugar

½ tsp baking powder

1 egg (at room temperature)

½ tsp pure vanilla extract

1¾ Cups all-purpose flour

Superfine sugar or caster sugar, for dredging

Instructions:

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.

Creaming Process: In a mixer bowl, blend the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually incorporate sugar and continue beating until you achieve a fluffy consistency.

Adding the Essentials: Blend in the egg. Subsequently, add the flour, baking powder, and vanilla to the mixture, ensuring a well-integrated dough.

Chill Out: Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 1 hour. This makes it easier to handle.

Shape and Bake: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat them with superfine sugar or caster sugar. Arrange on the prepared cookie sheet, ensuring at least 1½ inches spacing between each. Gently flatten each dough ball before baking to achieve a consistent shape and texture. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until you notice a slight golden hue on the edges. Remember, they should appear a tad under-baked for that perfect chewiness.

Cooling Time: Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 1 minute before transferring them to wire racks for complete cooling.

Final Touch: If you’re feeling extra fancy, lightly sprinkle the cooled cookies with powdered sugar. But tread lightly; their inherent sweetness shines on its own.

This recipe yields roughly 2 dozen cookies. Store them in an airtight container, and they’ll remain fresh and delectable for 3-5 days.

INDIAN FRYBREAD RECIPE

0

If you’re in the mood for something that’s a delightful combination of soft, fluffy, and balances the sweetness with a hint of savory, then let’s dive into the flavorsome world of Indian cuisine with the delightful Indian Frybread.

INDIAN FRYBREAD RECIPE

Ingredients:

2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Maida)

1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 tablespoons Yogurt

1 tablespoon Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Salt

Water (as needed for kneading)

Oil (for deep frying)

Steps to Create the Perfect Indian Frybread:

Ingredients:

2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Maida)

1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 tablespoons Yogurt

1 tablespoon Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Salt

Water (as needed for kneading)

Oil (for deep frying)

Steps to Create the Perfect Indian Frybread:

Start by taking a spacious mixing bowl and add your flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Give these dry ingredients a good stir.

Introduce the yogurt to your dry mix. Begin kneading, and slowly add water as you go along until your dough is just right.

Dedicate around 5-7 minutes to knead the dough until it’s smooth, supple, and elastic.

Cover your masterpiece with a moist cloth and let it sit for about an hour. This will give it some time to rise, and the gluten will work its magic.

Post-resting, mold the dough into even balls, about the size of golf balls.

Prepare a deep frying pan with oil and bring it to heat. Meanwhile, roll each dough ball into thin discs.

A little tip: To see if your oil is ready for frying, pop a tiny piece of dough into it. If it floats up almost instantly, you’re good to go.

Gently place the rolled dough into the oil. Use a slotted spoon to press it slightly, ensuring it puffs up beautifully.

Fry until each side has a lovely golden hue.

Using your slotted spoon, lift the bread out, letting it rest on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Enjoy your Indian Frybread fresh and hot! Pair it with Chole (a spicy chickpea curry) or simply sprinkle some powdered sugar or drizzle honey over it for a sweet twist.

Pro Tips:

A well-kneaded dough is the secret to achieving that dreamy softness in the frybread.

Keep an eye on your oil’s temperature. Too hot and your bread might not puff, too cold and it’ll turn oily.

Always rest the freshly fried bread on paper towels to keep it crisp and non-greasy.

To make the brownie batter, just follow the directions on the box. Then, pour the batter into a 12×9-inch pan that has been buttered.

Set oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, the cake is baking.

Put it on a wire rack to cool once you’ve taken it out of the oven. When cool, slice into 3-quarter-inch-thick slices. The peanut butter cups should be halved and used as a garnish. Place aside.

In a large bowl, beat the pudding with the milk for 2 minutes. A thick mixture is the desired consistency. Put in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. And combine thoroughly. Mix in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping.

5th Step

Place one-third of the brownies in a glass dish that holds 5 quarts. Top with the remaining peanut butter cups and a third of the pudding.
