Mini Skor Cheese Cakes!!

Dear minions!!

At the request of a very lovely young girl that I work with, I bring to you a nice little cheese cake recipe! Super simple and delicious, it is as follows!

Ingredients:

Oreo cookie crumbs (for base)

2- 8oz pkgs cream cheese
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
Skor toffee bits
Milk chocolate chips

To make the batter:
With a mixer on low speed combine both packages of cream cheese with sugar. Then add the egg and vanilla combining thoroughly. Stir in toffee bits and chocolate chips to your preference, keeping in mind that you'll add more of both to the tops, so don't go totally crazy!!

Preheat oven to 350°F

Line a muffin tray with paper muffin cups. Spoon about 1-1 1/2 tbsp of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each muffin cup, then add the batter, dividing evenly. This recipe makes about 18 mini cheese cakes. Once the batter is all divided sprinkle a few chocolate chips and more toffee bits on top of each cheese cake. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 mins or until set. Let cool in tray for a while and transfer to the fridge in an air tight container for storage. If your cheese cakes fall a bit in the middle don't get stressed out, they'll still taste amazing!!

There you have it! Delicious and super easy!!! Lovely to share with friends, or pack for snacks in lunches, these have become a regular thing in my house. Hope you all enjoy!!

Until next time darlings......

Keep kreepin'!

Vegan Berry Crumble

Dear minions!

I bring to you this day an awesome berry crumble recipe that happened by happy accident when I had a bunch of fruit that was about to go bad and a deficit of butter but a surplus of coconut oil. I had never made a crumble before but thought, "how hard can it really be? ”.

So I bring you this easy, organic, as local as can be sourced, vegan crumble recipe! The first time I made this I added a little bit of flour but in the interest of all my celiac lovelies I've omitted it, making it gluten free! Just be sure if you are claiming it as gluten free that you pay particular attention and get OATS THAT SPECIFY THEY ARE GLUTEN FREE!!!!! I can't stress that enough!

Ingredients:

Filling

2- 170g (6oz) packages organic blueberries, or  roughly 2 cups fresh picked/frozen local blueberries

1- 454g (16oz) package organic strawberries slices, or roughly 2 cups fresh picked/frozen local strawberries sliced

7 medium organic/local apples (any type you like), peeled, cored and sliced ( I peel my apples with a knife and then just roughly slice the flesh off until I get really close to the core, wow that was a morbid way to put it lol)

Cinnamon and brown sugar to taste

Crumble

3/4 cups organic virgin cold pressed coconut oil

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tbls cinnamon

2 cups organic rolled oats ( gluten free if that's what you're after), 1 cup to be mixed with the coconut oil, sugar and cinnamon and 1 cup that gets sprinkled over the top.

Cinnamon and extra brown sugar for sprinkling

Directions:
Wash all your berries, slice strawberries, peel and slice apples and mix in a 9"x12" glass casserole dish, sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar over mixed fruit to your taste preferences, I like mine not too sweet so I don't add a ton of sugar.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Next combine coconut oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar,  1 tbls cinnamon and 1 cup of rolled oats and with a fork mix together into a uniform "paste like"consistency. Crumble this mixture over the berries then cover over crumble and exposed berries with the extra cup of oats.

Place everything into the preheated oven. I bake it for about 30 minutes then remove it and sprinkle a little more cinnamon and a touch more brown sugar and continue to bake for another 30-45 minutes or until filling is bubbling and the top is slightly browned.

Then let it cool a bit and enjoy!!

Depending on the type of oven you have and the type of apples you use cooking times can vary, bubbling juices is the best way to gauge doneness in my experience!

Viola! A local/organic/gluten free dish for your next Sabbat celebration, summer pot luck, dinner party or Sunday dinner, lovely :)

Until next time darlings.........

Keep kreepin'!
