chocolate

A gathering was upon us and I wanted to whip up something easy but delicious to share with our friends. Thus, the Chocolate Brownie Trifle was made.

It is a delightfully simple recipe that requires very little hands on preparation. You simply need a trifle bowl, brownies, whipped topping, cookie or toffee pieces, and chocolate pudding!

I remember growing up on those hot summer days and getting to have popsicles. But nothing was quite as amazing as those chocolate popsicles called Puddin' Pops!
I didn't realize until fairly recently just how incredibly easy pudding pops are to make! Turns out it is literally frozen chocolate pudding. Yum!!!
So, I bought myself a popsicle mold (but you can also just use an ice cube tray) and got to work!

Congratulations to Laura P. for winning Casa de Lindquist's first ever recipe contest with a recipe for a Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Ganache frosting! While it was a bit labor-intensive, this chocolate raspberry cake is incredibly beautiful and delicious. 
I couldn't help but make a few changes to the submitted recipe so here's the modified version!  Hope you enjoy!

ONCE upon a time, I had the most incredible chocolate martini ever created.  It had a smooth, chocolate taste with a hint of irish cream and lots of delicious chocolate-flavored alcohol.  After trying several recipes and being severly disappointed with the results, I finally found a combination that is similar to that original incredible chocolate martini.  Here's hoping you also enjoy it!

I was searching around the internet one day for tasty desserts to serve at a party I was hosting and came across this amazing recipe from Taste of Home called "Tortilla Dessert Cups." I made some minor modifications and came out with one of the best desserts I've ever had. It kept well for about a week in my refrigerator and was low in calories to boot!

I was in Alaska last summer and visited a nice tourist town called Seward. While there, my sister and I wandered around and discovered this cute cafe/bakery place. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the cafe, but I do remember that they had the most incredible brownies I've ever had. I tried looking up the cafe, but I wasn't able to find the name of these delectable brownies!

My mom is a huge Pampered Chef fan and is always trying out their recipes. When she throws little get-togethers, I am fortunate enough to be invited and have the pleasure of taste-testing these delights. One of my absolute favorite recipes is called Tuxedo Cups.

I have always had a bit of a sweet tooth and nothing gets me like a really good chocolate cake or chewy delicious brownies! When my mom started making cheesecake brownies I thought I was in Heaven! They have all the delicious chewy-ness of regular brownies with the added bonus of a cheesecake-like layer. This fantastic dessert will leave your guests begging for the recipe.

My first conquest for this magnificient food blog will be a Deep Dark Chocolate Cheesecake. I have a strong love of all things chocolate and cannot imagine anything tastier than a deep dark chocolate cheesecake!
