[Yellena]

Hi ya cookers out there.
Anyone could share some delicious dessert recipes, like brownies and maybe some more housemade (from different countries) desserts too?
Will make some for my family in my b-day. =D

If nobody has a nut allergy, I know a good pecan and dark chocolate pie recipe.

[Milk And Honey]

I recommend kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls)! You will find plenty of simple recipes around the internet, and they all don't differ too much from the one I normally use, so if you want, just google it, really.

Edit: Can't find it right now, but I have a very simple recipe for an omgsogood version of an apple pie. If you're interested I can probably get it, somewhere.

[Yellena]

Nice, never heard of Kanelbullars!

And RED GANOT, I am all ears (eyes?) =D

[RED GANOT]

First, make the pastry.

180g all purpose flour
75g powdered sugar
100g cold butter in small cubes
1 egg yolk
ice water

Process the flour, sugar and butter in a food processor, use a hand blender, or rub it in with your fingers (ouch) until it looks like crumbled crumbs. Does not need to be perfect. Then, add the yolk and one spoon of water at a time until it all 'just' comes together. Remove from vessel and knead on a floured surface. It should be a bit tacky, and not fall apart. Just add more water if it's too brittle. Then, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.

150g dark chocolate (you can use milk too, and extra if you want diabeetus)
60g soft butter
140g brown sugar
150ml golden syrup (corn syrup, sweet stuff)
3 eggs beaten a little
1 spoon of vanilla essence
250g roughly chopped pecans

Grease a medium tart pan or pie dish with a little butter. Then roll the pastry out and press it in. Trim the edges. This can be a bit fiddly and I usually end up 'patching' with the dough.
Cover with cling wrap and put it in the fridge for half an hour.
Put the oven up to 180 degrees celsius. Cover the pastry with parchment paper and fill with baking weights or rice. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the weights, and set aside to cool. Don't touch the weights with your bare hands you freaking moron (learned that the hard way).

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave for 20 second zaps (stir each time).

In another bowl, beat together the sugar, syrup and butter. Then add the egg, vanilla, and chocolate. It can get a bit thick so an electric beater helps. Finally, stir in the pecans by hand.

Put this in the tart case (mine is usually almost overflowing). Bake about 30 minutes. To avoid the edges burning, put some scrunched foil around the rim of the pastry. Let it cool down and serve with whipped cream if you're a disgusting abomination to humanity, or ice cream.

EDIT: Tart pan is best with a removable base so you can shimmy that bastard out once it's done cooking. Unless you like exploded pecan glory with a hint of crust.

Ingredients - frozen waffles, chocolate syrup, peanut butter.

Put waffle in the toaster for ~2 minutes

Put a LIGHT coat of peanut butter on top of it.

Put on some chocolate syrup.

This is the most hick and cheap desert you will get - but my girlfriend and I love to make one every now and then. Just chocoolate syrup is good as well.

[Yellena]

We don't have Frozen waffles here in my country, but I can make them myself.
I like cooking from zero.
Keeping money to make a dessert class.

[Yellena]

I like to make recipes mixing fruits and daily food. Mixing flavours and so on.
In case anyone wants some creams to use with meat I can post here tomorrow.

[RED GANOT]

Is anyone else here a pressure cooker person? My 8L Hawkins just arrived yesterday and I need something delicious to take its virginity with. Taking recommendations. Especially for anything spicy!

[Drake Strongfist]

Red Ganot....Curry!

Brownies.....You want "special brownies?" *spoiler alerlt* The secret is in the butter

[RED GANOT]

You read my mind. Making murgh musallam for lunch tomorrow!
The people at the Indian Grocery always laugh and feed me the hottest chilli snacks to try and get me to admit it's too hot for me. It's a bit scary. Token white boy chilli hamster. Then I get free stuff.

I recommend kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls)!

Kanelipulla in Finnish. It must be something like this, right? Easy enough to make and generally everyone like it. Serve with coffee.

Very basic baking stuff here in Finland.

[Milk And Honey]

Yep, in Sweden, they are also mostly served when you fika, with coffee and stuff, but OMG I EAT THEM ALL THE TIME.

[Tashalar]

I make a fairly decent Chocolate Orange cake, if the feedback is to be trusted (of a chef friend trying to get my address so he can come and get more ). I'll dig out the recipe when I am not so tired.
