Cookie and Cream Fudge

Cookie and Cream Fudge

Hello :D

School is over and I can bake!!!! I can also de-stress and relax (well, as much as you can relax in the Holidays). A couple of fudge recipes were waiting in my To Do List  and Christmas is the best time to make them (as you may see, the last 3 posts are fudges and there is still about 10 other fudge recipes I haven’t tried yet!). So here are the cookie and cream fudges. They are divine but you have to like white chocolate !

Hello everyone!

Hope you had a great week! Here is this month Daring Bakers’ challenge!

“Our October 2012 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Suz of Serenely Full. Suz challenged us to not only tackle buttery and flaky puff pastry, but then take it step further and create a sinfully delicious Mille Feuille dessert with it!”

You can get the recipe and the how to here (PDF)

My experience : I would have liked the pastry to be more airy. Mine was like compact layers. It was flaky so I guess I kind of succeeded to make the recipe, but maybe I should have omit the step 6 of baking (where you put a heavy tray on top of your pastries so that they don’t puff too much). I will definitely try other recipes and see what could have gone wrong. It was a fun challenge to do anyway! Looking forward to try it again!

For the filling, I did the White Chocolate Cream from A Village Pantry but it’s the second time I try doing such a chocolate whipped cream and both times it kind of became liquid albeit delicious :S

Have fun in the kitchen :D I’m heading over to see what the other bakers did!!

Cookie and Cream White Chocolate Mousse

Cookie and Cream White Chocolate Mousse

Hey everyone!

Hope you are all having a great time, at work, at school, at home, etc ;) I cannot say I’m having that great a time this week but vacations are coming. :D I’m going to see the ocean for the first time in my life!!! I guess at 26 it’s not too early ;) Punta Cana here we come!

This mousse was inspired by a delicious dessert we ate at Disney World, the Oreo Bon Bons. Apparently it’s one of their signature desserts and it’s available at The Cape May Cafe only (Beach Club Resort). It was very good and this mousse is too! But I found that it’s better the day after you make them!

Cookie and Cream White Chocolate Mousse

Cookie and Cream White Chocolate Mousse
Adapted from Pastry Pal 

1/2 cup milk
6 oz white chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup heavy cream
9 whole Double Stuff Oreo cookies (you can go with simple, but, you know, it’s not the same ;) )
6 Oreo cookies crumbled (without the stuff, 12 cookies in fact)
9 tiny Oreos and about 1/2 cup whipped cream to garnish

1. Prepare the mousse collar. Cut 9 pieces of wax paper of approximately 6.5 inches (16 cm) by 4 inches (10 cm). Place each Oreo Cookie in a pan line with parchment paper. Wrap a waxed paper collar around the base of each Oreo, keeping bottom flush with baking sheet (Example with Neapolitan Mousse). Secure each collar with tape. Try to make them very tight because the mousse will be runny when you pour it.
2. Bloom the gelatin. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cool water and allow to bloom
3. In a saucepan, simmer the milk. Add the gelatin and let it dissolve.
4. Pour the gelatin/milk over the white chocolate. Whisk it up until smooth.
5. Whip the cream to soft peak stage and fold a third of it in the chocolate to lighten. Fold the remaining cream and add the cookie crumbs.
6. Pour over each Oreos using a funnel.
7. Refrigerate until set then garnish with whipped cream and a tiny Oreo.
