No-bake cheesecake

Cheesecake is a dessert consisting of a topping made of soft, fresh cheese, usually on a crust or base made from biscuit, pastry or sponge cake. They may be baked or unbaked. Cheesecakes are frequently sweetened with sugar and may be flavored or topped with fruit, nuts, fruit sauce and/or chocolate.

Chocolate Butterfly Cupcakes

Last week I bought a book with 100 cupcake recipes and tried one. Here's the receipt:

Ingredients (for 10 - 12 pieces):

For the dough you need:	For the chocolate cream
125 g margarine	80g butter
125 g sugar	125 g icing sugar
150 g  flour	25 g dark chocolate
2 ½ tee spoon baking powder
2 eggs (size L)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
25 g dark chocolate, melted
icing sugar, for dusting

Tip: All ingredients should be at room temperature. Therefore you have to take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before you begin baking the cupcakes.

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cover a muffin tin with 12 paper baking cups. If you do not have paper cups, no problem, then you must only grease muffin tin with butter. If you do not have a muffin tin but only paper cups, then put the paper cups in 2 layers on a baking plate.

 

Mix the margarine with sugar for 5 minutes.

Then add the eggs (first the first egg - stir - and then add the 2nd).

Mix flour with baking powder and add to the dough and stir.

Add the cocoa.

Melt chocolate and add.

Fill the paper baking cups with dough up to ¾.

Bake for 15 minutes in the oven and or bake until they pass the toothpick test. Remove from the oven and rest for 2 minutes. Allow to fully cool down on a wire rack (or plate).

 

For the filling beat in the meantime the butter until it is fluffy. Add the icing sugar and stir until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and mix well.

 

The cream was too sweet for my test so the next time I'll use less sugar.

Once the cupcakes are cold, cut a cover with a sharp knife and cut it in half. Put a little chocolate cream on the cupcakes and arrange the 2 halves of the cover as butterfly wings.

And the just serve!

Guacamole

Guacamole, a dip made from avocados, is originally from Mexico. The trick to perfect guacamole is using good, ripe avocados. I have used it as a dip for homemade chips, but you can also eat it as a spread. And here's the recipe.

If you do not like to eat the chips that are found in shops but are still looking for an alternative, then I have just the right thing for you.
