Coconut Cream and Chocolate Dessert

April 17, 2012 by Tiffany

I have a new thing for black bottom desserts. Chocolate layers are just so scrumptious.

First, there was Black Bottom Peanut Butter Pie.

And now there’s this dessert with a layer of coconut cream filling over over a chocolate cream cheese layer.

It’s a variation of a popular dessert that goes by many names. That recipe is often made with chocolate pudding, but can also be made with lemon. Both are wonderful. I decided to change it up by putting the chocolate in the cream cheese layer and using coconut cream pudding.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Ambrosia with a Twist of Lime – The Goodness of Sunkist Valencia Oranges in Summer

July 1, 2011 by Tiffany

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunkist for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ambrosia is a simple dish made from coconut and oranges. Something wonderful happens when you combine these two foods (kind of like the magic of peanut butter and chocolate together). I decided to give my Ambrosia a summertime flair by adding a twist of lime. So sunny and good.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cocoa Coconut Streusel

May 31, 2011 by Tiffany

The other day, I posted a list of 28 Muffins You’ll Want to Try and Terri left this comment:

Hi,
I was looking at your muffin recipes. They look yummy! I’m also looking for a coconut muffin maybe with mini choc chips added. Have you ever heard of something like that? I thought maybe replacing the liquid with coconut milk then add either maybe a streusel with toasted coconut and a drizzle of chocolate. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions? I have tried a couple of your recipes and passed on your site to some friends.
Thanks,
Terri

Oh, what a good idea! I went into the kitchen and got creative right away. These are the result. The muffin is infused with coconut flavor and studded with mini chocolate chips. The streusel topping has cocoa and coconut. Oh yeah!

German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

August 18, 2010 by Tiffany

Jim loves German Chocolate cake. I usually try to make him one for his birthday. This year, my mom mentioned this recipe which she got from my aunt.

It’s not a beautiful cake, but it is delicious with gooey sweet filling studded with coconut and pecans.

Apparently, my oldest son likes German Chocolate cakes too. I’m pretty sure he ate half the cake. 9×13 pan gone in 24 hours. Come to think of it, I’ve been noticing our food disappearing very quickly. Like the huge watermelon I cut late one evening. It was gone by lunch the next day! My son said he only had 1 bowl of it, but I think he refilled that bowl 10 times.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the cake. Maybe yours will last longer than ours.

Double Chocolate Coconut Cake Mix Cookies

June 1, 2010 by Tiffany

That’s a long title for a cookie that only has 6 ingredients. These are chocolatey and moist. The coconut makes them extra special. I used mini chocolate chips and I think they work better in this cookie than regular chocolate chips, although you can substitute if you need.

Tropical Salad

March 12, 2010 by Tiffany

This salad was perfect with the Hawaiian Grilled Chicken. It’s full of pineapple, green onions, macadamia nuts, bacon…Yum! I found the recipe on Bethany’s blog, For the Love of Grub. I made the salad on Saturday, so we could eat it Sunday after church. I mixed the dressing up, but did not add it until right before serving. [Read more...]

Coconut Cake

May 14, 2009 by Tiffany

coconut-cake-fork

Need to satisfy a sweet tooth? This is your cake. The coconut flavor is subtle, so even those who don’t like coconut will probably like it, especially if you don’t call it “coconut cake”. I seem to be on a coconut kick lately. I’m not sure what prompted it, but it’s been a yummy ride so far.

CocoNot Cookies

May 5, 2009 by Tiffany

coconot-cookies-done

Unless someone told you (like I’m about to do) that these cookies don’t have any coconut in them, you’d never know it. Why make coconut cookies without coconut? I have no idea, except they are easy and good and the ingredients are kind of novel, in a 70s way.
