Happy Tuesday!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! :)

I just wanted to share a very easy and delicious recipe with you guys -- Oreo Truffles! :D

What you need and what to do:

- A package of Oreos

Put Oreos in food processor and set some aside.

If you don't have a food processor, no worries - put the Oreos in a big Ziploc bag and crush them with a pan or something of that sort. ;P

- 1 softened cream cheese

Mix the Oreo crumbs with the cream cheese.

I know that probably doesn't look too appetizing, but I promise it's going to be delicious! ;)

Form the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into balls.

- Chocolate (or white chocolate)

Melt it - either by double boiler or microwave.

Dip the Oreo-cream cheese balls into the chocolate.

The chocolate chips I used were actually a bit too sticky, but it worked out okay. Next time, I'm probably gonna use a chocolate bar instead.

After dipping them in chocolate, sprinkle your saved Oreo crumbs on top - make sure you do that right away, while the chocolate is still melted and sticky.

Refrigerate for an hour or two... and taaaaaa-daaaaa:

Delicious and pretty Oreo truffles!

These are perfect to just munch at home, serve as dessert when you have friends over, or even as a gift! I'm actually thinking of making a bunch to give my friends for Christmas -- I know it's a long time from now, but it's never too early to start planning your Christmas gifts, haha. ;)

Isn't this recipe very easy to follow? And the truffles are just delicious! :)

Do you have a different truffle recipe? Is this a recipe you might want to try?

Happy Tuesday!

It's finally beginning to feel like Summer. No more June gloom... at least I think so. ;) It's actually a good balance - not too cold, but not sweltering hot either. :)

I don’t know if you guys remember, but I mentioned in one of my older posts that next on my baking list is lemon bars. Guess what? I finally tried making lemon bars a few months ago! :D

I wasn’t able to take pictures of the whole process, but I did take a picture of the lemon bars I made. :)

Here's the recipe:

For the crust, you are going to need

1 cup flour

¼ cup confectioner's sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

½ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

For the filling, you are going to need

3 tablespoons flour

½ cup fresh lemon juice

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

A pinch of salt

You will also need confectioner's sugar for dusting.

All you have to do:

- sift flour, confectioner's sugar, and salt – transfer to food processor

- add lemon zest and pulse – add butter a few pieces at a time, process until crumbly – transfer to a square pan (foiled and greased), and press evenly into bottom and sides

- bake for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit

- whisk together flour and lemon juice – add eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and salt – whisk until smooth

- pour filling into baked crust

- reduce heat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 30 minutes

- cool – lift cookie from pan and place on cutting board

- dust with confectioner's sugar and cut into bars

And taaaaadaaaahhh, you will end up with yummy lemon bars!
