How to finish off a perfect dinner night with a mouth watering chocolate after dinner snack: Chocolate Oreo Truffles

Chocolate oreo truffels

For this recipe, we’re using 36 Oreo cookies. The type/flavor of Oreo makes a difference, as the amount of cream filling can vary—more on this below.

Cream Cheese: You need 8 ounces (226g) of full-fat brick cream cheese, not the spreadable kind from a tub. Let it soften to room temperature so it will mix easily with the Oreo crumbs.

Melted Chocolate: Using real chocolate (not candy melts) for coating makes for the best-tasting, richest Oreo truffles. Chop up high-quality bars of baking chocolate. Do not use chocolate chips—the stabilizers in them prevent them from melting smoothly.

Vegetable Oil or Coconut Oil: Just a small amount of oil mixed in with the chocolate thins it out to make it easier to dip/coat the Oreo balls.

A food processor or blender grinds the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have one, you can place the Oreos in a plastic zipped-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The whole cookie, cream filling and all.

Combine the crumbs with softened cream cheese. You can do this with a stand mixer or a hand mixer; or even just do it all in your food processor, if it’s large enough to accommodate the Oreo crumbs plus the cream cheese.

Next, scoop the mixture and roll into balls. You can use a cookie scoop for this, but I usually just use a Tablespoon. Scoop about a Tablespoon of the Oreo truffle filling (about 18–22g), and use your hands to roll it into a ball. The mixture is very wet, but should still be roll-able. If it seems overly wet, refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes and then try again.

Place the Oreo balls on a plate or small baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or in the freezer for 30 minutes. You could also make these a day ahead and refrigerate, then dip them the next day.

Why do we chill the Oreo balls? You want the truffles cold and solid as you dip them into chocolate. If they are room temperature or still soft, they will fall apart in your warm melted chocolate.

If you can, keep half of them in the refrigerator while you start dipping the other half in chocolate, because they can soften up quickly while sitting out. This makes coating them in chocolate a lot easier.

Enjoy your after dinner snack!

A trifle consists of both soft and crunchy layers put on top of each other in a glass or ceramic cup for serving. For this recipe you can switch things up for dietry requirements/preferences. The traditional English food trifle is a layered which contains custard, sponge fingers, sherry soaked cake, fruit, jam and whipped cream.

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

• 50g (2 oz) chocolate flavour Angel Delight

• 300ml (1/2 pt) semi-skimmed milk

• 200g (7 oz) brownies (you can make the brownies yourself or shop buy)

• 400g (2/3 pt) double cream

• 100g (4 oz) chocolate

𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

1) In a bowl, prepare the Angel Delight pudding according to package instructions using the milk.

2) Whip the cream in another bowl until soft peaks form.

3) Crush the chocolate into small pieces and place in another bowl. 

4) Crumble the brownies into a large bowl.

5) You are now ready to assemble the trifle. Ideally, you should use portion sized jars or containers. 

6) Start layering the pudding by placing the brownies in the base, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, and cream. 

7) Repeat the process by adding as many layers as you can and top with chocolate when the container is full.

Just to note - Angel Delight is a well known brand for chocolate pudding but shops stock their own no name brand as well!

If you don’t have time to prepare your own brownies, you can also consider using cookies, sponge fingers, waffles, wafers etc. Whether it be chocolate or golden vanilla cookies, they’ll both taste great!

𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩:

• Mascarpone – this would almost make your dish tiramisu-like. Just need a bit of coffee

• Cream Cheese – your dish would be like a cheesecake in a cup. Simply delicious!

• Crème Fraiche – with acidity, it will cut through the richness of the chocolate. Great with fruit

•Vanilla, caramel or chocolate pudding – just reuse the pudding if you are fan of the Angel Delight

• Fruit coulis – can use these to make your dish lighter, less intense on the calorie count.

• Caramel – rich, intense flavour that will add an extra something

Wonka (2023) Movie Review

I went to see the new Wonka movie over the weekend and I highly recommend it! First off, it’s a musical! The marketing for the movie here hasn’t been making that clear at all which is a shame because it’s delightful! The movie made me cry and laugh out loud right off the bat. It’s the first movie that’s made me feel like that in a while. If you loved the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder you’ll like this one! It’s got the same vibe and spirit to it and the characters feel like ones you’d find in a Roald Dahl novel. It’s a great movie to take your kids too as well!

SPOILERS AHEAD!

In the film, Willy Wonka is an aspiring magician, inventor, and chocolatier. He arrives in Europe to establish his chocolate shop at the Galeries Gourmet. Armed with nothing but a hatful of dreams, he manages to change the world, one delectable bite at a time. He arrives in Paris and after using up his meager savings is coerced into staying at Mrs. Scrubitt's Boarding House by a man named Bleacher who turns out to be her henchman.

After falling into misfortune, he hatches an escape plan and with the help of his newfound friends finds a way to finally bring his chocolates to the masses and free himself and his friends from captivity and oppression. The movie is designed to be a prequel to the 1971 Classic but set in Paris and depending on your interpretation either pre-dates Wonka’s arrive in England or is set in an alternative timeline or universe.

This movie pulled on my heart strings and made me genuinely cry within the first few minutes. It also made me laugh hysterically! The comedic timing was great, and Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa was hilarious! I loved the back story they created for the Oompa Loompas about how they came to work for him and why they’re so loyal. It was way funnier and a lot less offensive than I was anticipating. I was worried they’d create a back story for them that would come across as prejudice and offensive, but they didn't. They found a way to make the interactions between Wonka and Hugh Grant’s character funny without being offensive.

What really makes the movie work is Timothée Chalamet’s performance. It turns out he’s a surprisingly good singer and you definitely buy him as Wonka! He brings the same sort of mischievous spirit and kindness to the role that Wilder did but puts his own spin on it. Calah Lane, the actress who plays Noodle, his main collaborator in the film, was excellent! She’s definitely one to watch! The movie featured Colour Blind Casting similar to how characters in the Shonda Rhimes universe are cast. So think Bridgerton meets Whimsical Musical. Speaking of which, Abigail the giraffe totally stole the show! An excellent addition to be sure!

The supporting cast was fantastic! Jim Carter, best known as the Butler from Downton Abbey plays an Accountant; Rowan Atkison, best known as Mr. Bean, plays a corrupt chocaholic priest, and Mathew Baynton from Horrible Histories plays a chocolate shop owner who’s a member of the city’s chocolate cartel. Fellow Horrible Histories alum Simon Farnaby plays Basil, a bamboozled Zoo security guard, Colin O'Brien from Dear Edward plays a young Willy Wonka, and Sally Hawkins plays his mother.

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith does an excellent job of playing a police officer with a conscience working in a corrupt system overrun by chocoholics! Keegan-Michael Key plays the corrupt and totally inept Chief of Police, and Olivia Coleman rounds out the cast as the despicable Mrs. Scrubitt! Part of the reason the characters feel so authentic to Dahl’s work is because they are based on characters from other stories of his. Paul King, the Director, worked closely with the Dahl Estate, and Dahl’s grandson Luke Kelly served as a Producer. The trio of villains known as the Chocolate Cartel were inspired by Boggis, Bunce, and Bean from the Fantastic Mr. Fox and the character of Mrs. Scrubbit was inspired by Dahl's short story The Landlady.

Some of my favourite lines of the film were:

“Judgement has come in the most unexpected way!”

“It's a ruined castle.”

“That does defy explanation.”

“Shouldn’t we be focusing on all those unsolved murders?”

“He doesn’t even work here!”

I thought the movie did a really good job of depicting Parisian culture and how expensive everything is! In real life Paris is beautiful but there are so many things that the movies get wrong about what Paris, France as a whole, and French culture is actually like. In real life, things in Paris are very expensive, you have to be warry of pick pockets, and you have to be careful as many of the people you’ll see have an angle or are trying to get something from you or make money off you. I loved that they found comedic ways to show that while also highlighting just how beautiful and charming the city can be.

I found the back story as to why Wonka hates Slugworth so much and their rivalry really interesting. I wasn’t expecting it and I was pleasantly surprised. The implication from the film, if you take it to be a prequel, is that while Slugworth’s co-conspirators Fickelgruber and Prodnose were finished for good after being exposed he eventually rebuilt his empire which is why the rivalry between himself and Wonka continued. I did find it strange that when they went looking for Noodle’s mom, they just went down the list of people with that name instead of starting with the librarians and book shop clerks in town when they know she was a bookworm based on what Slugworth told them.

I loved the castle building sequence at the end! Although I was a bit disappointed as I thought we were going to see how Wonka expanded his operation to London at the end. FYI there’s a cute little bonus scene soon after the credits start so stick around for that! I loved the epilogue song and them taking the time to tell us that there was going to be bonus content and a post-credits scene right after the bat so you didn’t have to sit and wait for it. If you like musicals and loved the original movie I really recommend this one!

Until next time!

"Gods, please tell me it's not another one of your pranks."

"Oh, no no. Not this time. See, I was out shopping earlier today and I happened to stumble across a giant five pound chocolate bar. Since Laurel is such a huge chocaholic, who wants to see if she can eat the whole thing?"

"...You're kidding, right?"

Lava cake recipe

As promised: a quick lava cake that will make your chocolate loving heart melt!

Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for greasing the ramekins

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the ramekins

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably 66% cacao Valrhona, chopped (about 1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons)

2 large eggs, room temperature

2 large egg yolks, room temperature

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins. Tap out excess flour. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Step 2:

Fill a medium saucepan with water to a depth of 1 inch; bring to a boil over medium-high, and reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer. Combine chocolate and butter in a medium-size heatproof bowl, and set bowl over simmering water in pan, making sure bottom of bowl doesn’t touch water. Cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a simmer, until chocolate mixture is melted and smooth, 16 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Step 3:

Beat the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed until thickened and pale, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4:

Whisk melted chocolate until smooth.

Step 5:

Quickly fold melted chocolate mixture and flour into egg mixture in bowl until well combined and no streaks remain.

Step 6:

Spoon batter into prepared ramekins (about 1/2 cup per ramekin) and smooth the top using a small offset spatula if needed. Place baking sheet with ramekins in the preheated oven, and bake until tops of cakes are just set and edges spring back when touched but centers still feel soft, about 9 to 12 minutes.

Step 7:

Remove cakes from oven and let cool in ramekins on baking sheet for 1 minute. Working with one ramekin at a time, cover ramekin with an inverted dessert plate. Carefully turn over, and let stand 10 seconds before lifting the ramekin to unmold cake. Repeat unmolding procedure with remaining cakes. Serve immediately.

Enjoy baking chocaholics!

𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱

Spoil yourself with a decadently delicious treat with this Easy Millionaire's Shortbread recipe. With buttery layers of crumbly shortbread, sticky caramel made with creamy Carnation Condensed Milk and rich dark and white chocolate, these little squares really hit the jackpot!

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

• 250g Shortbread biscuits, crushed

• 55g Butter, melted

• 150g Dark brown soft sugar

• 150g Butter

• 397g Carnation Condensed Milk

• 200g Dark chocolate

• 55g White chocolate

You will also require -

20cm brownie tin, lined with baking parchment with extra paper overhanging the edges

𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

1) Put the crushed biscuits into a bowl with the melted butter. Mix it together thoroughly, then press the mixture into the base of your tin. Chill for ten minutes.

2) Gently heat the sugar and remaining butter in a heavy based, non-stick pan, stirring until melted.

3) Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Cook for around a minute or until the filling has thickened.

4) Pour the caramel over the base, then allow to cool. Once cooled, chill in the fridge or freeze until set.

5) Melt the chocolate in separate bowls. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel and then add spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate. Swirl together with a spoon for a marbled effect that'll ensure your millionaire's shortbread recipe looks as good as it tastes.

6) Place back into the fridge to chill until set. Once set, remove from the tin, dip a sharp knife into hot water (this will make it much easier to cut) and then dry it briefly before using it to cut the shortbread into squares.

7) These scrumptious squares are great to share with friends but if you do have any left over you can keep them for up to two weeks. Simply put in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. Enjoy!

Notes:

If you're in a hurry, you can also put the tin in the freezer to chill and set each layer. Another suggestion - using extra baking parchment to hang over the edges of the tin as you'll be able to lift your finished millionaire's shortbread out with more ease
