Family Halloween Fun - Ghost Meringue Recipe

Family Halloween Fun - Ghost Meringue Recipe I make this recipe every year for my family and for Halloween parties and it is always a big hit! It's great because the recipe is easy and the treats come out lite and tasty.

It's also a great Halloween project to do with the kids, because they can get creative with the shapes and decorations. In our house our favorite Halloween meringue cookie shapes are ghosts and bones, but the possibilities are endless. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups of sugar 5 egg whites at room temperature 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar pinch of salt 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to taste Black gel icing Directions Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 220 degrees fahrenheit. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar with mixer until soft peaks form, this could take from two to five minutes. I alwys use a Kitchenaid standing mixer but a hand mixer will work as well. Gradually add sugar while also gradually increasing the mixing speed to medium. Add vanilla extract and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon the mixture into a cake or pastry piping bag with a 1/4 - 1/2 inch tip or with a plastic bag and cut off a 1/4 - 1/2 inch tip at the corner of the bag. Pipe a swirl to make a ghost and repeat until the cookie sheets are filled. Bake for one hour. Then, turn off heat and allow the cookies to sit for at least an hour. Do not open oven at any time during the baking process. Use black gel icing to make eyes and mouths on the ghosts. Carefully remove cookies from parchment paper and enjoy them while they are fresh or store in an airtight container. If you want to make meringue bones, simply pipe a 3-4 inch line and add two balls to the end of each. Recipe yields 3-4 dozen. Family Halloween Fun - Ghost Meringue Recipe

Filipino Recipes - Sans Rival Cake Recipe - Pinoy Food

Whenever I hear the word Sans rival, I always remember my high school best friend who gave her crush the same secret name because it is her favorite cake. Imagine a boy named Sans Rival... can't help but giggle at the thought.

Sans rival is a cake that you would like to have every day, unless you are trying to slim down. It is creamy, tasty, sweet, with bits and pieces of cashew nuts that makes the cake even more delightfully delicious. I tried baking it myself using this recipe that I got from no other than my best friend. Yes, the same one I mentioned earlier.

Sugar Free Cookie Recipes

Ingredients:
8 egg whites 1 cup sugar 1½ cups cashew nuts (finely chopped)

Filling:
8 egg yolks 1 cup sugar ½ cup water 1 tsp corn syrup 1/3 lb fresh butter ½ cup cashew nuts (chopped)

Cooking Procedure:
Beat egg whites until stiff and foamy. Add 1 cup sugar gradually, beating continuously, until you see soft peaks formed. Add finely chopped cashew nuts. Grease four cookie sheets which are 9x14 inch in size and dust lightly with flour. Pour mixture into 4 sheets  and spread thin. Bake in preheated oven 300ºF for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookie sheets and set aside to cool. Put 1 cup sugar, ½ cup water and 1 teaspoon corn syrup in saucepan and set to boil without stirring. When thick enough to form a soft ball when dropped in a saucer of water, remove from heat and set aside to cool. Beat egg yolks until lemon-colored. Add syrup little by little, beating well. Melt butter to creamy consistency and when syrup mixture is sufficiently cool, add little by little while continuing to cream. Spread butter mixture on the layers and put together, one on top of the other, sandwich fashion. Spread more butter mixture to the top layer and sides and sprinkle with cashew nuts, Wrap in wax paper and chill before serving.

Low Fat Key Lime Cheesecake Recipe, Very Low Fat Content, And Sugar Substitute Can Be Used

This is a low fat key lime cheesecake recipe. If you are a cheesecake fan, I would strongly recommend this recipe. If you are a diabetic then this would be a good recipe to try as well. You can substitute the sugar with Splenda and it is still a great recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Ingredients to make to the crust:

Sugar Free Cookie Recipes

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup of fat free margarine, or butter if you must

Ingredients to make the cheesecake filling:

16 ounces fat free sour cream

3 packages of 8 ounces of room temperature fat free cream cheese

1/4 Cup of fat free milk

1 cup sugar or sugar substitute

2 teaspoons of a good vanilla bean paste

1/3 cup of key lime juice

1 9" spring cheesecake pan

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 inch spring form pan with cooking spray. You will mix your graham crackers and margarine, or butter. Mix until incorporated. You will then want to add your graham cracker crumb mixture very evenly over bottom or your spring pan. In a large stainless steel mixing bowl you will mix together the fat free cream cheese, sugar or sugar substitute, and vanilla bean paste. I will start out on a low speed, until blended. I will then increase the speed and whip the mixture until it is very creamy, and smooth. After the first set if ingredients are incorporated, I will add my key lime juice and continue to mix thoroughly. Then you will add the milk, and finish mixing all items together until it is very smooth in texture. If your mixture is too runny, you may want to add more cream cheese.

**Helpful tips**

You can use a food processor if you like, if you do not have a hand held mixer. I prefer a hand held because it is easier on the clean-up.

Ready to bake off your Key Lime Cheesecake: After you have your spring pan ready, and your filling made it is time to put them together. You will need to get a spatula to scrape the bowl after you pour the creamy filling into prepared pan. You will scrape any extra filling into the pan, unless you want to sample your filling. This is not a bad idea. You can adjust for any flavorings you would like to add at this time. Some prefer a sweeter taste, or maybe more vanilla or Key lime juice. So, you can add at this time to suit your needs.

You will then need to add your cheesecake filling into the spring pan. After the filling is in the spring pan you will transfer the spring pan, to larger pan and add a water bath. The water will need to be about 1-2 inches up the side of the spring pan to prevent burning. You will need to check after about 30 minutes, and bake until center puffs and is almost set. Remove from oven, and the water bath. If you have a cooling rack let cool until cool to the touch, and then put into the refrigerator and chill completely. You can add fruit to your dish if you like for garnish. It makes a beautiful presentation if you decide to do so. I hope that you enjoy this dessert recipe.
