Butterscotch Fudge

September 13, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

 This Popular 3 ingredient Butterscotch Fudge recipe is a MUST TRY! The fun and simple Fool Proof Creamy Fudge is Incredibly Delicious! It’s a super easy recipe that comes together in just a few minutes. It’s naturally gluten free and is the perfect treat for gifting or just sharing with the family!

Butterscotch Fudge

WHAT IS BUTTERSCOTCH FUDGE?

Butterscotch Fudge is an easy to make soft and melty candy. It is very sweet and has a creamy texture. It’s incredibly delicious!

There are generally two types of homemade fudge – sweetened condensed milk or cooking the sugar, cream, and butter. I prefer the sweetened condensed milk because it makes making fudge fool-proof and super easy. In this recipe we combined deliciously creamy butterscotch fudge with a sprinkle of salt. It’s smooth and creamy. You’ll love it!

Fudge is huge a hit on dessert tables, grazing boards, and at holiday parties. Since it keeps well at room temperature, it can sit out for a few hours on a platter.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Butterscotch Fudge:

  • If you don’t have a microwave or prefer not to use it, this recipe also works using the double-boiler method for melting chocolate.
  • Important Note: This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, not heavy cream, not half and half, nothing else will work. Trust me on this.
  • Feel free to omit the salt if needed. Plain unsalted butterscotch fudge is also delicious.
  • Make sure to use parchment paper to line your pan — it makes getting it back out of dish so much easier when you’re ready to serve it. Tin foil or plastic wrap wrap will also work if needed.
  • Add nuts to this fudge. Pecans and walnuts are both delicious in butterscotch fudge.
  • This easy butterscotch fudge is best stored in a cool, dry place. You can store it at room temperature or in the fridge. At room temperature, fudge can last for 1 to 2 weeks. It’s important to store it in an airtight container, with parchment paper or wax paper between layers, and out of the heat or sun. In the fridge homemade fudge will last a little longer, up to 3 weeks.
  • To Freeze the fudge. Wrap it tightly in parchment (cut or uncut) and then slide it into a freezer bag. Press the air out of the bag and freeze flat.

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

September 6, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Deliciously Decadent No Bake Apple Cheesecake is the best of two desserts in one! Apple Pie + Cheesecake = 1 Heavenly Dessert! It’s really quick and easy to pull together and is the perfect dessert to impress friends, family and holiday guests. Apple Pie Cheesecake is the go to dessert for any occasion! 

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

FAQ’s About Making No Bake Apple Cheesecake:

  • Is this no bake apple cheesecake gluten free? It is gluten free, though nobody would know just by tasting it – trust me!
  • Can I use homemade whipped cream? Yes, you can. But, honestly, Cool Whip holds up better because it has a stabilizing agent in it. Whipped cream is less stable, so your cheesecake may be slightly runnier.
  • How long will cheesecake keep in the fridge? Leftovers will last 3 – 4 days. After that it may become runny. Make sure to store covered in an air tight container.
  • Can I use a pre made crust for this recipe? Yes, you can although pre made gluten free pie crusts are harder to find. If you’re not on a gluten free diet, you can make this recipe with a store bought graham cracker crust, if preferred.
  • Where can I find gluten free animal cookies? I used 1 box of gluten free great value animal cookies from Walmart.
  • How long will this cheesecake stay fresh? This delicious no bake dessert can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to five days!
  • Can I use a larger pan? – I used an 8×8-inch baking pan to make the cheesecake. You can certainly use a 9- or even 10-inch square baking dish, noting that your cheesecake bars won’t be quite as thick. You may want to use more cookie crumbs as well.
  • What kind of Apple should I use to make apple cheesecake? – I use gala apples but some other apples that work great are: Granny Smith Apples, Braeburn Apples, Pink Lady Apples, Honey-crisp Apples and Golden Delicious Apples.
  • Can I Use a springform pan instead of using a square pan? – Yes, A 9-inch springform pan can be used instead of the square cake, if preferred. Pour the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and press onto bottom of pan.

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy no-bake cheesecake: (See recipe card below for full recipe)

For the Crust:

  • Animal Cookie Crumbs – gluten free
  • Butter
  • Brown Sugar

For Cheesecake Filling:

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

How Do You Make No Bake Apple Cheesecake?

Here’s how to make this deliciously easy dessert: (See recipe card below for full recipe)

Step 1: Peel, core, and chop the apples. Melt butter over medium heat. Stir in apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and cook stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until very slightly softened. In a small dish combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Add to the pan while stirring and continue to cook until apples are soft (not mushy) and filling is thickened. Let bubble 1 minute. Then cool.

Step 2: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside. To make the crust, use a food processor to grind the animal crackers into crumbs. In a mixing bowl, mix the crumbs with the melted butter and the brown sugar. Once the crumb mixture is well combined, press it into the prepared pan using the bottom of a cup. Continue pressing until the entire crust is firm. Place the prepared crust into the freezer while you make the filling.

Step 3: Make the cheesecake filling. Using a mixer and a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth. Next gently fold in the whipped topping. A rubber spatula works perfectly for this! Be careful not to knock the air out of the whipped cream. 

Step 4: Spread the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Then spread the cooled apple pie filling on top. Cover and refrigerate for  3-4 hours or until set. For best results make the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

Recipe Notes For Making The Best No Bake Apple Cheesecake:

  • Real whipped cream can be used in place of the whipped topping. Whipped cream is less stable than whipped topping, so your pie may be slightly runnier.
  • Use a different kind of cookie crumb crust, such as one made from gluten free graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or even gingersnaps taste good with lemons or limes.
  • Use store bought apple pie filling if preferred.
  • This cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Place the cheesecake in an airtight container before storing.
  • Use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese. Otherwise the cheesecake bars won’t set.
  • Pack the crust tightly into the pan. I like to use a flat bottomed glass or measuring cup to help press down the crumbs.
  • A 9-inch springform pan can be used instead of the square cake, if preferred. Pour the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan  press onto bottom of pan.

Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread

August 23, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This 5 Ingredient Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread is called “cucumber crack” because it’s highly addictive! The combination of creamy cream cheese and cool cucumber is sure to be a hit at home or at any gathering. This spread works well as a topping for crackers, or as a dip for chips or your favourite veggies. It also makes an incredible topping for burgers and sandwiches.

FAQ’s About Making Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread:

Is Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread Gluten Free? – Yes! This Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread Recipe is naturally gluten free. The spread is low carb and keto friendly as well!

How Should I Eat Cucumber Spread? – This spread works well on burgers and sandwiches, as a topping for crackers, or as a dip for chips or your favourite veggies.

What Else Can I Add to the Cucumber Spread? – You can customize it to your tastes—add in some diced onion for a savoury kick, or even some chopped herbs like parsley or dill.

How Do You Make This Spread Lighter? – Use light cream cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese to make it lighter with less calories.

Can I Make This Spread Ahead of Time? – Yes! You can absolutely make this spread ahead of time to use for a party, gathering, potluck, or snack. Let it chill out in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Can I Grate the Cucumber Instead of Dicing It? – Yes you can, although I do prefer it finely chopped rather than grated. If you prefer to grate the cucumber, you’ll need to squeeze out a little more of the water before adding to the cream cheese mix. Otherwise, the mixture will end up watery.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

RECIPE NOTES FOR MAKING THE BEST FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES:

  • The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For best results, use a smooth and creamy commercial peanut butter, like Skippy. (I do not recommend all-natural or chunky peanut butter.)
  • The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months but make sure the cookies are completely cooled, and then transfer them to an airtight container lined with parchment paper or freezer-safe bag before storing them in the freezer.
  • The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Scoop the dough into balls,  let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag. Bake as needed directly from the freezer.
  • The margarine can be left out if this recipe if preferred.
  • This recipe uses chocolate chips with usually contain dairy. That being said, you can find dairy free chocolate chips or you could skip the chocolate chips making the recipe dairy free.
  • To make the cookies vegan, substitute the egg for a flax egg, which is made by mixing together 1 tablespoon flaxseed with 2 tablespoons water and letting it rest for 5 minutes. Also use vegan chocolate chips.
  • You can bake these cookies without using parchment paper. I definitely recommend using parchment paper if possible but if you don’t have any, you can just lightly grease the pan instead.

Texas Chili Recipe

August 9, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This flavourful Texas Chili Recipe is made with tender chunks of beef, plenty of spicy seasoning, and no beans! It makes an easy dinner and is perfect for entertaining, for Game Day, or for cozy evenings with the Family.

Texas Chili Recipe

FAQ’s About Making Texas Chili Recipe:

What is the Difference Between Texas Chili and Regular Chili? – Texas Chili is made without Beans and uses stew beef instead of ground beef. It’s designed to let the flavours of beef and peppers prevail, and only uses stew beef, peppers and chili sauce.

When Should I Make Texas Chili? Texas Chili is perfect for game day, tailgate parties, cookouts and crockpots!

Can I eat Texas Chili if I’m on a Gluten Free diet? – Yes! This Texas Chili Recipe is naturally gluten free.

Can I Make a Homemade Chili Sauce Instead of Using a Store Bought One? – Yes, you can make your own chili sauce. The best peppers to use are sweet dried chiles like costeño, New Mexico, or choricero, hot dried chiles such as arbol, ancho, mulatto, ñegro, or pasilla. These peppers make a delicious chili sauce but they can be hard to find depending on where you live.

What Do You Serve Texas Chili With? – Serve the rich and flavourful chili alone or with tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, sour cream and shredded cheddar.

  • Bottle of Chili Sauce 
  • Beef Broth

  • Cumin
  • Chili Powder

Texas Chili Recipe

How Do You Make Texas Chili?

To make this delicious Tex Mex Chili: (See recipe card below for full printable recipe)

Step 1: In a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat, add the oil, then the beef to the pan. Cover the beef with the cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper. Stir the beef until it’s well coated in the spice, then brown until nice and seared and mostly cooked through.

Step 2: Chop up, then add the onion to the pan with the beef. Next mince the garlic and add it along with the onion. Let cook for a minute or 2 or until the onion is softened.

Step 3: Add the beef broth to the pan and stir well. Let simmer for 4 -5 minutes, then chop the jalapeños into 1/2 inch pieces and add them to the chili. (for considerably less heat, remove the ribs and seeds)

Step 4: Add the chilli sauce to the pan. (if your pan is too small, transfer to a pot or slow cooker before adding the chili sauce) Stir until the sauce is fully incorporated into the chili.  Then stir in the brown sugar.

Step 5: Simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 1 ½ hours stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick. If it becomes too thick, add more stock as needed. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream and shredded cheddar.

Texas Chili Recipe

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Texas Chili:

  • Leftovers will keep about 4-5 days in the fridge and easily reheat on the stove top or in the microwave.
  • This chili freezes perfectly. Once cooled, pack it into freezer containers or freezer bags. It will keep for up to four months.
  • Remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeños unless you like your chili extra spicy. I recommend removing most of the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño peppers. That way you get their wonderful flavour and a just little bit of heat.
  • I find that 1 teaspoon of salt is perfect BUT if you are sensitive to salt, then I recommend starting with less and adding to taste.
  • This recipe can be made in the crockpot/ slow cooker. Transfer the chili to the crockpot after you’ve added all the ingredients, then let simmer on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
  • Using bottled chili sauce. I live in a rural area, where most of the chilis aren’t easily available. I prefer to use a pre made chili sauce for that reason. Feel free to use a homemade chili sauce or another brand if preferred.

  • Remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeños unless you like your sauce extra spicy. I recommend removing the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño peppers. That way you get their wonderful flavour and a little bit of heat, but not overwhelmingly so.

  • You can use a food processor instead of using a blender. It may not be as smooth as a blender, but it will work out well.

Pickle De Gallo

FAQ’s About Making Pickle De Gallo

What is Pickle De Gallo? – Pickle De Gallo is a twist on a traditional Pico de Gallo. Pickles replace fresh tomato in a fresh, chunky pickle salsa/ topping. It’s so simple and yet gives such a great boost of flavours, putting it on the map as an awesome condiment.

What do you serve Pickle De Gallo with? – My favourite thing to serve with pickle de gallo is tortilla chips or plain ruffles potato chips.

Can Pickle De Gallo be used as a topping? Yes, it’s amazing as a topping on tacos, burritos, nachos, hotdogs, burgers, sandwiches, grilled chicken, pork or salmon.

What Kind of pickle should I use? –  I recommend a garlicky Kosher-style dill pickle. Pickles from the refrigerated section are especially nice, because they maintain their bite. However, any dill pickle will work for this recipe.I don’t recommend sweet or bread & butter pickles for this recipe.

Is Pickle De Gallo spicy? – No, it’s not spicy. The recipe uses 1 jalapeno pepper but if all of the seeds are removed, there is only very slight heat. If you like your salsa spicy, you can mix some of the jajapeno seeds in with the jalapeno or add chili pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or chili powder.

Can I eat Pickle De Gallo if I’m on a Gluten Free diet? – Yes! Pickle de gallo is naturally gluten free. The delicious pickle salsa is low carb and keto approved as well. 

Is Pickle De Gallo Vegan? – Yes, Pickle de gallo is dairy free, vegetarian and vegan.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Pickle De Gallo:

  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten within 4 days.
  • You can serve this immediately, but the chill time allows the flavours to meld & marry nicely.
  • To add a little spice to your pickle de gallo, you can add some of the jalapeno seeds along with the jalapeno. You can also use 2 or 3 jalapenos if desired. Another option is to add a few dashes of hot sauce to the mix.
  • You can leave out the jalapeno if you prefer to but if you remove all the seeds, the jalapeno only adds a very slight amount of heat.
  • Red bell pepper can be replaced with yellow, green or orange bell pepper.
  • Don’t Freeze this salsa. Because of the fresh, uncooked vegetables, this is not a good candidate for freezing. Freezing it would change the consistency of the salsa.
