Chocolate Kiwi Popsicles

showfoodchef.com


My sister is the QUEEN of dark chocolate recipes. I however am not a fan of the stuff BUT if you put it with fruit I am in love!!! Plus did you know that dark chocolate is supposed to be healthier for you :)

Ingredients:
kiwi (peeled & cut into 1" thick rounds)
1 c. dark chocolate (chopped)
1/2 c. coconut oil

1) Stick Kiwi with a popsicle stick in each round. Freeze on a tray in the freezer.

2) Melt dark chocolate and Coconut oil over a double boiler, then cooled to room temp.

3) Dip each Kiwi-pop into the chocolate mixture (it will immediately turn crispy) and place on a tray to refreeze or pass around right now.

* Dipped bananas in this same mixture and it was sooo heavenly!!! The fruit possibilities are endless!!!!

Fruit Pizza

I LOVE FRUIT!!! I do, it is one of my most favorite pleasures in the world! So when you combine it with a sugar cookie it almost brings peace to your life as you sit down and eat it :) OK I wish but it is that good!!!

So start out with a sugar cookie base (you can make it or buy it)

Spread it in a greased cookie sheet or cake pan OR if you want to be really tricky you can make your cookie dough into cookies and make individual fruit pizzas :)
Bake according to the cookie dough directions

Sugar Cookie Bars Www.mycupcakejourney.blogspot.com

1 c. unsalted butter, softened 2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 c. flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add your eggs one at a time mixing well after each one. Add vanilla.

Add your dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Press into a greased 13x18 (cookie sheet). Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Let it cool completely

Now onto the pizza:

Sauce (frosting): this is enough for a cake pan so double for cookie sheet

Mix until smooth
1 cream cheese
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. heavy whipping cream
If you dont have heavy whipping cream just use 2 tsp. vanilla

After your cookie base has cooled frost generously with this frosting. Then top with any kind of sliced fruit you may desire!!! I would advice you not to use bananas because they go brown fast and if you soak then in juice they will be a little slimy.

I used mangoes, strawberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, and fresh pineapple and it was sooo divine!!! You could also use grapes, blueberries, raspberries etc.
