Chocolate Lasagna

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package regular Oreo cookies (Not Double Stuff) – about 36 cookies
• 6 Tablespoon butter, melted
• 1- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tablespoons cold milk
• 1- 12 ounce tub Cool Whip, divided
• 2 – 3.9 ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding.
• 3 1/4 cups cold milk
• 1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Begin by crushing 36 Oreo cookies. I used my food processor for this, but you could also place them in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. When the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs, you are done.
2. Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter and use a fork to incorporate the butter into the cookie crumbs. When the butter is distributed, transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the additional layers.
3. Mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add in 2 Tablespoons of milk, and sugar, and mix well. Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the crust.
4. In a bowl, combine chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken. Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the previous cream cheese layer. Allow the dessert to rest for about 5 minutes so that the pudding can firm up further.
5. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.

Mini Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

So I was in the middle of making red velvet cupcakes, but I thought to myself, ‘I’ve made red velvet cupcakes before. How about I try something different?’ I figured with just a bit more flour added to my cupcake mixture, they could be stiff enough for me to make small cake cookies, sandwiched together with it’s infamous pair of cream cheese icing. And thus, my mini red velvet whoopie pies were created.

I enjoyed the last time I made my cookies and cream whoopie pies. Those pies were much larger than my red velvet ones, but I decided to go mini to cater to more people, to make them easier to eat… and they’re just cuter when they’re miniature sized! Speaking of which, I just read through the post on my cookies and cream whoopie pies, which I made when I finished my first year of Uni. How funny that I made these red velvet ones when I finished my second year!

In some ways, I’m still experimenting with trying to find the right balance of chocolate flavour, red colouring and a soft, moist red velvet cake. These whoppie pies lean towards the soft and dense type rather than light and fluffy. Nevertheless, I think they still have the right texture to be considered red velvet. It’s still breast cancer month, so for those who are looking for something pink to bake, make these pink velvet and they’ll surely be a hit!

Mini Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Ingredients

Cakes:

• 100g unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp red food colouring
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
• 1 3/4 cup self-raising flour, sifted
• 1/2 cup buttermilk

Filling

• 100g cream cheese, softened
• 50g unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted

3. Combine cocoa powder and flour in a separate bowl. Add half the flour mixture and half the buttermilk into the butter mixture and continue to beat together. Once combined, add the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk until batter is completely mixed. 
   
   
4. Place batter into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle. Pipe rounds of 3-4cm in diameter onto the baking tray, keeping each round a few centimetres apart. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until a skewer inserted into a cake come out clean. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool on trays before filling. 
   
   
5. To make the filling: cream together cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer. Add the vanilla extract, then gradually add the icing sugar, continuously beating to incorporate until mixture becomes of spreadable consistency. 
   
   
6. To assemble: place filling into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm star nozzle. Pipe onto half of the cakes, then sandwich together with the other half. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
