How to Make Cold Chocolate Cake

cold chocolate cake
Ever since  I learned to make this cake (which is more like a pie) I have made it over 10 times and it hasn’t gotten old yet! The reason I love it is because you only need three ingredients AND it takes less than 10 minutes! I originally found this recipe on Facebook from Kiwilimon, a food, dessert, and drink page that I follow. The original recipe calls for a hand made Oreo crust, but to save time, I make it without the crust or just purchase the crust that is already made.

Ingredients:

  • Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Packet of Unflavored Gelatin 7/8 oz.
  • Optional – Graham Cracker Pie crust

    • Instructions:
    1. 1. Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into a microwave safe bowl.
    2. 2. Put in the microwave for 1 min
    3. 3. While the whipping cream is in the microwave pour unflavored gelatin in a cup and add 5 TBLS of water
    4. 4. Mix until all of the clumps are gone and set aside
    5. 5. Remove the whipping cream from the microwave and add one cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
    6. 6. Mix well and put it in back in the microwave for 1 minute
    7. 7. Remove the mix from the microwave
    8. 8. Mix well and Add unflavored gelatin, mix and microwave for 30sec to 1 minute
    9. 9. Once All of the chocolate chunks are melted and you mix it all one last time, pour it into a graham cracker crust or your baking pan of choice.
    I hope you enjoy this chocolatey goodness!

    How to Make Dulces Enchilados

    Dulces enchilados have become the latest craze in snack candy. So much so that even small businesses have replicated the candy that Pica Pica first introduced to us. I love these sweet and spicy candy’s, but the price of a bag along with waiting for them to arrive doesn’t help when I get that craving. I searched and searched the internet for instructions and after watching several videos, I found out that none of those videos had measurements, every single person just winged it!  That is why I decided to learn how to make them myself and now I am showing you how to make these delicious candies.

    To make these delicious candies you will need the following ingredients:

    • *Gummy worms, gummy bears or any other candy of your preference – 2 Cups
    • *Powdered Sugar – 2 TBLS
    • *Tajin
    • *Chamoy – Don Chilerito is my chamoy of preference-3 TBLS
    • *Lucas Mango & Chamoy
    • *Pico de gallo Polvo (if you want that extra spice)
      • *Also, don’t forget your measuring cup and spoon!

     

    Instructions

    1. In a tupperware, that has a lid, pour 2 cups of gummy worms.
    2. In a cup, I like to use the measuring cup I used for the gummy worms, pour your powdered sugar and 2 TBLS of chamoy. Mix the two ingredients.
    3. Once you have mixed it completely, put it in the microwave to dissolve the chunks of sugar you can’t get rid of by mixing. I heat it for about 10-15 seconds, but keep in mind that my microwave isn’t super fancy. If you have a powerful microwave it may take just 5 seconds. Listen to it and don’t let it burn! I recommend heating it for 5 seconds checking on it and adding more time if needed.
    4. Mix the liquid with your spoon one last time and then pour it over the gummy worms.
    5. Put the lid on your tupperware with the gummy worms and shake it until all of the worms are coated.
    6. Add your tajin, Lucas, chamoy and mix once again.
    7. Continue adding spices until it is the perfect flavor for you! If you want some extra spice, sprinkle pico de gallo onto your gummy worms, but be careful, a little goes a long way!

    Enjoy!
