Pani PoPo Coconut 🥥 Sweet Rolls

This crazy simple Samoan sweet treat Pani PoPo combines regular Yeast Rolls with a Coconut Milk 🥥 Sweet gooey glaze that goes on both before and after the bake.

Ingredients

• • 20 frozen dinner rolls
  • 10 ounces coconut milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Coconut or Vanilla extract

  
  

Instructions

• Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and arrange rolls evenly to thaw (if doing homemade rolls, roll dough into golf-ball size balls and arrange the same way).
• Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray (to keep dough from sticking to the plastic wrap). Allow to rise until doubled in size.         

   This can take 4-5 hours.  If you need the rolls to thaw quicker, follow the quick-rise instructions on the frozen roll packaging.
• Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees. In a medium bowl whisk until smooth the sugar, extract and coconut milk together.
• Pour about 2/3 of the coconut mixture over the rolls and bake for 20-30 minutes (or according to package/dough recipe instructions) or until golden brown and dough is baked through.  

  

  
  
• Remove from oven and pour remaining coconut mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
• The rolls should be sticky and gooey on the bottom (read notes above). Can be served upside down or right-side up.

4 cups Whole Milk Powder*

1 tablespoon Corn Starch*

1½ cups of Sugar or Splenda etc.*

1 cup of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 cup of Mini-Sized Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips

1 cup of Powdered French Vanilla Creamer

¼ teaspoon of Salt

Mix all of the ingredients in one large tub until well blended.

* Corn Starch is to thicken it and for creamy silky texture

* You can use Sugar, Splenda or whatever kind of sweetener you prefer that measures same as sugar.

If you’d rather use Powdered Sugar use 2½ - 2¾ cups

* Whole milk powder such as pictured below to make it rich and creamy and let's face it, tastes way better than the non fat kind. You can substitute with the non fat kind if needed though. 

To make Cocoa:

Add 3-4 tablespoons or how ever much to your taste and liking of the homemade hot cocoa mix to a mug or cup of HOT water or milk and stir well! 

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, some marshmallows, whipped topping, peppermint candy cane, or marshmallow fluff if desired! Enjoy!

Notes

Makes one very large air tight container of cocoa mix, approx 8 cups

Enough to last a large family a few months!

Rice Krispy Treat Cheesecake

 

Ingredients

For the Rice Krispie Crust

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/3 cup marshmallow fluff

For the Cheesecake Filling

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

For the Toppings

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal (for topping)

1/4 cup melted chocolate (for drizzling)

Instructions

Prep the Crust: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the marshmallow fluff and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies until well-coated. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Gently fold in the sour cream.

Combine and Pour: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared Rice Krispie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for about one hour.

Add Toppings: Once cooled, sprinkle mini marshmallows and the extra Rice Krispies over the top, then drizzle with melted chocolate.

Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Rice Krispies. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months.

PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE COOKIES

 PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE COOKIES!

🥜 1 stick butter

🥜 2 cups sugar

🥜 ½ cup milk

🥜 1 cup peanut butter

🥜 2 tsp vanilla

🥜 3 cups quick-cook oats

🥜 ¼ tsp 

Instructions

 

1. Before getting started, make sure to gather all of your ingredients and measure everything out. Line a couple of large baking sheets with parchment paper (I like to just line my countertop with a large sheet of parchment paper, if your countertop is heat resistant you can also do this instead) and set aside.
2. Place the butter, sugar, and milk in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, making sure to stir often until the butter is melted and everything is well combined. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil (the top should be completely covered in bubbles and bubbling vigorously) and allow to boil for 60 seconds (make sure to set a timer!) without stirring.
3. Remove from the heat, and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined. Stir in the oats and mix until all of the oats are coated with the mixture and everything is well combined.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. I like to use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop and flatten the cookies out a little. Allow to cool for about 45 minutes- 1 hour or until the cookies have firmed up, serve, and enjoy! The cookies will continue to firm up more the longer they cool.

Cool Whip Candy

Cool Whip Candy

This Cool Whip candy tastes just like a sweet candy bar and only needs three ingredients to make a delicious batch.

Prep Time10 mins

Chill Time1 hr

Total Time1 hr 10 mins

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Cool Whip Candy Recipe

 

Servings: 36

 

Calories: 179kcal

Ingredients

• 12 ounces semi-sweet baking bars, broken into small pieces
• 8 ounces tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 24 ounces chocolate almond bark, also known as candy coating

Instructions

• Line an 8x8-inch, straight-sided baking pan with a piece of parchment paper. Be sure to leave enough of the parchment paper overhanging the edges of the pan to be able to fold it back over the top of the mixture while chilling and to make removal easier.
• Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
• Add the broken pieces of semi-sweet baking bars to a large mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir and heat for an additional 30 seconds. Keep heating in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Be sure to stir between heating times. You can also melt according to package directions.
• To the bowl of melted semi-sweet chocolate, add the thawed whipped topping.
• Using a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat the chocolate and whipped topping for 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly combined and smooth.
• Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a small offset spatula, smooth the top of the candy filling to ensure that you have a nice even layer. Fold the overhanging parchment paper over the top of the candy filling.
• Place the pan into the freezer for 1 hour to chill the Cool Whip candy filling.
• Once the candy filling has firmed up, you can remove it from the freezer. Using the overhanging sides of parchment paper, gently lift the candy filling out of the pan.
• Using a very sharp knife, slice the candy filling into 6 (approximately 1½-inch x 8-inch) strips. Cut each of those long strips in half, then each half into three pieces. You should have a total of 36 squares. Note: You will need to clean your knife with hot water after every few cuts to keep your cuts as clean as possible. The candy will get soft and sticky as it warms up.
• Once you have cut your Cool Whip candy, you will want to place it back into the freezer to stay cold while you melt your chocolate almond bark coating.
• To melt your chocolate almond bark coating, you will place it into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high for 1 minute. Stir, then heat in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
• Using a fork, dip, and coat one piece of Cool Whip candy, allowing any excess to drip off the bottom. You can gently tap your fork on the side of the bowl to allow the chocolate coating to drip evenly over the sides of the candy.
• Place the chocolate-coated Cool Whip candy onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You can use a second fork or a toothpick to gently slide the candy off the fork and onto the parchment. Repeat until all the Cool Whip candy has been coated.
• Place the baking sheet of Cool Whip candy into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to firm up before serving.

Notes

• If you don’t want to melt the chocolate in the microwave, you can use a double boiler instead.
• Using a handheld mixer makes blending the melted chocolate and whipped topping easy. However, a whisk or silicone mixing spatula will do the job just as well. Getting the mixture fully incorporated may take a couple of extra minutes. Regardless of your method, you will want to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure you got all the melted chocolate completely incorporated.
• You will need to clean your knife with hot water after every few cuts to keep your cuts as clean as possible. The candy will get soft and sticky as it warms up.
