The CookingBites recipe challenge: cream cheese

[JAS_OH1]

We usually only extend deadlines by a couple of days to a week at the most, not almost 2 weeks. Can I suggest next Saturday, 25th May?

That's our Memorial Day weekend but I only need a few days personally.

Morning Glory maybe we can extend to june 1st, if nobody objects? Given the enthousiastic performance of everyone so far, who knows more might come up. I am open to it.

As SatNavSaysStraightOn says above its usual to extend by a week. That would suit me.

Nothing difficult here, and no surprises...it's a fudgy, chocolatey treat, made extra rich with cream cheese, and a little something extra from some orange liqueur.

I made LOTS of chocolate truffles to give as gifts last Christmas. I made plain dark chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa powder, dark chocolate with a pinch of cayenne rolled in cocoa powder and a small pinch of red sanding sugar, and dark chocolate truffles with homemade Kalua dipped in dark chocolate.
All were a great hit.

Another sweet one from me: 4-flavour cheesecake

Sure to be honest I thought it was next week . So the 25th is fine with me

Cool. I've got the stuff to make chocolate pasta ravioli with mascarpone filling, with a raspberry coulis for sauce and grated white chocolate for cheese. I just haven't felt like making it.

What can I do to get you into the mood, so to speak?! That sounds fantastic!

Recipe - Cream cheese and banana stuffed French toast

 

[JAS_OH1]

So sometimes the obvious escapes me. I was struggling with the implementation of this idea I had of making salmon and cream cheese sushi arancini, using sticky sushi rice that kept getting stuck on my hand and was making the balls too rice-thick (although some sushi restaurants do go heavy on rice) and I remembered that: when some of the sushi chefs roll they use plastic wrap to line the bamboo mat. Duh. I was really getting annoyed.

Here's my first couple I fried before I figured it out.

Now that was really tasty, but way too much rice. I will do the rest lining my hand with some plastic wrap before putting the rice and filling in it. Already tried it and it works like a charm!

Just a couple of days left!
