Double-Chocolate Peppermint Pot de Creme

December 17, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 13 Comments

I’m officially peppermint crazy, but if it’s not “peppermint” crazy it’s bound to be something else, so at least this is benign. Because other crazies would be like using my mascara wand to stir coffee, squirting contact solution on my toothbrush and leaving the house for work with no shoes.

Double-Chocolate Peppermint Pot de Creme ~ A rich and creamy no-bake recipe that can be made two days in advance.

As it is, I can be absentminded enough on my own, pregnancy has just made it better—crazier,  more fun! I’ve even trained the little guy to sleep in his school clothes, so that any wardrobe malfunction can be diverted during my early morning haze. Don’t worry, the one time, he had to go commando to school is nothing like the Janet Jackson affair, but d@mn! there was so much crying and drama at drop-off that I nearly lost my mind.

And then made worse when I got a call from the nurse’s office and had to hop on the line to reassure my little guy that I bet there are ten other students there—that very day—who  forgot to wear underwear. So as far as my absentmindedness is concerned, sleeping in school clothes for the next day is the best work-around to that hazy mass in my head. Thankfully the little guy is all for it since the extra minutes it takes to get dressed has been added to extending time before the alarm clock wakes him up. Matt on the other hand shakes his head almost every morning when he sees Cole walk down the stairs fully dressed—socks and all.

But before your jaw gets anymore slack – let’s talk food. You’ll love this easy no-bake recipe. It’s rich, creamy and can be made two days in advance—holiday perfect if you are pressed for time and oven space.

    These look so cute. –
    I may also give them a try with crunchy (cinder toffee) and caramel instead of the candy canes.

    Ha ha! That is frickin genius! I NEVER would have thought to have little kids go to bed in their school clothes but it really is getting in front of the situation, isn’t it? Awesome.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
