  • simple Ambrosia Salad recipe

    simple Ambrosia Salad recipe

    This recipe is  one between  many  dish of  my favorite desserts of all time – Ambrosia Salad! it so  simple and easy to make it  always a big hit with kids and adults alike, make sure to put this salad on the menu for your next party!

    in this moment I’m sharing an oldie but goodie with y’all – Ambrosia Salad! This easy dessert salad is always a hit and is a favorite of many in my friends and  family, especially my Aunt Judie. There is absolutely no reason to pick this up at the deli when making it at home is SO easy. I love this classic salad and I know you will too!

    I absoletley don’t think salads like this can ever go out of style…wanna know why? Because they taste AMAZING! They’re easy. They’re fun. They’re accessible. Kids like them. Adults like them. They’re great for parties, potlucks, barbecues. Have I convinced you yet?

    I’ve been a long-time fan of Ambrosia Salad. My Aunt Judie introduced it to me many, many moons ago. It’s her favorite. This is the thing though, if you want to buy it at the grocery store, it’s kinda ridiculously priced. Like a little tiny container is $5. I can make this whole salad for $4. So there. (And now so can you!)

    So what’s in this Ambrosia salad anyways? A whole bunch of yummy stuff – that’s what! Mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, coconut, maraschino cherries, marshmallows – oh my!
    Some people like theirs with nuts. Some don’t. I don’t judge either way. Sometimes, if I have the time, I’ll even toast the nuts which adds even more amazing flavor to this easy ambrosia salad. I used white miniature marshmallows in this salad but I’m also a big fan of using the multi-colored fruit flavored marshmallows. Those are always lots of fun and I love the color they add. Totally up to you!

    There’s a lot going on in this salad and while I don’t technically addy any sugar, all the fruit has a lot of sweetness to it. I have a little secret ingredient for my recipe – sour cream! With all that sweetness going on, the sour cream adds a little creamy tang that helps to offset it. Greek yogurt would also work beautifully. It really helps to keep this ambrosia salad from being overly sweet.

    Every little bite is pure bliss. Magic I tell you!

    So if you want to really “wow” your guests, or your family on a Tuesday night (cause it’s just that easy…), give this Ambrosia Salad a try – I think you’ll agree that it really is the BEST.

    Ingredients

    1 8 oz tub Cool Whip (lite is fine)
    ½ cup sour cream (light is fine)
    1 11 oz can mandarin oranges, drained
    1 20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained
    10 oz jar maraschino cherries, drained, halved, and patted dry
    1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
    2 cups miniature marshmallows
    ¾ cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews) optional

    Fold sour cream into Cool Whip in a large serving bowl.
    Fold in remaining ingredients making sure the pineapple, oranges, and cherries have been properly drained.
    Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving

    •  Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 30-45 minutes depending on their size.

    •  Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then seal the jars with lids.

    •  Refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. The pickled beets will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.

    Serving Suggestions:

  • Castella Cake

    Castella Cake

    Castella Cake: A Classic Japanese Sponge Cake

    Castella is a light, fluffy, and moist sponge cake that originated in Portugal and was introduced to Japan during the Portuguese trade period. It’s characterized by its golden-brown exterior and soft, airy interior.

    Ingredients:

    • Eggs: The foundation of the cake’s structure.
    • Sugar: Provides sweetness and aids in the cake’s rise.
    • Honey: Adds a subtle floral flavor and helps to prevent the cake from drying out.
    • Flour: Provides the structure for the cake.
    • Orange zest: Adds a citrusy aroma and flavor.
    • Milk: Helps to create a moist and tender cake.
    • Baking powder: Acts as a leavening agent to help the cake rise.

    Equipment:

    • Mixing bowls: For separating egg whites and yolks, and mixing the ingredients.
    • Whisk: For beating egg whites and yolks.
    • Electric mixer: For beating egg whites to stiff peaks.
    • Baking pan: A square or rectangular pan, preferably with a non-stick coating.
    • Parchment paper: To line the baking pan and prevent sticking.

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the pan: Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
    2. Separate eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
    3. Beat egg whites: Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

    Tips:

    • Egg quality: Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results.

    Ingredients:

    For this delicious and flavorful side dish, you’ll need:

    • 2 large yellow onions, peeled and cut into wedges
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

    For the onions:

    • Choose high-quality onions for the best flavor.
    • Yellow onions are a good choice, but you can also use red or white onions.
    • Peel and cut the onions into wedges for a uniform size and even cooking.

    For the olive oil:

    • Extra virgin olive oil adds richness and flavor to the onions.
    • It has a more robust flavor than other types of olive oil.

    For the salt and pepper:

    • Salt and pepper are essential for seasoning the onions.
    • Kosher salt is a good choice because it is less salty than regular table salt.
    • Freshly ground black pepper adds a touch of spice and complexity to the dish.

    For the heavy cream:

    • Heavy cream adds a creamy richness to the onions.
    • You can also use whole milk or half-and-half, but heavy cream will give you the richest sauce.

    For the Parmesan cheese:

    • Parmesan cheese adds a savory umami flavor to the onions.
    • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is the best choice for this dish, as it will have a more intense flavor than pre-shredded cheese.

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    2. Prepare onions: Toss onion wedges in olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.

    Tips:

    • For a sweeter flavor, add a pinch of brown sugar to the onions before roasting.
    • You can also add a splash of balsamic vinegar for added tanginess.
    • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor.

    Enjoy your delicious roasted Parmesan creamed onions!

    Additional notes:

    • If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use whole milk or half-and-half.
    • If you don’t have fresh Parmesan cheese, you can use pre-shredded cheese, but it will not have as intense a flavor.
    • You can also roast the onions for a longer period of time if you like them to be extra caramelized.

    3. Assemble the Layers

    • Chocolate glaze: For a shinier glaze, you can add a teaspoon of butter to the glaze while melting the chocolate.

  • Classic Southern Caramel Cake

    Classic Southern Caramel Cake

    Here’s a Classic Southern Caramel Cake recipe, known for its buttery layers and rich, homemade caramel frosting. This cake is a Southern favorite, perfect for celebrations or any special occasion!

     

    Ingredients:

    For the Cake:

    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    For the Caramel Frosting:

    • 1 cup unsalted butter
    • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup whole milk
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

    2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    3. Bake the Cake:

    • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
    • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

    4. Prepare the Caramel Frosting:

    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes, until the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth.
    • Stir in the milk and salt, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
    • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Let the mixture cool slightly, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. If the frosting becomes too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

    5. Assemble the Cake:

    • Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of caramel frosting on top.
    • Place the second cake layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining caramel frosting.

    Tips:

    • Smooth Frosting: If the caramel frosting starts to harden too quickly while you’re frosting the cake, simply heat it for a few seconds in the microwave to soften it again.
    • Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

    This Classic Southern Caramel Cake is incredibly rich and full of caramel goodness, perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth! The soft, buttery cake layers paired with the creamy, homemade caramel frosting make this a dessert to remember.
