I was enjoying dinner at a local Italian restaurant and got Crème Brûlée for dessert. It was, as expected, delicious. Crème Brûlée is surprisingly not too hard to make, so it occurred to me that a s’mores version should be possible. Sure enough, a bit of searching around online proved me right, and I’ve tweaked things to create a delicious Sweet Jumbles version.
Today’s recipe is what I would call a “cheat” recipe – it has only a few ingredients making it very easy (or, as a subcategory on this blog, “slutty jumbles”). This is a Sopapilla Cheesecake. I discovered Sopapilla several years ago in New Mexico where it is a traditional dessert. These deep-fried pastries are made with a dough similar to tortilla masa, and are best served with a drizzle of honey and perhaps a sprinkling of powdered sugar or cinnamon. The closest comparison I can come up with are beignets. Continue reading

Irish Cream makes this legit for St. Pat’s Day, right? Five ingredients and very simple. Continue reading

Yesterday was a snow day up and down the Northeast, so we spent the day huddled warm inside. This recipe was inspired by a 2013 Sweet Jumbles post for Millionaire’s Shortbread. But, I made several modifications, replacing the shortbread with Biscoff cookies, and adding a Biscoff marshmallow layer! They’re easy but it does take some time to make these as they need to cool and harden between each layer. Continue reading
With marshmallow orders in full swing during the month of December, we had little time for baking. But, we did get a few special treats in. My favorite were Gingerdoodle cookies. As the name implies, these are a combination of sinckerdoodles and gingersnaps. They’re nice and soft, which is a great alternative to the traditional gingersnap. Continue reading
