To end this post on a dessert note, check out these latest creations. First up:

Call Me Blondies

These are a tester for Terry and Isa's upcoming cookie book. I made them with white chocolate chips (they give several options) and opted to bake mine longer. I'm saying that as a bit of a disclaimer. Most people like them oooey gooey, but I prefer them on the cakier side. You can easily get oooey gooey with this recipe, if you go that way. But they are absolutely fantastic this way!

Tira Mi Su, Perfected

Normally, I would think that calling something "Perfected" was pretty gutsy and perhaps more hype than substance. In this case, I'd be hugely wrong. "Perfected" is actually an understatement. This is a tester for Urban Vegan's 250 and it is insanely, decadently and other worldly in it's deliciousness. And by the way, it's easy and should be made ahead of time, making it the ultimate showstopping dessert.

So, how about some recipes?

A zine and tiramisu? Thank you for pointing us to the challenge and thank you for posting a tiramiso picture. I love that dessert so much.

VV, these are the best blondies ever. You're right not to have made them before. I have...and they didn't really cut it. This is YOUR recipe.

DJ K, it's so good. The book is worth whatever the price for that recipe alone.

Vegetation, I know! Me, too! (Said in my Craig Ferguson voice).

Celine, it's got all kinds of good stuff in it. And all for charity.

Mihl, I know you can come up with a recipe for HezTofu! This tira mi su is the ultimate recipe for that dish.

Thank you so much! It's more fun to be a rockstar in a kitchen, anyways ;)

These blondies look so flippin delicious. I'm so much more of a vanilla girl than a chocolate girl. Or coconut. Can't get enough of that good stuff.

Thanks for reading and appreciating :)

I got my copy of the cookzine last week and can't wait to use it! And it's so cool that proceeds are going to Peaceful Prairie.

You are so so luck to be testing for Isa, Terry, and UV!! That tiramisu looks amazing...

Jen aka Jewbacca said...

i'm gonna have to ask for that zine for my upcoming birthday.

that tiramisu looks awesome. i've been looking for a tiramisu recipe to veganize and make for my italian-american husband.

Cyn said...

Oh man, I love tira misu. That looks super delicious.

Does a comic about when I veganized a tiny, whole, songbird count as a recipe?
