Correcting that, lately we've tried out several new homemade baked treats. First we tried out a one-rise cinnamon roll recipe:
While these actually turned out pretty good, the texture wasn't quite what we were going for, so we decided to take the same basic recipe and try out something else with different ingredients on hand.
Here we've got our basic dough, but instead of rolling it out and cutting it up, we're draping part of it in a bread pan.
Next we spoon over a layer of homemade cream cheese frosting.
On top of the frosting we then drizzled boysenberry jam, which was heated up with butter.
See how the dough draping is shorter below? That's because we pulled a layer over, and then restarted the process, putting on more frosting and jam. This process is repeated three or four times until you have several delicious layers.
The rest of the dough is then carefully smoothed over the top, so we essentially have a loaf of awesome bread going on here.
Here it is out of the oven, waiting a few minutes to cool before we can dig in!
And here's a slice of that awesome boysenberry "roll," with all the layers showing.
That's not all we've been up to with desert lately though! For my birthday Megan was challenged to come up with something new and exciting, since cake is not my thing.
She's always having to bat my hand away from the cookie dough, which spurred her on to make cookie dough ice cream sandwiches - made with eggless cookie dough so it's safe to eat! Below you can see a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough she whipped up, along with some cookie dough ice cream.
To put this delicious dish together, set the layer of cookie dough in a small baking pan and then spoon in a layer of ice cream.
Carefully top the ice cream layer with another cookie dough sheet.
Set it in the freezer for a few hours, pull it out, and slice it up to get amazing ice cream sandwiches!
Here are a few we ate at my birthday party:
