The minute the candy canes roll out, we’re hooked on all things peppermint. Peppermint hot chocolate, peppermint shakes, peppermint sugar cookies, peppermint ice cream… If it can handle peppermint, we’ll add it!

With it being the Holiday gathering season, I thought it would be fun to create a Peppermint Chocolate Ganache Dip perfect for all of those Holiday parties we’re truckin’ off to. If you’re like me at all you’re on the hunt to find the perfect goodie to bring to all of those Holiday parties every year. This one is sinfully delicious and will make all of those Peppermint lovers squeal with delight. Yep, I promise!

Think dipping your favorite cookie, pastry or even potato chip into a warm minty fudge delight. It’s a winner in my book!

It’s similar to making fudge, but you serve it warm and as a dip rather than letting it set-up into fudge.

AND… it’s scrumptious! Here’s how you make it…

Sinfully delightful Peppermint Chocolate Ganache Dip for your Holiday parties from WhipperBerry!

You’ll start with melting your chocolate chips. Using a microwave save bowl, add 2 1/2 cups of good quality chocolate chips. For this recipe I use semi-sweet, but you can use your favorite type of chocolate. Place them in the microwave for 30 seconds and then remove and stir.

They will just start to melt, stir them around and place back in the microwave.

With chocolate you want to be careful, you never want to cook it for more than 30 seconds at a time. Chocolate can burn or scorch quickly, so you want to make sure to cook it slowly. You can always do this over a double boiler as well.

Place back into the microwave for another 30 seconds.

It’s starting to melt and become nice and smooth. If needed add it to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Remove and stir until nice and smooth.

Here is where the fun begins. I want this peppermint chocolate dip to have a nice strong minty flavor so I add a 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract first.

Then I add the International Delight Peppermint Mocha Creamer and sweetened condensed milk.

Creamy Berry No-Bake Jell-o Poke Cake Recipe

4 · Jul 14, 2016 · 1 Comment

+ This Creamy Berry No-Bake Jell-o Poke Cake Recipe brought to you by International Delight +

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-21

 This my friends is NOT your Mother’s traditional Jell-o Poke Cake. Nope, not even close.

This my friends is a MAGIC cake. It’s for those times when you don’t have the time to bake and slave over a special treat, but you still want to impress your friends and family. NO baking involved. Which in these hot summer months, who wants to turn on the oven. It has some unexpected ingredients that make it EXTRA special.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-1

First off, I bought my angel food cake from the store… I know, Gasp!

Seriously, it’s summer… I’m too busy to bake with all of the activity at the house with the kiddos home. I grabbed an angel food cake at the market, some strawberry Jell-o some International Delight Simply Pure Vanilla. LOVE this stuff! It’s made with real milk, cream & sugar, that’s it!

I have always loved the jell-o poke cake I made some great Black Cherry Jell-o Cakes a few years ago and they were a huge hit.

Cake-in-a-Jar

Again, my problem here is that I just didn’t have enough time to bake, I improvised and came up with this great alternative. I also added a little extra love to the Jell-o to make it extra creamy. Here’s how you make it…

Creamy Berry No-Bake Jell-o Poke Cake Recipe

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-3

 Pour Jell-o packet into a 2 cup mixing cup.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-4

 Mix with 1 cup of boiling water.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-5

Stir to dissolve the gelatin completely.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-6

 Once the gelatin has totally dissolved, add a few ice cubes, no more than 4, to slightly cool down the liquid Jell-o.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-7

 Now for the secret ingredient! Add 1 cup of International Delight Simply Pure Vanilla Creamer.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-8

 Stir to completely incorporate the creamer into the Jell-o mixture.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-9

Now, it’s time to prep your cake. Place your cake on a cake plate. Don’t EVER serve a store bought cake in the container that it comes in. You want to at least TRY and fool your guest that you slaved all day in the kitchen!

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-10

 Now, take a skewer or knife and poke a bunch of holes into your cake.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-11

 Next, pour your creamy jell-o mixture carefully onto the cake.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-12

 Try and saturate as much as possible.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-13

 I wanted to keep the sides of my cake as white as possible so I just poured the Jell-o mixture on top. You can do whatever you like. Place the cake in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

While you’re waiting for the Jell-o to set, you can make the Chantilly Cream for the topping of the cake. YUM!

You can find that recipe HERE in my post about homemade chocolate pudding and Chantilly Cream…

Chocolate-Pudding-from-Scratch

Remove the cake from the fridge and with a serrated knife, carefully cut the cake in half and remove the top of the cake.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-15

 Spoon on the Chantilly cream on top of the first layer.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-16

Next, layer some sliced strawberries in the middle.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-17

Now, replace the top of the cake.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-18

I actually flipped the layer over so the the cut side was on top. I just liked the way it looked better. Spoon another layer of the Chantilly Cream on top and then fill the center of the cake with raspberries, blackberries and top with a few strawberries.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-20

 Then around the bottom of the cake fill up the plate with the remaining berries. I like to leave the stems on my strawberries to give it that rustic look, but that’s totally up to you. I also added in a few sprigs of mint to add even more green.

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-26

This Creamy Berry No-Bake Jell-o Poke Cake is truly a show stopper and you hardly had to lift a finger! It’s sooooo easy to make! NO baking skills required!

Strawberry-Shortcake-Poke-Cake-from-WhipperBerry-28

Slice and serve to WOW your guests with the little hidden secret inside waiting to delight your friends and family. It’s the PERFECT summer dessert!

Affordable Style with Sauder Woodworking CO

0 · Apr 9, 2015 · Leave a Comment

+ This Affordable Style post brought to you by Sauder Woodworking Co. +

Sauder-Writing-Desk-11

From a very early age, I’ve been in love with design. Even as a little girl, I loved to flip through design magazines and look at beautiful homes. I especially LOVED being invited into a home that was well thought out and beautiful. You know the feeling… There are just some homes that take your breath away. The homeowner has taken the time to really curate a beautiful space.

You would think that in order to have a well designed and decorated home it would take a design budget large enough to feed a small third-world country for a day. It just isn’t so… It may seem like it, but I promise it’s not. I have been in multi-million dollar homes and in small 900 square foot apartments that just ooze great style. It truly doesn’t matter, you CAN create a beautiful, thoughtful space on any budget.

The key… just like with a great wardrobe, you want to have some solid, classic base pieces. For example, you always want to have a great basic black dress, classic white shirt and stylish slacks in your closet.  They are your basic pieces that are well made, they are always in style and they can be dressed-up or down with current trendy accessories.

The same goes for your home. No matter what your budget, you want to find your basic black dress in furniture form. Classic pieces that fit your taste that will last through the trends. You can dress them up with current colors or accessories that change each season. But all-in-all they are beautiful and timeless.

Think that is out of your reach? Think again…

Even with a small budget, you can find timeless pieces that can create a beautiful, thoughtful home. For example, This beautiful writing desk from Sauder Woodworking CO…

Sauder-Writing-Desk-5

This Carson Forge Writing Desk from Sauder is the perfect example of your basic black dress when it comes to home furnishings.  It has a timeless elegance about it and dresses-up easily to create a stunning corner of your home. It’s made by  Sauder Woodworking CO, a company that has been building furniture for 80 years. They have a solid track record of creating stylish AND affordable home furnishings for even the smallest budget. Sauder goes hand-in-hand with affordable style.

They have a commitment to manufacture as much of their product here in the United States as they can, in a most Earth-friendly way as possible…  All very admirable qualities in a company these days.

The best part about this piece… The price! It’s only $204.99. What a great and affordable way to add some style without breaking the bank!

Sauder-Writing-Desk-10

The desk is nice and compact, but finished on every side so it’s easy to add to any room. It has a pencil drawer and a slide-out hinged laptop or keyboard shelf.

Sauder-Writing-Desk-8

I paired mine with a vintage typewriter chair that I found here in Lincoln from Nodding Goat Home at Simply Bungalow,  some fun pendant lights from Antique Farmhouse and the Be Awesome Today sign is from Barn Owl Primitives.

BUT that’s how I would style it. Want to see some other bloggers who have joined me in a design challenge with this very same piece? Visit Sauder’s Put Together Lookbook…

You can find all kinds of inspiration there! You can also follow Sauder on Pinterest, Twitter & Facebook to find even more inspiration. How would you style a little black dress like this writing desk?
