The Pampered Chef is a company that sells ” high-quality kitchen tools, as affordable as they are versatile”. They come and cook a couple of recipies using the Pampered Chef Equipment so you can try before you buy.
On the morning of our Pampered chef party Sharon who was ment to be coming from pampered chef lost her voice completely so at the last-minute Lesley stepped in. Lesley was great and cooked Jaffa Pudding and Mini Bailey’s Cheesecakes.
Jaffa Pudding
100g butter, melted, plus a little extra for the dish
250g SR flour
140g caster sugar
50g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
Zest and juice 1 orange
3 eggs
150ml milk
100g orange milk chocolate broken into chunks (Green&Blacks Maya Gold is fab!)
Single cream or ice cream to serve (optional)
FOR THE SAUCE
200g light muscovado sugar
25g cocoa
300ml boiling water
Butter 2 litre Deep Dish Baker or Square Baker. Heat oven to 180C. Put the kettle on. Put the flour, caster sugar, 50g cocoa, baking powder, orange zest and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the orange juice and any pulp left in the juicer, the eggs, melted butter and milk, then pour onto the dry ingredients and mix together until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chunks and scrape everything into the baking dish. Mix 300ml boiling water from the kettle with the sugar and cocoa for the sauce, then pour this all over the pudding batter. Don’t worry, it will look very strange at this stage! Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 mins until the surface looks firm, risen and crisp. As you scoop spoonfuls into serving bowls, you should find a glossy, rich chocolate sauce underneath the sponge. Eat immediately with vanilla ice cream or single cream.
Mini Baileys Cheesecakes
One pack of chocolate chip cookie dough (block) or shortcrust pastry
3 tablespoons of icing sugar
30ml of Baileys
300g of Soft Cream Cheese
Split the block of dough into 24 equal balls and place into the Mini Muffin Pan, and bake for 10/15 minutes. Once out the oven and whilst still warm dab a hole in the centre of each ball making a well, using the Mini Tart Shaper. Set aside and let them cool completely. Combine cheese, icing sugar and Baileys into the Small Batter Bowl until creamy using the Small Mix n Scraper. Then place filing into the Easy Accent Decorator and pipe into the well of each base.
Top with either a Malteser, Smartie or Choc Chip.
We bought lots of new kitchen things so we will let you know how we get on with them. A percentage of the sales are going to the centre so we raised some money, well that’s my excuse for buying so much anyway.
