DOUBLE LAYERED PISTACHIO + TOASTED MILK + COFFEE TRES LECHES

in

Tres leches has been a staple in my dessert rotation for many years now. It’s always been there as a unaltered classic but this version takes on a different flavor profile by infusing notes of pistachio, toasted milk and coffee. Ground pistachios and toasted milk powder get folded into the sponge cake to add a bit more flavor and dimension. The milk mixture gets flavored with more toasted milk powder and coffee. The frosting is my favorite part, its a whipped cream cheese folded with pistachio butter. It’s so light and ethereal and could just be eaten on its own because it’s that good!

Toasted Marshmallow Red Velvet Cookies

Nothing says cozy winter vibes more than roasting marshmallows by the fire. Just the thought of toasted marshmallows makes me all cozy and fuzzzzy! I’ve been playing around with the idea of a red red velvet cookie for a bit but wanted to add a fun holiday twist to them, so I though why not torch the fluff to get a toasted marshmallow feel.  And that is exactly what it needed! These cookies are super rich and chewy, so fudgy and delicious and have the perfect amount of chocolate. The roasty marshmallow flavor compliments the chocolatey notes of the cookie and add depth to the cookie. I added a few white chocolate curls on top for a touch of sweetness and texture.
