Last weekend a legend passed away: Michele Ferrero the owner of Nutella (not to mention the richest man in Italy) died on Valentine’s Day (of all days!!!). In his honor, I had to use Nutella this past weekend (let’s be honest, it was just another excuse for me to use Nutella). Recently my mom made …
Rose Red Velvet Cake Truffles with Cardamom-Chocolate Ganache
I don’t think these need much of an introduction, but just picture moist red velvet cake flavored with the delicate flavors of rose and en-robed in rich cardamom chocolate ganache. Yeah. Trust me, even those who don’t like “exotic flavors” (hate those people), will love these. Perfect for Holiday parties! I actually made these for …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Scones with Caramel Drizzle
What do you do with tons of leftover Halloween candy? Make them even better. I love scones – they’re easy, egg-less, and everyone loves them. You’ll probably notice that I have a few scone recipes on my blog, so this is just adding to the collection! Also, my new colleagues loved them 🙂 Reese’s Peanut …
Chocolate-Cherry Cheesecake Cups
When I was young my mom would always make these delicious cheesecake cups. Our family was never really big on cheesecake, nor am I. I find it to be very heavy and dense and every time I eat it, I feel like I’ve gained 5 lbs instantly. However, most people love cheesecake and we haven’t …
Double Chocolate Brownies with Fresh Candied Orange Peel
Do you ever have those nights (or days) when you’re just craving something decadent and indulgent, but don’t wanna put in the time to make something intense? Well that’s exactly the kinda night I was having recently. I was craving something chocolatey and chewy…that spells brownies to me! I found a box of Duncan Hines …
Strawberry-Nutella Frozen Smoothie
I have an obsession with Nutella. Then again, who doesn’t?! If you don’t like Nutella, then I’m sorry to this, there’s definitely something wrong with you. Anyways, one Sunday morning I was really craving a smoothie or drink of some sorts that contained Nutella. However, being that Nutella isn’t the healthiest of items in …
My First Ever Cupcake Order!!
Right before the Holidays I received my first Chefpriyanka Cupcake order!! I wish I had time to write this post earlier, but better late than never! So a week before Christmas, my Aunty was attending a Holiday party at her place of work. She placed an order for cupcakes and I was a little confused …
100+ Cakepops for my Sister’s Engagement Party.. Oh & a “Hurricane.”
This past weekend was my middle sister Puja’s engagement party! This past weekend was also the most unnecessarily hyped-up Hurricane of the decade- Hurricane Irene. Some pictures are of the cakepops pre-wrapped and some are post-wrapped. The Rose-Red Velvet Cake Pops seemed a bit denser than the Banana Bread cakepops, so I ended up giving …
Chocolate-Nutella Peanut Butter ‘Truffles’
I think the name of this sweet says it all. Its basically the most amazing ingredients on the planet altogether in 1 little dessert- a chocolate peanut butter truffle. If you’re vegan, just use raw/vegan nutella or negate it altogether. This sweet basically tastes like a homemade Reese’s Cup– one of my favorite chocolates. The …
“Almond Joy” Cupcakes
WARNING: This is not a ‘healthy’ post, so don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂 These aren’t really “Almond Joy” cupcakes, but more so “Mounds” cupcakes. But I figured Mounds isn’t as popular as Almond Joy, so no one would’ve known what I was referring too. Anyways, Mounds is like the sister to Almond Joy- …
