Conjured Mana Brownie - World of Warcraft

This is a recipe where I wish I had a scratch and sniff blog. My kitchen smelled so wonderful with the brownie and the caramel aromas intermingling. 

Mouthwatering.

I used a brownie mix for this recipe but if you are anti-mix  or just want to make them from scratch. here is a great brownie recipe I use all the time.

Brownie Recipe

To make the Salted Caramel Sauce, you will need:

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

6 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon fine sea salt 

 If you are like me and never have heavy cream, here is how to make it.
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
Combine slowly, whisk.
If the butter clumps in the milk. Don't fret, just microwave it for 5 or 10 seconds.
It will melt again and combine properly.

 Ta-da! Heavy cream!

 Now back to the caramel glaze.
Add the sugar to a pan.
Add the water.

 Bring to a boil. It will look like the above photo. It is OK if it bubbles.

 You will stare at the bubbling sugar for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently.
When it browns into a light amber color, remove from heat.

 Add butter and stir.
Slowly add heavy cream. It will foam up, don't be alarmed.
Add salt.
Put aside to let it sit and cool.

 Remove the brownie from the pan and slice in to servings.

Spoon sauce over brownie. Serve.

Yum!

Conjured Mana Pudding ~ World of Warcraft

In real life, this would be called Butterscotch Pudding.

You will need:

2 Tablespoons Butter

1 Cup Brown Sugar

12 Ounces Evaporated Milk

2/3 Cup Flour

1/8 teaspoon Salt

3 Egg Yolks

2 Cups Milk

2 Teaspoons Vanilla

Melt butter in sauce pan and add brown sugar. Cook for 2 minutes. 

It will resemble wet sand.

Add 1/4 cup of the evaporated milk; slowly.

Bring to a boil constantly stirring for 30 seconds.

Remove from heat.

Combine remaining evaporated milk, flour, salt and egg yolks in a medium bowl.

Heat milk (non evaporated) in a small sauce pan over medium head until tiny bubbles form around the edges.
Watch the temperature, milk burns easily.

Combine the flour mixture into the brown sugar mixture and stir.
Slowly, add the hot milk to the brown sugar and flour mixture, whisk.
Return to medium heat for 12 minutes - until it thickens to pudding consistency.
Tip: Keep the heat steady, it will be liquid until minute 10 that BAM! thick.
Remove from heat, add vanilla.

Pour into dishes or a pie and let sit to cool for 30 minutes.

Yum!

Strawberry Shortcake ~ Castlevania

You will need: 

Biscuit:
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
4 tbs butter
3/4 c milk


Whipped topping:
heavy cream or Cool Whip


Strawberry filling:
strawberries
strawberry glaze (optional)
Glaze comes in plain and sugar free

Mix dry ingredients together.

 Add butter and milk.

Place on cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.

Until golden brown.

Let cool.

Slice strawberries into bite size pieces.

This is the optional step. I put the strawberries into a strawberry flavored glaze. 

Add the whipping cream into a mixer.

Place on high speed for 3-5 minutes. Until stiff peaks form.

 After one minute.

 After 4 minutes.
I add a tsp of vanilla extract to the whipped topping. 
I think it adds a bit for flavor without adding sugar.

Slice biscuit in half.

Place strawberries.

Add whipped topping. 

(Homemade, good job!)

Put top back on biscuit. Yum!

Ice Cream - Castlevania

You will need:

1 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp flavoring
( I used butter rum, pick your favorite.)
2 seal-able bags

Combine milk, sugar and flavoring.

Stir.

Check the bag for leaks by filling it with air, sealing it and applying pressure.

Pour milk into bag.

(I don't buy ziploc bags. I reuse bread bags. I try to save money and be green.)

Tie securely.

Add ice cubes and salt to the second bag,

The more ice cubes the better.

I happened to have rock salt but table salt will work just as good.

Place the ice cream bag inside the salt and ice cube bag.

Tie securely.

Wrap in a towel, it is very cold.

Now shake it gently for 10-20 minutes

Here is a video to watch while you shake.
