Banana Pecan Caramel Sauce

Gooey, sweet and sticky, this banana pecan caramel sauce is perfection over ice cream, brownies or baked apples. Or you can just eat it with a spoon. You won’t get any judgment from me. Seriously, it’s that good.

I am not a big sweet eater but I do have a fondness for caramel. The caramelization of sugar adds a welcome slight bitterness that I find very appealing and I know I’m not alone in that. Some of the most popular candies in the world have caramel as an element. Think Snickers, Milky Way and Twix to name just three.

As a kid, my movie candy of choice was always a big box of Milk Duds and I loved Sugar Daddys which were basically a solid rectangle of caramel on a stick. Those would pull your fillings out if you weren’t careful! Totally worth the risk. 

If you feel the same way as I do about caramel, you are going to love this sauce. 

Banana Pecan Caramel Sauce

This recipe makes a little more than two cups of sauce. Because of the bananas, I recommend you store any leftovers in a refrigerator, which means it will turn solid but spoon-able. Gently rewarm it back to sauce consistency before using. This recipe is adapted from one on Marsha’s Baking Addiction.

Ingredients
1 cup or 240ml water
2 cups or 400g sugar
1/2 cup or 57g chopped pecans
2 medium bananas (about 180g), pureed until smooth
1/2 cup or 120ml heavy cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract



Method
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the water and sugar. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.


Turn the heat down to medium and allow the mixture to come to a light amber color without stirring. 


Instead, swirl the pan around occasionally to make sure the mixture caramelizes evenly. (This can take a while. Be patient, and don't be tempted to turn up the heat!)

Remove the pan from the heat, and add in the chopped pecans. Stir well.


 Add in the pureed banana. Stir constantly until combined and the bubbling has stopped.


Place back on the heat, and keep stirring until the mixture becomes a deep, rich amber color.


Remove from the heat and gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly until combined. The sauce might sugar up at this point if your cream isn't room temperature but just keep stirring and all will be well, as the sugar melts again and it turns back into a sauce. 


Take the pot off of the stove and stir in the vanilla.


Pour the caramel into a heat-proof jar and allow to cool completely before using. Serve over ice cream or even spread on toast or pancakes.

Passion Fruit Posset

Made with only four main ingredients, there is no simpler or more delicious dessert than a passion fruit posset. It’s tart, sweet and creamy!

Food Lust People Love: Made with only four main ingredients, there is no simpler or more delicious dessert than a passion fruit posset. It’s tart, sweet and creamy!

Last year around this time, just before my birthday in fact, a package arrived on my porch. When I opened it, I found 10 gorgeous passion fruit. No idea where they came from. 

I posted to social media in the hopes that someone would enlighten me and it turns out they were a birthday gift from my elder daughter, who knows I LOVE PASSION FRUIT. 


I’m not much of a cake lover so for my birthday, I made passion fruit posset just like this, except in one big bowl. I served it with a spoon into smaller bowls once it had set. We all enjoyed it thoroughly and so not too many days later, I made it again and poured it into pretty glasses to chill and serve. 

Since I have some passion fruit pulp in the freezer, I’ve decided to continue birthday tradition and make this again. This year it’s just two of us at home so I’ll probably halve the recipe.

Passion Fruit Posset

If you can’t find fresh passion fruit, check the freezer section in your nearby grocery stores, especially if you have ones that cater to Asian or Latin clientele. They often sell frozen pulp. Whenever I see the fresh ones at a reasonable price, I freeze my own as well. 

Ingredients – to serve four 
5 large passion fruit, halved and pulp scooped out
1/4 cup or 60ml fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups or 590ml double cream
1/2 cup or 113g caster sugar
pinch fine sea salt

Method
Strain the seeds out of the passion fruit, extracting as much juice as possible. I find it helpful to vigorously whisk the whole mess which loosens the seeds from the pulp. I got about 1/3 cup or 80ml of juice.


Pour the juice into a measuring vessel then add some seeds back till you reach the 1/2 cup or 120ml mark. Reserve the rest of the seeds for topping. 


Add the lemon juice to the passion fruit juice, stir, then set aside. 


Combine the cream and sugar in a medium saucepan set over a low heat and stir for 2 mins to dissolve the sugar. 


Turn the heat up to medium and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 mins (set a timer) then remove from the heat and immediately stir in the passion fruit and lemon juice mixture. 


Divide evenly between four (8 oz or 240ml) cups or glasses - do this quickly, as the mixture will start to thicken. Since I was using glasses, I put a small teaspoon in each to make sure the heat didn’t break the glass. 


I removed the teaspoons before chilling. 


Leave to cool for 10 mins, then chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. The posset can be made up to three days ahead and chilled.

Once set, add the reserved passion fruit pulp to the top.

And serve.

2-Minute Quick Fudge

This rich, nutty 2-Minute Quick Fudge is so easy that children can make it all by themselves. Even better, its main ingredients are store cupboard and refrigerator staples: powdered sugar, cocoa powder, butter and milk. 

Food Lust People Love: This rich, nutty 2-Minute Quick Fudge is so easy that children can make it all by themselves. Even better, its main ingredients are store cupboard and refrigerator staples.

It’s perfect for slumber parties, unexpected midnight munchies and, especially important this time of year, it makes a great gift for neighbors and friends. Who doesn't like fudge?!

I miss the days when my daughters still lived at home and we’d have a fairly steady stream of overnight guests and sleepovers on the weekends. I was in my absolute element cooking and baking for a crowd. 

One of our favorite sleepover meals was homemade pizza. I’d make the dough and pizza sauce and set out all of the toppings. Each girl would get a ball of dough to spread out on a pan and top her own custom made pizza. It took awhile to make and bake them all so the pizza was both entertainment for part of the evening, and dinner. 

As they got older, I’d head off to my room to read after we ate, knowing that they were quite capable of baking up a pan of brownies and more on their own, if the munchies hit. The muted giggles and games and music from downstairs were joy to me. 

I originally created this recipe post for a sleepover theme blog event so I was determined to find a quick fudge recipe that children could make on their own with simple ingredients. No condensed milk or marshmallow fluff since a lot of folks don’t keep those in the cupboard. I didn’t want the stove involved either. Flames and unsupervised children should never mix. Unfortunately, most quick fudge recipes call for one or both those things. 

Until I found this one in my archives. I’d love to give credit where it’s due, but the source wasn’t in my notes. It did say that nuts were optional. I had scratched through Nuts to write Pecans. Because pecans are my favorite nut. And I added the mini M&Ms. 

The bottom line is, you can eat the base quick fudge all on its own. It’s perfectly chocolate-y and rich. Or you can add in whatever you like. Chopped candy bars, mint chips, peanut butter chips, mini marshmallows, other nuts? They’d all be excellent. 

2-Minute Quick Fudge

Technically, this does take just a bit longer than two minutes because you have to chop the pecans and measure all of your other ingredients out. It’s still super quick and worth it!  

Ingredients
1 lb or 450g powdered sugar
1/2 cup or 40g unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup or 60ml milk
1/2 cup or 113g butter 
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup or 57g chopped pecans, plus more for decoration, if desired
1/2 cup or 100g mini M&Ms, plus more for decoration, if desired

Method
Grease an 8 x 8 in or 20 x 20cm pan or line it with baking parchment across the bottom and up at least two opposing sides, so that the fudge can be lifted out of the pan by those ends. 

In a large microwavable mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and salt in mixing bowl. 


Add milk and butter. Do not mix. 


Cook uncovered in a microwave oven on high for 2 minutes. Remove bowl from microwave and stir well to mix the ingredients into a lovely thick chocolate.


Add the vanilla, pecans and mini M&Ms.  Stir until blended. 


Pour or spoon the fudge into your prepared pan. 


Press it out evenly in the pan. 


Sprinkle on the extra mini M&Ms and pecans, if using. Press them down with a spoon so they stick into the fudge. 


If your kitchen is warm, you can put the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes to cool and set. My quartz countertop is cold this time of year so mine set up quickly without chilling. 

Cut into small squares with a sharp knife and serve. Store in an airtight container.

Tip: If you are giving this fudge away as a gift, cut a piece of thick cardboard into a square. Cover it in foil and stack the pieces of fudge on top. Cover with cling film, ribbon optional. Voilà – a pretty gift package!

Glazed Donut Bread Pudding #BundtBakers

The best recipe for leftover donuts, this Glazed Donut Bread Pudding is sweet, buttery and absolutely delicious! Serve it plain, with cream or ice cream! It's pretty much the perfect dessert, and better still, uses up something you might have tossed.

Food Lust People Love: The best recipe for leftover donuts, this Glazed Donut Bread Pudding is sweet, buttery and absolutely delicious! Serve it plain, with cream or ice cream! It's pretty much the perfect dessert, and better still, uses up something you might have tossed.

Here in Houston, we have a hometown favorite donut shop. It’s named Shipley Do-Nuts but everyone calls it Shipley's despite its official lack of an apostrophe and s. When their glazed donuts are hot and fresh, there is no better treat. We ration ourselves because they are not, ahem, a healthy breakfast but sometimes, only a hot glazed from Shipley's will do. 

A tip: When it's your turn to order, you must ask for "hot glazed" or they might not give you the most recently cooked ones. Oh, they'll still be fresh, just not warm. We like the warm ones the best. 

The leftovers, if there are any, tend to languish. They aren’t great the next day, even warmed in the microwave for a few seconds. They are, however, fabulous for making bread pudding! 

My husband is a fan of all bread puddings but we both agree that this one is special. You can really taste the glazed donut flavor still and it’s soft and just the right amount of sweet. If you have leftover donuts, I highly encourage you to try it. 

That said, and just for the record, I bought donuts this time specifically to make this bread pudding the next day. It’s that good. 

Glazed Donut Bread Pudding

Do not skip the extra step of double buttering the Bundt pan to ensure that the bread pudding will release from the pan. I would also suggest you use a fairly plain Bundt pan, not one with a lot of nooks and crannies. This makes one 6-cup Bundt bread pudding. 

Ingredients
Butter for greasing the Bundt pan
6 glazed yeast donuts, at least one day old
2 eggs
3/4 cup or 180ml heavy cream
1/3 cup or 80ml milk
1/4 cup or 50g brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Method
Prepare a 6-cup Bundt pan by brushing it liberally with melted butter. Put it in the refrigerator till the butter gets hard and opaque. Brush it again with cool melted butter. If your kitchen is too warm, keep the pan chilled until ready to use. 


Cut each donut in half through the equator then cut it again into smaller pieces.  Set aside. 


In a large mixing bowl, whisk your eggs. Add the milk, cream, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Whisk again. 


Add the donut pieces to the bowl and stir well till they are coated. 


Set aside for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the donuts to fully soak up the liquid. If you need to set the bowl aside for longer, cover it with cling film and refrigerate. 

When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. 

Spoon the donut mixture into your prepared double-buttered Bundt pan. 


Put the Bundt pan inside another larger pan to catch any butter than might drip over the sides during baking. You can skip this step but, trust me, it’s easier to wash a pan that clean the oven. 

Bake your bread pudding for about 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.  As you can see, when it first comes out, it's still bubbling! 


Cool in the pan for about five minutes then loosen the edges.


Turn the bread pudding out onto a serving plate. You can serve it warm, just cut it carefully with a serrated knife. 


Slice and serve with pouring cream or ice cream.

Sticky Pudding Carrot Pineapple Cake

This vegan sticky pudding carrot pineapple cake is aptly named for the sweet ingredients and the more-ish texture. It is divine alone or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of double cream. Decadent for sure. 

Food Lust People Love: This vegan sticky pudding carrot pineapple cake is aptly named for the sweet ingredients and the more-ish texture. It is divine alone or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of double cream. Decadent for sure.

November is World Vegan Month so I thought it would be fun to celebrate that with my Foodie Extravaganza friends. There are so many ingredients and dishes that we eat that are “accidentally” vegan that it makes me crazy when people turn their noses up if they see the label. 

If you’ve ever eaten a salad, vegan. Ditto literally every vegetable or fruit. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, vegan. Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch and Life cereal, vegan. Kraft Creamy Italian Salad Dressing, Campbell’s Mushroom Gravy, Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup, vegan. Lay’s Barbecue Potato Chips, Fritos Barbecue AND Original, all vegan. You can find an ENORMOUS list with just a click. 

And that list is just some of the processed food. 

Cooking at home without including dairy, eggs and meat is super easy. I’ve found some delicious recipes searching not for vegan food but for orthodox lent recipes. Lots of Middle Eastern and Greek dishes that do not disappoint, like my bulgur stuffed peppers! So good. 

Lots of Asian recipes are also accidentally vegan as well, like my coconut chickpea new potato curry and baby eggplant curry (made in an Instant Pot - so quick!) 

Don’t get me wrong, we do eat dairy and meat and eggs but it’s healthier for us and for the planet to try to add meals without them to our menu as well. So that’s always a goal. 

Vegan Sticky Pudding Carrot Pineapple Cake

In the case of this delicious sticky cake recipe, the only substitution required is an alternative “milk.” I did a quick search and most people in my non-judgy vegan Facebook group (they like you wherever you are on the curve of trying to eat more plant-based food) agreed that, for baking, soy milk was best, so that’s what I used. This recipe is adapted from one on Nora Cooks

Ingredients
1 lb or 450g peeled carrots
2 1/2 cups or 312g all purpose flour, plus extra for the Bundt pan
1 cup, firmly packed, or 200g brown sugar
1 cup or 200g white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup or 120ml canola oil, plus extra for the Bundt pan
1 cup or 245g crushed pineapple
3/4 cup or 180ml plant-based milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C and prepare your 10-cup Bundt pan by brushing it liberally with oil then coating it with flour. Do not skip this step! Mine stuck on one side, despite my amply preparations. 

Note: I considered afterward that if I baked the cake in a normal pan instead of a Bundt one it might have turned out less puddingy but I have no regrets. My multiple taste testers loved it and that's good enough for me. 

Grate your peeled carrots finely. 


In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients then whisk well. 


Pour in the canola oil, crushed pineapple, milk and vanilla and fold until just combined with a spatula. 


There may still be a little flour showing and that’s just fine. 


Now fold in the grated carrots. Do not over mix the batter. 


Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan.


Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean from the middle. Put foil over the top if it browns too much before it’s cooked through. 

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. 


Allow to cool for about 20 minutes before loosening the edges and carefully inverting the pan onto the wire rack. I’m not kidding about how sticky it is. If some sticks to the pan, remove it carefully and stick it back on the cake. 

Yeah, that's what going on on the far side. It's not pretty but it's tasty.

Once cooled completely, slice to serve.

Clementine Pistachio Upside Down Cake

Take your dessert to a beautiful new level with this clementine pistachio upside down cake, baked with pomegranate arils. Easy to make but pretty enough for company. Lots of color and flavor, like a party on a plate. 

Food Lust People Love: Take your dessert to a beautiful new level with this clementine pistachio upside down cake baked with pomegranate arils. Easy to make but pretty enough for company. Lots of color and flavor, like a party on a plate.

I am a huge fan of upside down cakes. First of all, they are super easy to make. The cake batter itself is a quick one bowl recipe – no creaming butter and sugar first – just pile all the ingredients in the mixing bowl and beat. 

The fruit or nuts at the bottom (and then, of course, the top when it’s flipped) can be varied by what you have on hand and the season. I’ve even used canned fruit too, with great success. Drained canned apricots are particularly pretty if you take the care to place them all rounded side down.

Clementine Pistachio Upside Down Cake

This upside down cake features beautiful orange clementines. Mine were quite large, but if all you can find are smaller ones, that works too. Just use a few more to make sure the bottom of your pan is covered in slices before spooning in the batter.

Ingredients
For the upside down part:
2 large clementines (zest one for the batter!)
1⁄8 cup or 20g pomegranate arils, some reserved for garnish 
1⁄4 cup or 30g slivered pistachios, some reserved for garnish 
1⁄3 cup or 75g butter, plus extra for buttering the pan
1⁄2 cup, packed, or 100g light brown sugar

For the cake batter:
1 1⁄2 cups or 190g flour
1 cup or 200g sugar
1⁄2 cup or 113g butter, at room temperature 
1⁄2 cup or 120ml milk
2 eggs
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
Zest 1 large clementine

Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. Prepare a springform baking pan (about 10in or 25cm diameter) by buttering it liberally and then lining it with parchment paper cut to the exact size of the bottom. You can take your chances and not line it if you have a non­stick pan but sometimes caramelizing sugar will stick. And that is one of the risks of upside down cakes. 

Melt your butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add in the brown sugar and stir well. Pour this mixture into the baking pan. It should spread right out and cover the bottom.

Peel your clementines and cut them into about four or five slices each. Remove any seeds.


Arrange them side by side over the sugar/butter mixture, making sure to put all the cut sides down, because those will be up when we turn the cake over. Sprinkle the pomegranate arils and pistachios all in and around the clementines, saving some for garnish.


In a large mixing bowl, beat all of the cake batter ingredients at low speed until well mixed, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently with a rubber spatula.

Increase the beater speed to medium and beat for five minutes, stopping every couple of minutes to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.

Slowly spoon the batter over the clementine slices in your baking pan. Smooth out the top with your rubber spatula.


Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.


Remove from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes. The cake should begin pulling away from the sides of the pan.

Remove the sides of the springform pan. 


Invert your serving plate on the top of your wire rack and turn both over quickly and decisively. Lift the bottom of the springform cake pan off. 

Gently peel the parchment paper off of the cake. If any bits have stuck to the parchment, ease them carefully off with the tip of a knife as you peel back the parchment. Use a spatula to scrape up any syrup left in the pan and drizzle it over the cake.


Leave to cool completely then sprinkle on the reserved pistachios and pomegranate arils.
