Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake

Here is what you will need to make the recipe:

2 pkgs. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 pkg. cream cheese,
1/2 cup confectionary sugar,
1tsp. Vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling,
1 egg white, 1 tsp. sugar.

Roll out crescent rolls in a rectangle. Cut 1 inch strips all the way down both sides. You want to leave about 6 inches in the middle. Mix the cream cheese and sugar together and spread down the center. Spoon the Cherry Pie Filling over the top. If you use a fork you will not get all the juice. Fold the crescent rolls as in the video. Mix egg white and 1 tsp. sugar and paint on top of crescent rolls. Bake 350 25-30 minutes.

German Chocolate Coffee Cake

I love that this is a german chocolate coffee cake. There are so many recipes for coffee cake today it is amazing, but I rarely come across a chocolate one, which is a shame as chocolate is so freakin’ good! Now, I also wanted to post this video because it is kind of hilarious. This guy has some strange space age music in the background and seems quite serious. Regardless, the recipe sounds amazing.

I think this would be the perfect cake to serve to girlfriends who are visiting, or to your family – if they are lucky! Check out the video below for super easy, step by step directions on how to make German Chocolate Coffee Cake:

Coffee Chocolate Mousse

This recipe seems quite easy and really does not have a lot of ingredients to deal with. There are a few steps, such as beating the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, but other than that there really is not a lot that you have to do. I think the mousse sounds like it would be absolutely delicious and wonderful!

The following video shows step by step directions on how to make this delicious chocolate coffee mousse. As Paula Deen is making it, you know it is not a light recipe. It incorporates a lot of heavy and rich ingredients, so be prepared to splurge!

Chocolate Espresso Truffle Pie (Vegan)

When I lived in Los Angeles I would shop at Trader Joe’s all the time. It was my favorite grocery store and I miss it so much. One thing about Trader Joe’s is they had the most delicious vegan cookies. In this video the host makes an absolutely gorgeous chocolate espresso truffle pie. That great thing about this is it incorporates tofu, and you would never know it!

This is a great recipe if you are looking for something delicious, but without all the guilt calories. I think I’m going to try making this recipe this weekend! Check out the video below for step by step directions:

Espresso Cupcakes

In this video Paula shows us how to make these delicious cupcakes from scratch. It honestly looks pretty easy as long as you have all the ingredients to make them. Now, this is not a recipe you want to make if you are watching or weight or concerned about calories. But then again, none of Paula’s recipes are geared to weight loss or calorie watching. I mean, after all she is not a doctor, she is a home cook. So I think you go girl, I will be making these chocolate espresso cupcakes very soon.

French Vanilla Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake

What I like about this recipe is that it is not overly sweet. I like a nice cake or streusel that is subtly sweet, not one you feel so guilty about eating. This would also be the perfect thing to serve if your girlfriends came over in the afternoon for coffee or tea! I plan on making this recipe for the tea party, get together, I’m having later this week.
