Congratulations to this month's winner of the Cookbook's Blogger Food Challenge, Joanna Sargent of Go Ahead and Snicker. Her whimsical and artsy recipe will not only give your guests something tasty to snack on at your next party, but it will also inspire smiles!
Frozen yogurt and cupcake chains have become as ubiquitous as Starbucks, with at least one option in most every city center and suburban shopping mall. But Chloe's Soft Serve Fruit Co. is an entity all its own. Founded by mother of three Chloe Epstein, Chloe's Soft Serve was created with the aim of satisfying kids' sweet cravings while providing them (and their parents) with clean, wholesome nutrition.
The all-natural, three-ingredient dessert is made with fresh fruit, filtered water, and a touch of organic cane sugar. The result is a blended concoction that has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream or frozen yogurt — minus the calories, fat, or artificial ingredients. Flavors like banana, mango, raspberry, pear, pumpkin, blood orange, dark chocolate, and tangerine alternate with the seasons, and the desserts are all dairy-, gluten-, and fat-free. If you can't make it to Chloe's Manhattan outpost, it's now shipped nationally — or you can try one of her signature recipes — for a Crunchy, Salty Banana Sundae — right in your own kitchen!
Editor's note: The following is a guest post written by Annabel Karmel, the British children's chef and kiddie cookbook author. In honor of Easter, Annabel shares step-by-step instructions for an egg-themed treat the whole family can make together.
Few things shout Easter more than pastels and eggs. Using kids' favorite breakfast cereal and melted chocolate, they can create perfect nests for candy-coated Easter eggs. With just a few simple steps, and some added cooling time, it won't be long before children and their parents are crunching into these Chocolate Egg Nests. Happy cooking!
