Sand Art Sweets

Smestite vas omiljeni kolac u teglicu pa ga u vidu Sand Art-a poklonite dragoj osobi.

Sand Art slatkisi ili gift in a jar, kako ih jos nazivaju, su suvi sastojci razlicitih kolaca i keksica smesteni u teglice po bojama. Sto je vece sarenilo suvih sastojaka, teglica ce izgledati interesantnije. Uz ove teglice pretezno ide i ukrasna porukica koja sadrzi ostatak recepta kako bi onaj ko ga dobije na poklon mogao da kompletira recept. Veoma jednostavno za pripremiti i veoma efektnog izgleda ovo moze biti odlican Bozicni ili Novogodisnji poklon za vase i nase prijatelje :)
Ovo su samo neke ideje, a vi pustite masti na volju :)

Solje su od 240 ml.

Sand Art Brownies

Potrebno:

1 1/8 solje brasna 

2/3 kasicice soli

1/3 solje kakaa

2/3 solje braon secera

2/3 solje belog secera

½ solje cokoladnih kapljica (chips)

½ solje belih cokoladnih kapljica

½ solje orasa ili pecan orasa

Google mi je pomogao da sve ovo prebacim u grame i tako cu vam recept i preneti:

Izmesati so sa 70 gr brasna pa sipati na dno teglice od 1 litar. Preko sipati 40 gr kakaa, zatim 55 gr brasna, 135 gr braon secera, 150 gr belog secera, 100 gr cokoladnih kapljica, 100 gr belih coko kapljica (ja sam koristila chips od mlecne i cokolade za kuvanje) i na vrh 1 dl orasa.

Uputstvo za pripremu kolaca:

Zagrejati rernu na 175 stepeni. Podmazati kalup 22x22 cm.

Sipati sadrzaj iz tegle u ciniju, izmesati pa dodati 1 kasicicu vanila ekstrakta, 2/3 solje ulja i 3 jaja. Miksati dok se sve lepo ne poveze. Sipati u pripremljen pleh i peci 20-25 minuta.

Ovaj Brownies otisao je na poklon mojoj drago prijateljici Ivani, ali ona nije zelela da ga degustira vec da ga zadrzi kao ukras u svojoj kuhinji  tako da je ovo jedini kolac sa liste ciji uspeh ne mogu da garantujem :)

Mocha Coffee Gift Mix

Mocha Coffe je vise topli napitak nego soljica dobre kafe :)

Potrebno:

1/3 solje nes kafe

1 solja mleka u prahu

2/3 solje mleka za kafu u prahu (Completa i sl.)

1/2 solje kakaa 

3/4 solje secera 

1/4 solje braon secera 

1 kasicica cimeta 

1/4 kasicice soli 

1/4 kasicice muskatnog orascica

Sameljite nes kafu u food procesoru da dobijete sitniji prah (nisam dobila prah u potpunosti, ali kafa se malo usitnila). 

U 3 teglice od 2,5 dl redjajte sastojke redom kojim zelite ali vodite racuna o bojama… ja sam krenula sa kafom, zatim je sledilo mleko u prahu, kakao, completa, braon secer, beli secer i vrh sam posula cimetom, solju i muskatnim orascicem.

Za pripremu Mocha Coffee - izmesajte sadrzaj teglice da se sve lepo sjedini a zatim ¼ solje ovog praha izmesajte sa ¾ solje kipuce vode. Promesajte da se istopi.

Koristila sam teglicu od 2,5 dl u koju sam pokusala da smestim polovinu ovih sastojaka… malo sam se prevarila pa se iz moje teglice smesa malo preliva, a ni kompletna kolicina secera nije stala.

Dreamsicle Cookies

Keksici sa intenzivnim ukusom narandze. Za moj ukus ovi keksici su malo preslatki pa ako niste ljubitelj velike kolicine secera ili smanjite isti ili smanjite kolicinu cokolade.

Potrebno:

1/2 solje napitka od narandze u prahu (npr. Cedevita) 

3/4 solje secera (ja sam koristila ½  solje belog i ½ solje braon secera)

1 1/2 solja vanilla chips (ja sam koristila 200 gr seckane bele cokolade)

1 3/4 solje brasna 

1/2 kasicice sode bikarbone

1/2 kasicice praska za pecivo

Izmesajte brasno sa sodom i praskom za pecivo pa ga smestite na dno litarske teglice. 

Preko sipajte Cedevitu, beli secer, braon secer i zavrsite vanilla chipsom ili seckanom cokoladom.

Uputstvo za pripremu kolaca:

Zagrejati rernu na 190 stepeni.

Sipati sadrzaj teglice u ciniju, dodati ½ solje omeksalog maslaca, 1 jaje (lagano umuceno) i kasicicu vanila ekstrakta. Izmesati da se sve lepo sjedini. Uzimati po punu kasiku smese pa je oblikovati u kuglicu. Redjati u pleh oblozen papirom za pecenje oko 5 cm udaljene jedne od drugih.

Peci 12 do 14 minuta ili dok lagano ne porumene.

Moji keksici poprimili su kockasti izgled jer sam zanemarila ovu razdaljinu prilikom redjanja u pleh, malo sam ih vise nagurala, a oni se jaaaako sire u toku pecenja pa je to dovelo do spajanja keksica i ovog neobicnog oblika ;)

To make Laura's Hot Cocoa Mix:
Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of mix to your favorite mug and fill with boiling water or hot coffee. Stir to blend. Add some marshmallows or cream.
