Ingredients
- A batch of classic pancakes
- 1 punnet of blueberries
- Maple syrup
- Fresh mint leaves
In today’s competitive market environment, the body copy of your entry must lead the reader through a series of disarmingly simple thoughts.
All your supporting arguments must be communicated with simplicity and charm. And in such a way that the reader will read on. (After all, that’s a reader’s job: to read, isn’t it?) And by the time your readers have reached this point in the finished copy, you will have convinced them that you not only respect their intelligence, but you also understand their needs as consumers.
Directions
- Spread each pancake with a little natural yoghurt.
- Stack the pancakes 3 high with banana pieces in between; you can also add a little brown sugar to the bananas if you like.
- Top the stack with two slices of orange, a good dollop of natural yoghurt and scatter with blueberries; drizzle with maple syrup and finish with mint leaves.
- Serve immediately while still warm!
As a result of which, your entry will repay your efforts. Take your sales; simply put, they will rise. Likewise your credibility. There’s every chance your competitors will wish they’d placed this entry, not you. While your customers will have probably forgotten that your competitors even exist. Which brings us, by a somewhat circuitous route, to another small point, but one which we feel should be raised.

The post Apple Pie first appeared on kingcooks.]]>The best desserts are the ones that are easy to make, but taste like it’s been baking for hours! Today, I’ll be sharing with you a no-bake cheesecake recipe that is guaranteed to please your sweet tooth.
You heard right, no-bake cheesecake truffles. They are simple to make and hold well in the fridge for several days. But I doubt that they will last you longer than two days. Lol.
I decided to make them three different ways: Classic Strawberry, Oreo, and Chocolate Chip.
First things first, you’ll start with the base for the truffles. For the Oreo and chocolate chip truffles, you will make a plain base by mixing the cream cheese, butter, lime juice, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly and set in the fridge to chill.
For the strawberry truffles, you’ll make a delicious strawberry glaze by adding strawberries, sugar and water to a pot over medium heat. Once the strawberries start breaking down, mix with a hand mixer or blend until smooth and set it aside to cool. Once the glaze is cooled to room temperature, swirl in 2 tbsp. of the strawberry glaze into the plain base to give it a nice tart and sweet taste in the end. Set the mixture in the fridge to cool for at least two hours.
While they are chilling in the fridge, you can go ahead and make the coating of your choice. I went with graham crackers, Oreos and chocolate chip cookies. (I used the mini versions of the Oreo cookies and chocolate chip because they are easier to manage and cheaper). Working in batches, one coating at a time, add to your food processor and pulse until you get a fine powder. Of course, during this part, I was eating the Oreo cookies before I could get them processed, lol. But thankfully I bought enough for me and this recipe.
Once everything is cooled, roll one tbsp. of the base into truffles and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This recipe should make 15-16 truffles. Return to the fridge one last time to set for 20 mins. Remove from the fridge, and roll each truffle in the coating of your choice! Don’t forget to make a mess like I did, it’s way more fun lol.
After you’ve got all your truffles coated, drizzle each with the topping your choice! For the classic strawberry, drizzle the top of each truffle with the strawberry glaze. For the Oreo, drizzle each truffle with melted white chocolate. And for the chocolate chip, drizzle each truffle with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Now you can enjoy these little truffles and much as I have. Really simple, fool-proof recipe for all my cheesecake lovers out there! Drop a comment and let me know how you like them! Your input, as always, is greatly appreciated.
Remember to always cook like a king. Until next time!
