Mocha Java Sorbet Made In Freezer

I am always looking for new frozen desserts.  It's summer and it's hot!  Okay, we eat frozen goodness all year.  Anyway, I was looking for a different one and found many for mocha java sorbet.   There are four of us that drink morning coffee.  The younger ones are more coffee flavored milk.  We like chocolate, too.  Hmmm, something for us to definitely try!  It turned out great!  Except...seems there is an exception a lot these days, I didn't have semi sweet chocolate squares and used milk chocolate chips instead.  Very chocolaty and yummy but the coffee is an aftertaste.  Use semi sweet if you are looking for more of a coffee taste or replace the water with coffee or both, which is what I will do next time.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Thursday's Treasures Week 47

It's storming here!  Not the best of time with scared little dogs and boys!  Thank goodness I had supper ready before the storm came.

Last week we had the most links ever!  I cannot thank you all enough for sharing your treasured recipes along with memories.  Each recipe has a story behind it.  There is always something that you think about when you prepare them.  Don't you agree?  The old recipes remind me of my parents, grandparents, rotten sisters, a weekend at the lake, vacations...  Newer ones are associated with my boys, what we were doing when I first made this recipe and how much they like this one and oh boy, that one didn't go over so well!  ~smile~

Please visit my lovely co-hostess, Joan of Chocolate, Chocolate and More on her blog and facebook page.  She is so sweet and the best cook!  Say "hi" and give her love and hugs from me.  I'm trying to comment on as many links as possible, which hasn't been very possible lately.  I haven't been able to pin either.  Hopefully that will change once the boys start back to school and I get into a routine again.  Thank you again...for all the love shared behind your recipes.  Love and Hugs, Sweet Ones!

Blueberry Orange Frozen Yogurt and YoPops

Do you want something so scrumptious you just want it all for yourself?  Well, do you?  Okay then, here it is and it's even healthy!  It's loaded with a burst of flavor in each bite!  Make this wonderful frozen healthy snack, dessert or heck, meal (for me at least!) and be an instant super star of the day!  These are Wade's newest favorite this to eat.  He can eat them all day and almost devoured all of it by himself!  Enjoy!  Love and hugs!  



Blueberry Orange Frozen Yogurt and YoPops

2  to 2 1/2 cups non fat plain yogurt, homemade is great (recipe soon)
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
2/3 cup sugar, more or less, depending on how sweet you want it
4 cup blueberries, frozen, I used half of each..that's what I had

NOTE>>>>>>My blender was FULL!  I made at least 6 cups of liquid.  I made 4 full size yopops and poured the rest in a glass casserole dish.  Just half the recipe if you do not wish to make a lot!  

Clean blueberries if using fresh.  I like to freeze them first and use them right out of the freezer.  They are great to snack on also.
Get pop containers and/or freezer safe pan, ready to pour liquid in.
Blend 2 cups yogurt, 1/2 blueberries, sugar and orange juice. Blend. Add remaining blueberries. Taste.  Add more sugar if desired.  Add rest of yogurt if needed.  
Pour in popsicle molds and freeze until firm, about 3 hours, more or less.  Put bottom of container in warm water for 15 seconds to make it easier to remove from mold.  
For frozen yogurt, pour into freezer proof container. Put in freezer and freeze until firm. Take out, break into chunks. Put in food processor and pulse until smooth or in a chilled bowl and beat with mixer until smooth.  Eat now or return to freezer and freeze until hard.  Scoop out and serve immediately!

Edited to remove 1/2 milk in directions.

Dark Chocolate Upside Down Cake

An old recipe my Grandma and Mama would make.  It's also known as Chocolate Cobbler.  Very simple yet wonderful.  It's just what your chocolate lovers are wanting!  A thin cake with a thick chocolate sauce. You can easily double this to make a thicker cake.  When ready to serve, cut a piece, flip it over with a spatula and see the amazement on faces gathered 'round.  
Enjoy!  Love and hugs!

Thursday's Treasures Week 45

It's August already.  Hot and Humid, August!  I find myself still wanting to bake yet not wanting to because of the heat.  The poor AC runs non-stop while I cook, even with fans blowing to try and cool the air the least little bit.  Perhaps I want to bake more now because I know I shouldn't.  lol  Regardless, I am on a venture to make treats for my little dogs.  I did make some today and my little ones loved them.  The kitties did also.  ~smile~  I hope to have some pet recipes up soon.  Do you cook for your other babies?  Mine were so happy today, each time I went into the kitchen they came running in to see if I made them something new.  Love and Hugs!

Are you ready for Thursday's Treasures?  I  know I am!  Please share your recipes and memories with us..there is no limit.  Also, the party goes on all week.  Come back often to share and get fantastic recipes for your week and weekend.  I'd love for you to share with your friends and fans.  The more company, the better.  

Stop by and give Joan Chocolate, Chocolate and More,  a like and follow her on her blog
and facebook.  You will be so happy you did!  *smile*
