Hi all,

So, mothers day is coming up (I know it's still a few weeks away, but I love mothers day because I love spoiling my mum:p) I had the idea to make her some sort of yummy treat. I've made her cakes and biscuits before so this time I was thinking of maybe making her some sort of slice. The thing is... I got nothing...

I've searched endless amounts of recipes but nothing has jumped out at me, I'm being picky because its important to me that this is perfect. I've tried asking her what her favourite sort of dessert flavour is, to get an idea, but my mum is one of those... indecisive types :rolleyes: so that wasn't much help

So I was hoping that anyone and everyone would be able to give me some good ideas for slice recipes or if not that even some of you're favourite desserts/sweets in general. The help would be fantastic. I think I should also mention that my mum doesn't like really sweet things and she doesn't like chocolate (:eek: weirdo... haha only jokin)

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me get some ideas

Peace and Love :D

3/4 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 Tablespoons flour
1 Tablespoon vanilla
4 eggs
24 caramels pieces

Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream, flour and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.

Bake 45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Place caramels in microwaveable bowl. Add water. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until caramels are completely melted when stirred. Pour over cheesecake; top with reserved walnuts/pecans. Melt chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Double Chocolate Bombe
By the Editors of Easy Home Cooking Magazine

Yield: Makes about 8 servings
Ingredients:
5 egg yolks

1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup sugar

1-1/2 cups whipping cream, divided

Chocolate Cake (recipe follows)

1 white chocolate baking bar (2 ounces) for drizzling

White Chocolate Cut-Outs (recipe follows) for garnish



Preparation:
1. Line 2-quart bowl with plastic wrap; lightly oil.

2. Place egg yolks and 1/2 cup whipping cream in small bowl; beat slightly with fork. Sprinkle gelatin over egg yolk mixture. Let stand without stirring 5 minutes to soften.

3. Melt chocolate chips in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Stir about 1/2 cup melted chocolate into egg yolk mixture. Stir egg yolk mixture back into remaining chocolate in top of double boiler. Continue to heat until gelatin is completely dissolved.

4. Beat egg whites and salt in clean large bowl with electric mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar until stiff peaks form. (After beaters are lifted from egg white mixture, stiff peaks should remain on top, and when bowl is tilted, mixture will not slide around.) Fold chocolate mixture into egg white mixture with rubber spatula.

5. Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form; fold into chocolate mixture. Pour into prepared bowl. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours.

6. Prepare Chocolate Cake and White Chocolate Cut-Outs.

7. Place cake on serving plate. Unmold mousse onto cake. Remove plastic wrap. Trim edge of cake around mousse, if necessary.

8. Place white chocolate baking bar in small resealable freezer bag. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) 2 minutes. Turn bag over; microwave on MEDIUM 2 to 3 minutes or until chocolate is melted. Knead bag until chocolate is smooth. Cut off very tiny corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over mousse. Refrigerate until white chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Garnish, if desired.
