Rating: 3/5
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 10 minutes (ready in 1 hour)

Directions:

Not rocket science or anything. Put some scoops of ice cream on a cookie sheet or a plate. Cover them in corn flakes and then throw them (not literally) back in the freezer for 30-60 minutes. You just need them in there long enough for the corn flakes to stick to the ice cream and the scoops to become solid again.

Next preheat some vegetable oil to 350. Place the scoops in the oil for one minute each. Serve and enjoy!

Things you’ll need (duh):

• Fresh strawberries
• 1 bag chocolate chips
• 2 Tbsp shortening

This is a great treat for you and your significant other to enjoy on valentines day. They are extremely easy to make too and you’ll save a bundle from not buying them at the store.

Get some milk chocolate (or your choice) flavored chips from the store. Toss them into a saucepan with the shortening at low heat and let them melt into a liquid. The shortening makes the chocolate creamy and helps keep it from sticking to the wax paper. While they are melting you can wash your fresh strawberries. Then get out a cooking sheet and put a piece of wax paper on it. Once the chocolate is ready, roll the strawberries with a liberal coating of chocolate and place them the cooking sheet. Next put them in the fridge for 15 minutes or so, until the chocolate stiffens. Now go grab your partner and enjoy together.

Things you’ll need:

• Store bought box of brownies
• 2 (8-oz.) blocks of cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tub of vanilla frosting
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 (21-oz.) can of cherry pie filling

First of all make some brownies in a 13×9 pan. You can choose any type that look good at your local grocery store. While they are cooking, you can make the topping. Start by adding the softened cream cheese, vanilla frosting and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl; blend well. Spread over the cooled brownies (it should take about 30 minutes for them to cool). Throw them in the fridge for a couple hours or to speed up the process, put them in the freezer for 30 minutes or so. Once the creamy topping is setup, spread the cherry pie filling over the top and serve. It makes about 16 squares, depending on how big you make them. Enjoy this tasty treat, it turns a regular brownie into a heavenly delight.

Things you’ll need:

• 1 tub whipped cream
• 1/2 square cream cheese
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp melted butter

Toppings (of your choice):

• Jam
• Powdered sugar
• Chocolate syrup
• Fresh fruit

First step, make the filling

It is really easy. You simply add whipped cream and cream cheese to a bowl. Not really any science here, just mix it to your taste and liking. You will end up with a mashed potato type consistency.

Second step, make the batter

4 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp melted butter

Measure all ingredients into a bowl; blend for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides. Blend for 15 seconds more. I usually use a hand blender, it is pretty easy blending. It may take you a few minutes longer. You should end up with a pancake sort of batter, only much thinner.

Third step, throw it in a pan

Your batter (if you made it right, duh) will be a thin liquid consistency. Pour a little in a pan and tilt and twirl your pan until it full covers the pans cooking surface. It should be about a quarter inch thick, again not rocket science. I only cook them on one side for a couple minutes. The bottom will end up a little more smooth while the top will be a little spongy.

Fourth and final step, make the crepe

Now this is really the fun part, you get to assemble this tasty treat. I start out by putting a line of the creme cheese and whipped cream mix (that we made earlier) in the center of the crepe. Then I roll it up like a burrito and add jam, chocolate syrup or both on top. Topping it off by sprinkling some powdered sugar on top. If I have some fresh fruit around it is certainly going on top as well. Some people prefer putting everything in the middle. There is no wrong way to make one. Have fun!
