Zucchini slice

I love zucchini slice but there are a million zucchini slice recipes flying all over the internet.  This is one that I have been making for years and it makes a huge tray that can feed a big family (very cheaply). Great at a party or for a light weeknight meal served with salad & garlic bread. I made a tray today to keep for lunches this week.

Enjoy,
Amanda

Oreo cheesecake balls



I wrote this post for Aldi Mum a few months ago and thought I would share it with you now.  Christmas is the perfect time :)

OMG! These are so easy to make and taste amazing – and with only 4 ingredients.  They are great to keep in the fridge for that late night chocolate fix, to serve at a party or to make as a gift for a friend.  You can save time and skip the white chocolate drizzle but it makes them look so good.  Oh, how I love that ALDI sells Oreos! 

Ingredients: 



  • 2 x 200g pkts Oreo biscuits
  •  250g cream cheese
  • 200g milk chocolate
  •  50g white chocolate


 
Step 1 - Line a large airtight container with baking paper.  Set aside.

Step 2 - Process Oreo biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb consistency.

Step 3 - Add cream cheese & process until combined.  

Step 4 - Roll into balls (approx. golf ball size) & lay in the prepared container.  Refrigerate or     
             freeze until balls harden.

Step 5 - Break milk chocolate into pieces & place in a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave in    
              30 secs bursts, stirring each time until melted. Take care not to burn the chocolate.     
              Coat the balls in chocolate & refrigerate until set.

Step 6 - Melt white chocolate (using the same process in step 5) & drizzle over chocolate balls.


Storage:               - In fridge, in airtight container for up to 1 week.  

                             - Freeze in airtight container for up to 2 months.
