With these simple tips and tricks, you can easily whip up delicious desserts that everyone in the family will love. From cakes and cookies to pies and ice creams, we’ll show you how to make classic desserts that your kids will never forget!
Brownies
There’s nothing like a nostalgic dessert to bring back childhood memories. And what could be more classic (or kid-friendly) than brownies? These rich, chocolatey squares are the perfect treat for any occasion.
But if you’re not careful, brownies can be dry, crumbly, and even burnt. Follow these tips and you’ll be sure to bake up a batch of perfect brownies every time.
First, make sure you have the right ingredients. You’ll need sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Then, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next, it’s time to start mixing. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients until everything is well combined.
Pour the batter into an 8×8-inch baking dish that has been lined with parchment paper or greased with butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
Funfetti Cake
When it comes to classic desserts that are perfect for your kids, few things are as beloved as Funfetti cake. This cake is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. The key to making a perfect Funfetti cake is to use quality ingredients and to follow the recipe to the letter. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to make a Funfetti cake that will have your kids begging for more.
Peanut Butter Cups
As much as kids love PB&J, there’s something about a peanut butter cup that makes it even more irresistible. And while you can always buy them pre-made, it’s actually not that hard to make your own. All you need is some peanut butter, chocolate chips, and a little bit of time.
Start by melting the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Once they’re melted, add in the peanut butter and stir until combined. Then, using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each cupcake liner with the mixture. Be sure to leave enough space at the top for the cups to seal when you put them in the fridge.
Let the cups set for at least an hour before serving. And if you want to get really fancy, you can drizzle some melted chocolate on top before they go into the fridge.
