My girl friend Heather and I would often make these at her house. We almost always doubled the crust and would eat one batch of it as the second batch baked.
Now Adrian loves lemon desserts and this is one of his favorites.
Great Grandma’s Pizzelles
Grandma Bea would make pizzelles and store them in tin coffee containers. After she died, my parents bought a pizzelle maker and passed the recipe on to Andrea.
Cream Puffs
When Andrea was nine years old, she discovered cream puffs. She wanted to learn to bake them and would keep asking for me to teach her. Finally, I gave her a recipe for French Profiteroles and let her make a batch. Was she surprised to learn they were cream puffs.
While we usually eat these with whipped cream and homemade nutella or chocolate sauce, they are also very good with vanilla ice cream.
Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Brownies
Andrea wanted a less sweet grain free brownie. It is slightly crumbly and a little dry, but goes wonderfully with ice cream or whipped cream.
If you want it sweeter, replace part or all of the unsweetened chocolate with semi sweet baking chocolate.
