Hiii,

Ok, so how is everyone doing?  We have been having something close to 40 degrees in Greece, and we are coming close to exhaustion from the constant heatwaves. I did speak to a few friends in the states, that are also going through heatwaves…and my husband who is still in NL.  It hit 43 degrees yesterday!!! this is seriously not gooddddd but all I can say is hang in there guys!!! 

I asked if anyone wanted me to make something to drink like Ice Tea or Lemonade, and I barely got any responses, but I did get a lot of “what about a dessert”??? I thought to myself, going to the supermarket in the heat???  ufff  I finally did go, and picked up the ingredients that I needed to make this scrumptious cake.  Which at the moment does not exists anymore. (It was gone in less than an hour)  I went to pick up the Milk that I needed, and found this really Old Fashion Vintage bottle of Milk!!  I remember my mom showing some pictures of what the bottles looked like in Greece back in the days, but I never thought I would actually find one.  My husband got a kick out of it because he kind of remembers these bottles.  So, I thought you might enjoy seeing one. 🙂

So, this morning I woke up and headed for the kitchen for breakfast.  Once I poured my coffee and had a few sips, I started on the cake.  It was time to make this easy No Bake Chocolate Cookie Cake a SERIOUSLY COOL DESSERT!!! 🙂

Have a Happy Thursday!!

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 package Oreo Cookies or any Chocolate Cookies  (crushed)

300 grams Bitter Chocolate

3 tablespoons Vanilla Extract (optional)

2 package Vanilla Pudding

2 cups Milk

50 grams Butter (melted)

 

PREPARATION:

 

In a large bowl combine melted butter with crushed Chocolate Cookies.

Spread cookie mix into a crust.

Crush cookies into smaller pieces.

Melt Bitter Chocolate

I though you might enjoy seeing how the Greek milk was bottled in the old days 🙂  I found this at the super market and found it interesting, since I have never seen a bottle of Milk like this before. 🙂

Add Milk into pudding and stir until combined.

Add the curshed cookies into the Vanilla pudding and mix thoroughly.

Once the cake is done, leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours before eating.

KALI MAS OREXI!!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Oooo this looks so good! Thanks for the recipe, Sophie, will bookmark this! Yum yummmm. We're having an odd, rare heatwave in the UK at the moment but it's highs of 32 degrees C where I am. Stay as cool as you can, your husband too, and hang in there. Maybe put your face in the freezer for a few minutes if you feel like you're melting away! 😂 xx
