This might easily be the most sinful treat I have ever made in my whole life.

Just imagine the luscious layers of crushed Oreo cookies, peanut butter and whipped cream mixture… with some additional whipped cream and chocolate on top. Magic!

Needles to say that here, in our house, we enjoyed this dessert a lot. In between the delighted oohs and aahs we managed to agree that we are allowing ourselves to have something similar in not less than a year. The calories and the sin, you know.

And you know what? We can’t wait until that day comes…

1. First, the Oreos… try to resist.

I think life is perfect.

I really do.

I believe so for many different reasons. Like… recently for example, just when I was starting to think that I might have seen every single cheesecake type and variety in the world I stumbled upon this wonderful recipe and a whole new cheesecake dimension opened up before my eyes.

Life is perfect.

And these cheesecake cupcakes are too…

This is what you need to get as soon as possible.

To make the crust, I used store-bought oatmeal cookies that I pulsed in the food processor. And I loved that taste.

But, surely, graham crackers will do just fine.

I know what you’re asking.

You are asking: ‘Petra, if I eat this, when am I allowed to eat next? In seven days? In two weeks? A year? It looks so rich.’

I truly don’t know the answer to that question.

But what I do know is that St.Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and on that day all things luscious and sinful are more than allowed.

Luscious and sinful, that’s exactly what this dessert is.

And here is how you can make it too…

To make the crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

2. In a food processor, pulse the nuts and cookies until small crumbs form. Melt the butter and add it to the nut-cookie mixture.

Rice Pudding

Rice pudding used to be one of my most favorite treats when I was a kid.

My beloved Mom liked to prepare it quite often. Sometimes she made a rice pudding, and sometimes she turned rice pudding into a sweet rice pie, a lovely comfort food which you achieve by baking sweet boiled rice for a couple of minutes and then you serve it with fruit syrup. I liked that one too. But frankly, I liked it much better when my Mom had a bit of a lazy day and declared ‘That’s it!’ over a pot of steaming and fragrant boiled rice. I can still remember those days… the pot was green, the rice was sweet, and the life was magical.

Oh yeah, childhood… but back to the recipe… this is how I made the treat today…

This is what we need.

Oh, how I love simplicity.
