Two recipes I’m trying out for our Christmas Day family party at This Old House…
Spumoni Truffle Squares
2 (12-ounce) bags white chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped pistachios
1 cup coarsely chopped dried cherries
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1. Coat a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking spray. Line with waxed or parchment paper, allowing the excess to overhang the edges of the pan.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Stir in vanilla, pistachios and cherries.
3. Transfer to the prepared pan. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
4. Using the overhanging edges of the waxed or parchment paper, lift out of the pan. Trim any uneven edges, then cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator; let come to room temperature before serving.
Oreo Cheesecake cupcakes
22 Oreos, 16 left whole, and 6 coarsely chopped
2 8-oz packages cream cheese, at room temperature (Neufchatel is fine)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 275 F.
Line 12 standard muffin tins and 4 ramekins (or 16 muffin tins, if you have them) with paper liners.
Place 1 whole Oreo in the bottom of each lined cup.
Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla.
Pour in the beaten eggs, a little at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
Beat in the sour cream and salt.
Stir in chopped cookies by hand.
Pour the batter into the prepared tins, filling each almost to the top.
Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, 22-25 minutes.
Cool in the pans for about 15 minutes, on a wire rack, then transfer to a plate
in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

They do look mouthwateringly good. If I can find dried cherries somewhere (I'm sure they must be for sale somewhere in the Netherlands.), I just have to make them 😉
Those look scrumptious!…:)JP
