I know it's not dessert, but 20min mac n cheese in the air fryer literally saved my house from baking.

I took whatever I had on hand to try this and it still came out delicious.

I always prefer Swiss meringue, buttercream over American buttercream!

Bottom
- 100g Grenadine (3 parts water, 1 part grenadine
- 3g Calcium Lactate
Top
- 30g Wray and Nephew
- 70g Homemade pineapple juice
- 3g Calcium Lactate
Sodium Alginate Bath
- 5g Sodium Alginate
- 1 Liter Distilled Water

1. Create grenadine mixture, pour a little in each ice mold, put in the freezer until frozen
2. Once frozen pour pineapple rum mixture over the top and in separate sections for little shots
3. Freeze cocktail and shots in the ice cube trays
4. Using an immersion blender, combine sodium alginate and distilled water in a large airtight bowl
5. Let sit until the bubbles dissipate. This can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 48 hours. 
6. Warm the sodium alginate bath to about 125 degrees F and prepare the cold water baths
7. Depending on the size of your container, drop 1-3 frozen cocktails/shots into the sodium alginate bath & gently stir the water with a spoon (be careful not to touch pod with the spoon until the membrane has formed)
8. Pick up the pod with a spoon (drain out excess liquid in spoon) & transfer to the first cold water bath
9. Rinse thoroughly by stirring the water, repeat the process with the second bath
10. Serve or store in a mason jar filled with a holding liquid made up of the cocktail (minus the calcium)

First time making tres leches, hoping that the recipient loves it!

Unlike many of my other recipes, I was unable to really gauge how this came out because while I’ve had tres leches before, I’m not a fan of the texture.

Nevertheless, it was a fun process!

Peach cobbler cake. Fresh peaches, spiced cobbler filling, buttermilk vanilla cake flipped upside down.

The peaches lost some color and the crumb was a little dense, but the flavor was exactly what I was going for.

Switching up from baking on this one. Wanted to try my dad’s brown stew chicken and let’s just say I need to shadow him a bit more. But it’s still tasty!
