cleochatra · 09-18-2010, 04:19 PM

Thank you! I am a total dessert baking girl. I don't eat much of it. I just like making it and looking at it. I'm sorry the picture's not better. I'll have more coming. I'm working on holiday recipes now.

The picture's not better? Are you kidding? It's perfect! I'm not sure how it could get any better than this.

cleochatra · 09-20-2010, 09:55 AM

Lunch. I love my diet:

I should learn to never look at this thread when I am hungry.

cleochatra · 09-20-2010, 10:30 AM

I have more cheesecake. Come over.

Here are the oopsie rolls fresh out of the oven:

I'm going to use these with shredded barbecue beef later.

You live too far away. And you don't annoy me. Otherwise, we'd be neighbors.

I feel the same way about MY neighbors LOL

Those oopsies are a thing of beauty. I stand in awe. I could never make them and have given up.

copar · 09-20-2010, 02:02 PM

Hi, I am with dollkey, I can never get my oopsie rolls close to that. I let the egg whites come to room temp., I have played music for them, talked to them and nothing. I guess it is all in the incorporating the whites with the yolks, or vice versa. I have given up as well. Teresa

cleochatra · 09-20-2010, 02:09 PM

Don't give up! It's worth the continued effort. Do you have a stand mixer? If so, you can use that to whip the snot out of the whites. You just want those stiff peaks to form.

Then you only want to drag the spoon through once in a sine wave in each direction to combine the mixture. You don't want to stir in the cream cheese with the whites.

DEEDLYNN · 09-20-2010, 02:46 PM

Thanks for posting that video link. I just watched it and I'm ready to give this a shot again. I may even do it tonight.

I tried the Floopsies and they are good, but...I have always had secret Oopsie envy that I couldn't do them.

If you are struggling...take the 13 minutes to watch that video....it's not nearly as scary after seeing someone else do it start to finish!

sweet irony · 09-20-2010, 03:09 PM

I've made several batches and now swear by the addition of a couple pinches of xanthan gum to the whites sprinkled in just as they start to get frothy. Mine have never failed yet with this little extra ingredient. Maybe it allows for a wider margin of error? (Or maybe I've just been lucky and now have jinxed myself.)

cleochatra · 09-20-2010, 03:29 PM

I think xanthan's not a bad idea at all, sweet! I've tossed in some ThickenThin from time to time when I didn't want any face palm from the rolls. I do think it helps a little bit.

Rbenz · 09-20-2010, 04:34 PM

Thx for the Video Clip, Cleo.

Instant drool factor. Looks so delicious and rich/creamy. Mmm will have to make it for Thanksgiving.

cleochatra · 09-21-2010, 07:14 AM

The crust is walnut/macadamia/almond

To make the blackberry topping, I used my strawberry sauce recipe, tossed in an extra half cup of xylitol and a splash of lemon juice. (I made the recipe to taste since the blackberries were more tart than I wanted).

It was amazing!

cleochatra · 09-22-2010, 08:13 AM

Breakfast: Oopsie McMuffin and iced tea.
