Devil Dog Dessert Recipes

DEVIL DOGS

Steps:

• Cream together butter and 1 cup sugar, add egg. Sift together 2 cups flour, cocoa, soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking powder. Add vanilla and milk.
• Drop by tablespoon full onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake 7-8 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cool completely and make sandwiches using following filling.
• To Make Filling: Combine 2 1/2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 cup milk and cook until it turns to thick paste. Cool completely.
• Cream together the 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup shortening, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add cooled paste and beat until fluffy. (This will take awhile and if your paste is not completely cooled it will look curdled. ) I usually double this recipe for the filling.

DEVIL DOG DESSERT

Steps:

• 1. Break or cut devil dogs into 4th's,line bottom of bowl, I like to use a clear trifle bowl. Add a Splash of Kalhua, if serving the under 21 crowd then of course omit.
• 2. Spread a layer of pudding (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick),sprinkle toffe bar on, then layer of whipped cream (about 1 inch thick). To save time I sometimes use cool whip and the already made pudding.
• 3. Repeat, starting with devil dogs until bowl is full, making whipped cream top layer. If I have it I grate some chocolate bars or sprinkle toffee bar on top! ENJOY

CASSIES DEVIL DOG CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a cupcake tin with nonstick cooking spray - I use bakers secret. I did not line the tin with papers. So, you may want to sprinkle with a little flour if not using spray that contains it. You can make the Ganache now, if using it. That way it has plenty of time to thicken. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Do not boil...when you see bubbles around the inside edge of pan, its ready to pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for a few minutes so the chocolate has time to melt. Now whisk until all the chocolate is mixed into the cream. It will set up and get thicker as it cools. If you want it thicker, add more chips. If not hot enough to melt, place in microwave for 30 seconds, stir again. Set aside.
• 2. In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
• 3. In another bowl, mix coffee, water, vanilla, egg, vinegar and oil.
• 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until well combined and smooth.
• 5. I then added 1/4 cup of batter for each cupcake in the cupcake tin.
• 6. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until pick comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack. About 5 minutes. I took a thin knife and went around the edges of the cupcake just to make sure none were sticking. Remove from tin and set aside.
• 7. Make filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the shortening and marshmallow fluff. Beat for about 3 minutes till nice and fluffy.
• 8. On low speed, beat in the sugar and vanilla; until well blended and fluffy.
• 9. Cut the tops from the cupcake about 1/2 inch down from top. I took a small baggie and filled with the cream. Cut a hole in the bottom corner of one side. Pipe the cream onto the cupcake base. About 2 tablespoons worth. Replace the top.
• 10. Now, you can either spread the tops with ganache...or sprinkle with powdered sugar or leave plain. Delicious! Enjoy! Note: After these were finished and I began typing out my recipe...I realized I forgot sugar in my cake...lol! Believe it or not, there was enough sweetness in the filling and Ganache, I never realized I forgot it... So, if you want a sugarless cake, go ahead...they were still wonderful. Lol! Just make sure you add the filling and Ganache...lol!
