A group of my bloggy friends and I decided to start baking our way through the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook. The recipes in the cookbook are from the Momofuku Milk Bar in New York City, and the desserts are so innovative, fresh, and look friggin' delicious! I am super duper excited to start baking them up and, of course, eat them!
Milk Bar Mondays will be held every three weeks, starting today. Each week, someone will be the host and will have the featured recipe on their blog. This week's recipe is hosted by Audra at The Baker Chick, so make sure you head over there for the recipe.
Let's talk about these truffles for a minute. Hooooly crap they're awesome. Each component was mind-blowingly good, but together? Omigod!!! Definitely my new favorite dessert! Matt doesn't even like carrot cake, but he looooved these.

The recipe actually yields a lot of leftover ingredients. So, you could just make more truffles, orrrrr you could come visit me tomorrow for another yummy treat. :)
Don't forget, if you want the recipe, it's over at Audra's. As for the rest of the Milk Bar Monday crew, meet the ladies! Please go say hi and check out their takes on the Carrot Cake Truffles!

I just got this cookbook, and I'm so in love. These truffles look wonderful - I can't wait to make them. Maybe for Easter?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! They would be perfect for Easter!! Great idea :)
ReplyDeleteThey look sooo good! I had these last week and they were sooo good! I also had the compost, corn flake and marshmallow and peanut butter cookies... Crack pie, cinnamon bun pie and birthday cake truffles lol...I treat myself to Momofuku once a month (I have the cookbook but I'm totally intimidated). I'll be reading your blog from this point on because your directions seem way easier =)
ReplyDeletevery cool idea gals! i think i'm gonna have to make some of these asap!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Nicole! Your truffles look FANTASTIC!! I just love how you put them in the little paper cups and your photographs are gorgeous. Consider yourself pinned with gusto!! :)
