Aunt Betty, this one’s for you. I will always remember your fabulous holiday trifles after you went to Oxford. I had never made one before, so ordered the bowl and came up with the recipe for a Tropical Trifle that includes a GF Passionfruit Curd Swiss Roll, Coconut Crumble with Pineapple and Coconut Rum, Vanilla Custard, Mango Jelly, Whipped Cream, and topped with Cherries. #Jax510Bakes #GlutenFreeBaking #TropicalTrifle #PassionfruitCurd #MangoJelly (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoIYA-BOZi/?igshid=1m0bqwfm5mp1u

Happy Happy Birthday @hilarybelieves!! Fun birthday baking — Ode to the Hilary Honey Bee Entremet! Not too bad for assembling/creating backward in pieces instead of all together. Next time, all together though for cleaner lines. #Jax510Bakes #GlutenFreeBaking #GFbaking #GBBO (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYY25XBXGQ/?igshid=54r1hhgdiqr4

Quick, easy, and flourless — so great if you can’t find flour right now — Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies.

Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF, grease an 8 in. pan. 2. Melt peanut butter in a double boiler, or in a heat resistant bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stir peanut butter until melted. 3. Remove from stove top and add milk, eggs, and vanilla to the melted peanut butter and whisk until creamy and fully combined. 4. Add the sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the batter, and mix. 5. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter and mix together. 6. Pour the batter into the greased pan. 7.

When soft you can easily spread. 9. Let cool to serve.

Was a fun weekend full of baking and kitchen adventures... starting with dal and garlic naan last night, raspberry jam and pancakes this morning, and some not so pretty but yummy passionfruit mango macarons this afternoon. #Jax510Bakes #GlutenFreeBaking #GFbaking #PassionfruitCurd #MangoButtercream (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_MDB8NBj1k/?igshid=1m90qwlqkfbup
