Delicious, creamy velvety treat! So easy and tastes and looks like you spent hrs of prep before freezing... Used 2/3 cup of cocoa powder instead of chocolate syrup, [tastes more chocolaty goodness and way less syrupy sweetness; so better suited to our family's taste] with a pinch of salt and teaspoon of vanilla extract! Have made it a few times already and it comes out great each time!
Liked this recipe. The buttermilk really does give it a satisfying savoury flavour and keeps it moist! I made a few changes in addition to using way less salt (about 3/4 tsp):
1. I cooked the onions in the rendered fat from about 2 ounces of finely cubed/chopped panchetta [this was actually a bit less than 2 tbsp of fat but much more flavourful than butter] and added the crispy pancetta to the meatloaf mixture
2. Just put about 1/4 cup of ketchup in the meatloaf mixture
3. Added about 1/3 cup of ketchup, a few squirts of sriracha sauce, and 1/4cup of apple cider vinegar to the glaze and brushed that over the meatloaf at the 45minute mark. Yum!!
Overall this was the most tasty and moist meatloaf I've had in quite some time. My picky husband had two large servings and is looking forward to a hearty meatloaf sandwich for lunch tomorrow!!
Pretty good! But too crumbly and not as moist as I like. Will follow recipe specs re 11/3 cups of veggie oil next time; instead of cutting back on oil as so many reviewers suggested. Cut back cinnamon to 1 1/2 tsp & added a generous pinch of ground cloves & ground ginger, 1/3 cup crushed fresh pineapple, 3/4 cup raisins, for richer carroty taste. We can’t have & don’t like nuts in cakes, so no nuts. Can substitute unsweetened coconut flakes for texture and flavour. Great taste and not too sweet. Will make again with these adjustments.
Great quick no-bake snack! Followed recipe but also added about 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes! Light, chewy and not too sweet. Will make again with chocolate chips and/or other dried fruit like, cranberries or apricots. Will prob add more chopped peanuts, as well, for some added crunch, as the peanut bits in the crunchy peanut butter aren’t crunchy enough for my liking.
I didn’t have ricotta, or the cookies so substituted cream cheese and crushed oatmeal honey granola bars and graham cracker crumbs. The crumb mix gave this dessert a not too sweet crunchy layer and topping. Really light and creamy dessert. My first-time guest and I both agreed, though, that the creamy cheese mixture was too sweet. The recipe doesn’t need both honey and icing sugar in those quantities, especially if the berries are sweet. My guest initially asked if it was ice cream because it was so creamy. I’d definitely make this again but will reduce the icing sugar or possibly just use honey. Will also try with other fresh fruit, like mango, and perhaps add some unsweetened flaked coconut to the crumb layer & topping!??
