Affogato, Italian for "drown," is a description normally reserved for ice cream doused in espresso. Here we take that same principle and swap out the espresso...
I use this recipe when making my rose cake, my hydrangea cake, or any cake that I want the frosting to be able to hold its shape! This makes quite a bit, but can be refrigerated quite easily. And yes, I sometimes use half crisco/half butter. This recipe is SWEET. Super sweet.
As the name implies this recipe does not originate in Germany, it is the Balgian cousin of the German Schnitzel and widely popular in Germany. There are many variations of the Cordon Bleu but traditionally in Germany it is a fried Schnitzel filled with Ham and Cheese.
These sweet potato pancakes, stuffed with ricotta cheese and dripping with maple syrup, are just too good to be true. Seriously, they might be illegal.
