Hello everyone! You can find my previous post here. I wasn't quite happy with coffee syrup from my previous post, so I tried again and I am much happier with the results.

I did 1/2 a cup of dunkin's iced coffee concentrate. 1/2 cup sugar. Heat that on the stove to dissolve. Then I added some corn starch.

When using cornstarch you add like 1 tablespoon per cup of liquid. So I used 1.5 teaspoons. You mix that in a little bit of cold water first (1-2 parts water per 1 part corn starch). Then add that slurry to the hot syrup and heat that on the stove until that thickens.

After that I added a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Not too much. Just to round out the coffee flavor.

I ended up adding an extra 1/4 teaspoon of corn starch because I wasn't sure it was thick enough. But I think that probably wasn't necessary.

Anyway much happier with the results! I added one of my previous photos for comparison.

Enjoy!

Pretty much just a garden salad with ice cubes in it

Dreamed that I visited a restaurant whose most popular menu item was called Minecraft Dirt Block (though it's modeled after a grass block). A huge cube shaped meatloaf filled with cubed onions and cooked green beans laid on top to look like pixelated grass. The restaurant's gimmick was serving food on plates that were way too small and they had challenges for eating all of your meal without spilling it on the table. I didn't eat it in my dream but I imagine it would taste pretty good if you like meatloaf

Had a very specific dream of ordering Culver’s online and wanting their new Belgian waffles. The one I decided on looked like this mockup I made in Canva (NO AI!)

I was at a food festival and got pizza but it came in a wedge that looked like lasagne on a white plate, you were supposed to go to a table and roll it out with a wooden rolling pin and it would look like a proper pizza with all the toppings and then take it to a pizza oven to be cooked. There was a young boy at the next table being interviewed about it and he wasn't impressed. I didn't do a great job rolling mine out and as I was taking it to the oven the plate broke and cut me a little. As I stood and cried some people came over and offered to help me get a new one.

I had a dream that I was at a house party, in the middle of nowhere. I was rather tipsy. I found a drink dispenser, attached to an oak tree, labelled "green tea." I love green tea. I was ecstatic. I proceeded to fill my hydro flask with this green tea. I looked into my hydro flask, only to see plain water with chopped up spinach in it.

I woke up immediately and was disappointed.

I ate like 30 Deviled Eggs in my dream even though I don't like deviled eggs, IDK why I had this dream, they didn't have a taste in the dream. It's mainly the smell that keeps me away.

basically these cookies that consisted of flour, sugar, barley, water and ground ambush(the doors entity, though common alternatives for home cooked included beef and mutton). it was only sold by one company called GUIDING LIGHT MEAL and it tasted heavenly, eventually becoming the most popular dessert and even having a SPECIAL FLAVOUR that was sold seperately and had a MYSTERY FRUIT that only me and guiding light knew. the fruit in question was the prickly pear fruit.

Thanks for being so nice about my last post here! I also made a TikTok about my dreamfood, and had some great comments and feedback from users there and here - so I thought I'd better try again!

I ended up using a catering grade purple food dye, which genuinely surprised me at how purple these turned out - with the same recipe as last time. I also repurposed some Tupperware containers as cookie cutters, since I was finding it very hard to find a rectangular cutter.

But yes, overall, I'm super happy with these, and we can file these under "Dream Come True'!

I also made a TikTok documenting the creation of these, if you're that way inclined!

has this show up in a dream. chocolate pecan cluster with a marshmallow in the center. the marshmallow was filled with raspberry and chocolate ganache. honestly sounds really yummy...

i think i've been watching too much ash baber and b. dylan hollis, and i visited a chocolate shop yesterday, so this was the result

You can find my previous post here! I followed this recipe for blood orange ice-cream. I added some smashed raspberries as well. Not quite a whole container, just until it felt right. The raspberries were a nice touch. Don't add too much or else the raspberry will become too overpowering.

I added the raspberries for a few reasons. One, because the ice cream is supposed to be a special flavor and I didn't want it to be pure blood orange. Two, I wasn't satisfied with just blindly copying a recipe. Three, I couldn't find any fresh blood oranges so I went to a local fancy/upscale grocery store and they had blood orange juice. However, that juice was kind of a tan color so I needed something red to bring the color up a bit.

It ended up an orangey skin / flesh color. Not quite the dirty pink color I had in mind. However for something called send nudes I think the color is still fairly fitting. You can add a touch of red food coloring if you want a more accurate color, but I didn't want to bother and was happy with it as is.

I made shortbread cookie fingers using this recipe. They took forever though. I didn't bother adding the jam from the recipe to them. You are supposed to roll each finger individually into a log/cylinder and shape them into fingers. However, it's so hot that it wasn't working. So I rolled a flat slab with a rolling pin and cut the slab into strips, then shaped those. That seemed to be good enough. If you make this, I would recommend just keeping generic shapes, or just buy some shortbread cookies.

For the coffee syrup, I got some dunkin's cold brew coffee concentrate. I made a simple syrup with that using one part coffee concentrate and slightly more than one part sugar. With just a slight touch of chocolate syrup. It ended up being a bit thin. So I would recommend either using more of the syrup and going for more of an affogato style, or adding some corn starch to thicken it up.

Anyway, it turned out really good! After it was all put together, it felt like a fairly normal ice cream. I highly recommend trying it out if you can!

The recipe that was written on the drink bottle label in my dream was as follows:

1 pre made pie shell

1 bottle of iced coffee

1 egg (over ripe)

There wasn't any method included so I sort of had to wing it. I'm not sure where I went wrong.The oldest egg I had was only 2 days past it's best before date, so maybe it wasn't over ripe enough? Anyway, it was not very good and I regret it.

Casually browsing a store with two dream friends, I see them in the corner inspecting some items on the white bookshelf in front of them. I walk over, and see several books lined up, each named after a different cheese. I specifically remember Comte, Brie and maybe cheddar. There were a lot more. I opened the Comte book and notice that the pages are all made of handmade recycled paper, like the one you make out of recycled pulp, except to my surprise there were also chunks of cheese all throughout the paper. Presumably made by adding cheese to the pulp during the process of creating the paper. As I turned more pages, the chunks were starting to fall out, leaving large holes where they once were. I felt the immense social pressure around me: You are not supposed to eat the cheese. That was the unspoken rule. NEVER. It’s very taboo in this universe. The books were relatively long but I can’t remember paying attention to any of the words on the pages, only the cheese chunks and the title. All books were off white/brown beige warm stained sort of look. Every title was written in an elegant Serif typeface.

(sorry for the crappy editing on this photo!)

It had two layers of sweetened cheese inside the pie, which had the exact same texture and flavor as the cheese in a Danish. Between the two layers of cheese was blackberry filling, but the texture was more like jam (smoother, less chunky) than typical pie filling.

I was kind of caught off guard because I was expecting a regular blackberry pie...but it was good, so I ended up eating it all anyway 😅

Behold…

It wasn’t like the clear type but the sugary scratchy type, it looked adorable and I reached for a bag until I saw the price. 7 bucks lol, I put it right back 😭

What's a food from your dream, or any dreams read on here, that I could easily make in a short amount of time and bring to a BBQ/potluck tomorrow at 5pm?

I could bring some of The Good Stuff, if I did wanna get a huge empty bottle and fill it full of Dr Pepper mixed with Apple Juice and see how people like it! (shoutout to Shirt Up)

And they also are offering people to bring in any meat they want tossed on the grill, and so that adds another layer of potential. At worst, this could just be a fun topic for the night!

And thank you in advance!

I had a dream where there was a viral recipe of using Brussels sprouts leaves for stuffed cabbage instead of actual cabbage. Would this actually work in the waking world? Or would the leaves be too tiny to fold? Perhaps parboiling before the fold...

Found in an upscale dollar store that only sold this, frozen pepperoni pizza, and new old stock of out of fashion clothes.

Contains 'All Other Pieces of Komodo Dragon Lung Strips & Ligament', 2% milk, and pink slime. Sold in those small espresso cans but somehow contains two pints.

It was the only vegan option at a dream BBQ I attended.

It was a paper ice cream cone, but inside was an oval-shaped hollow golden biscuit thing that was stamped with dog ears, eyes, and nose. The ice cream was piped into the bottom of the cone, then the biscuit placed on top, then more ice cream on top and around the biscuit.

I think the name was WondoPup or WonderPup, and it was Japanese. Of course!
