FLEX Chef's Cooking Club: Mexican Street Food and American Desserts
Class experience
This is a flexible schedule class. There are NO LIVE MEETINGS for this class; the classes are pre-recorded lessons. This means, your child can make these desserts when it's convenient for you! In this 4-week class, we'll make two popular Mexican recipes, and two American dessert recipes. We'll make chilaquiles, Mexican street corn (elotes), a chocolate tart and a pecan pie. Please note that the desserts are full-size, family desserts. They have some potential allergens in the ingredients,...
Students will be able to make 2 Mexican recipes and 2 American desserts from scratch.

1 file available upon enrollmentBASIC PIE CRUST INGREDIENTS (optional) 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks or 225 grams) unsalted butter, frozen and cut into small cubes 3 tablespoons ice water 2 tablespoons vodka *You only need this if you choose to make a homemade pie crust for the pecan pie. Alternatively, you could just buy a pie crust and skip all of these ingredients.* *************************** PECAN PIE INGREDIENTS You will need to make the BASIC PIE CRUST recipe, so please see the ingredients above for the basic pie crust. OR, you will need a store-bought pie crust. For the pecan pie filling, you'll need: 4 large eggs, room temperature 1 cup maple syrup, or corn syrup (or honey, or agave syrup) 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (optional. I'll leave it out because I think the maple syrup is sweet enough.) 2 teaspoons corn starch 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup (about 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted 2 1/2 cups (one 10-oz bag) pecan halves ********************** CHOCOLATE TART INGREDIENTS The chocolate tart has its own special crust. You do not need to make the basic pie crust from week 1 for this recipe. All the ingredients for the chocolate tart crust are included in the following list: -2 sticks of butter -0.5 cups powdered sugar -4 eggs -1.5 cups all-purpose flour -2 Tablespoons cocoa powder -0.25 teaspoons salt -0.3 cups water -1 teaspoon instant coffee granules -1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips -1 tablespoon vanilla ****************** CHILAQUILES INGREDIENTS (For the salsa verde) -1 lb of tomatillos (They look like green tomatoes with a weird paper skin around them.) -1 medium white onion -1 chicken bouillon cube -1 bunch of fresh cilantro -2 cloves of fresh garlic -1 or 2 serrano chili peppers, or 1 large jalapeno pepper (Use a jalapeno if your family does not like really spicy food, or leave the chilis out entirely.) (For the filling) -1 bag of totopos (These are thick, very crunchy CORN tortilla chips.) -1 lb of shredded, cooked chicken or beef (Leftover rotisserie chicken would be fantastic!) -Crumbled feta or cotija cheese, for topping the chilaquiles (optional) -Sliced fresh onion for topping the chilaquiles (optional) -sour cream or cream for topping the chilaquiles (optional) ***************** ELOTES INGREDIENTS -as many ears of corn as your family wants to eat -mayonnaise -fresh limes, at least 4 or 5 -a Mexican chili powder, like Tajin or Miguelito (If you can't find it, maybe a LIGHT sprinkling of cayenne pepper would work. It definitely doesn't taste that same, but you gotta do what you gotta do!) -cotija cheese (or crumbled feta, if you can't find cotija)

Hi, I'm Sarah! I've taught children online since 2014, and I'm excited to meet your kids! I lived and trekked around Mexico (and a bit in Guatemala) for 7 years. I'm looking forward to bringing my experience to the classroom when I teach about...
