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, so please check the PARENTAL GUIDANCE section below if your child has any food allergies. These recipes are not vegan. 

I'll post the recipe and video for each week on Sunday, so students will be able to choose any day of the week that suits them to watch the recipe video and make the dessert the day of the week when it suits them. I'll also post a printable, custom-designed recipe for students to enjoy.

To make this pre-recorded class more interactive, several different features are built into this package of classes, including:

-Kahoot review games for each recipe, each week
-opportunities for students to post questions and comments in the interactive classroom
-required photos/videos of students cooking or having completed their recipe
- printable recipes for most, if not all, of the recipes

These recipes are challenging, but your child doesn't need to have any special baking skills to make them. I go into great detail in each of the 4 videos, explaining each step of the cooking process and walking students through it. 

Here is a breakdown of the recipes, videos and activities that will be posted for your children each week:

Week 1: Chilaquiles
 Following this video, students will learn how to make a popular Mexican breakfast food, chilaquiles. The basic idea is that they are like homemade nachos with a homemade green salsa. Please note that the salsa can be either red or green. I will be making green salsa in in the class video, but you are welcome to substitute red tomatoes and make it a red salsa if you'd like.

Week 2:Decadent Chocolate Tart
Following this video, students will bake a chocolate tart from scratch. The crust will be taught especially in this video. 

Week 3: Mexican Street Corn
In this video lesson, students will learn how to make a popular version of corn sold on the streets in Mexico. This is a pretty easy recipe, so it'll be a welcome break compared to the two desserts in this unit. 

Week 4: Pecan Pie
Following this video, students will make a pecan pie 100% from scratch. They can use the blind baked pie crust recipe from an extra video that I will provide, if they wish. They can also use a pre baked store bought pie crust which would be a lot easier. Please note that if they choose to make their pie crust at home, this is a very long process and it could take an entire afternoon to make this recipe. The actual pecan pie is quite easy to make, but the crust takes a long time.
This pie does not have a decorative top.


Please remember that students are strongly encouraged to post photos of their completed recipes in the virtual classroom each week. Students are also encourage to interact and comment (kindly) on one another's baking creations!

Parents please note: we will use some potentially dangerous kitchen tools in these recipes. There are also some potential allergens in these recipes. Please remember to check the PARENTAL GUIDANCE section below for details. 

Students will need to purchase ingredients for each of the recipes. I will list the ingredients in the SUPPLIES LIST below.
