In the spirit of driving Peabody *nuts* I'm a week late for last week's assignment but on time for today's. How'd I manage that? I spent the hottest Sunday of the summer season in the kitchen with the oven on. What can I say Peabody...? I live to serve!
First last week's Peppermint Cream Puff Ring selected for our enjoyment by Caroline of A Consuming Passion. Like many other Doristas, I elected to make individual cream puffs rather than a ring because they're easier to transport and serve that way. And rather than mint, I infused my whipped cream filling with a vanilla bean and a bit of chai-spiced tea. We went out to dinner with friends on Sunday, and it was easy to pass up the dessert menu when we knew these waited for us at home.
Next on the baking to-do list: a delightful biscuit topped Mixed Berry Cobbler offered by Beth of Our Sweet Life. Frozen fruit, tossed with sugar, lemon and cornstarch, topped with a flakey slightly sweetened biscuit crust. I added a half bag of frozen mangoes to my berry medley because it was time to use them in something. Baked them up in individual ramekins, and I've discovered they make an indulgent but not unhealthy breakfast topped with a generous dollop of yogurt.
These two selections prove my longstanding theory that some of the very best things in life and in food are comprised of a handful of simple ingredients thoughtfully combined.
Oh... and Peabody? Hang tight love... I'm eyeballing the Apple Cheddar Scone recipe now... who knows... I might *really* surprise you and come in *early*!

Oh Yumm!!! Two for the price of one! MY kind of deal! It looks like they both turned out wonderfully for you! I love the idea of using mango in the cobbler! Lovely!
LOL- even if you finish early...you can't post till Tuesday...so I wont believe you anyway. ;P
Both your tardy and on time TWD treats look great.
Great looking cobbler, I adore mango, I wish I could get flavourful mangos here.

Haha that's good!
Everything looks good - and I don't think I'd have thought of the cobbler for breakfast but I think you are right, it would make a good one.
Your desserts (and breakfast) sound delicious. I love your add in ideas.
the vanilla/chai cream and the added mangoes in the cobbler sound like great changes! nice work! :)
your cobbler looks juicy and delicious. Mango was a great choice! Nice looking cream puffs, too!
Both your cream puffs and cobbler look perfect! Well done for catching up!
Look at that pate a choux!!! It's gorgeous!
The cobbler looks great as well!
Having them for breakfast is a terrific idea! I will remember that, especially since they are quick to make. Everything looks delicious.
2fer! I feel your pain - all that cooking?! wow. looks so good...i bet it was.
Thanks for your comment on my blog!! Your cobbler looks fantastic!!
Such a perfect breakfast food. Glad you managed to get the puffs in too!
oh you did a great job! Yummy!Cobbler for breakfast is brilliant.
Very yummy looking, I used some mango as well. It makes a nice complement to the berries. Good for you to do two challenges in one day!
Wow that cobbler is beautiful! It looks so tasty with the juice running over. Great job!
yummmmm send some of those goodies my way....please!!! looks fabulous. better late than never on the puff.
WoW! and on the hottest day of the summer to boot! You sure know how to support your friends =D. I absolutely love the chai addition to the cream puffs. Right now, vanilla chai tea is my all time favorite. You also got my second week spot, yogurt for a topping at breakfast time. Okay, lunch too. I just never thought about putting a dollop on top of a cobbler before. I can't wait to try it. Both of your Dorie Desserts look delicious =D
Nice job toughing it out with two baked items on a hot day!!! The results look delish!
Ooh, I really like the idea of making chai-flavored whipped cream. I'm going to have to try that.
Wow - I can't believe you had your oven turned on on such a hot day - what dedication. They look amazing.
nice close up, especially of the berry juice dripping
Looks great! Well done!
Those cream puffs look divine!
Two for 1, I love a great deal!! They both look wonderful!

Wow. You are quite an overachiever! Great job with the double baking session. The chai-spiced cream sounds very interesting, as did the mango-berry combination.
Mangos are one of my favorite fruits. I'll have to try it in a cobbler next time. I like your thinking that the simple recipes are sometimes the best.

Thanks for the comment on my blog! I had to laugh about the "Dorie Dozen". Ain't that the truth?? :)
Everything looks delicious!
