7 Halloween recipes that don’t need an oven

Sweet recipes without an oven
1 Cheese web cake
Ingredients
+415g. Chocolate cookies
+130g. Butter
+140g. Dark chocolate to melt
+490 ml. liquid cream
+890g. Cream cheese
+190g. White sugar
+50 g. vanilla sugar
Step by Step
- For the base: on the one hand, we melt the butter until it is completely liquid and, on the other, we crush the chocolate cookies until we obtain crumbs. When we have it ready, we mix the butter and the biscuits until we obtain a homogeneous paste. In our cake mold, we will put a bit of parchment paper to prevent it from sticking and we will cover the base with the mixture. Let cool in the fridge.
- For the chocolate filling: in a casserole we put 140 ml of liquid cream over low heat to add the chocolate little by little. We need everything to be integrated. When it is ready, we reserve a part for the final result (approximately 65 ml.). The rest, we put it on top and on the sides of our cookie base, to put it back in the fridge again.
- For the cream cheese filling: we start by beating our cream cheese and, while we do it, we add the sugar until it is completely integrated and with a rich and fluffy texture. On the other hand, we mounted the rest of the cream that we had left and added it to the cheese with enveloping movements so as not to lose the texture. When we have it, we add it to the base with panache, smooth the surface and put it back in the cold but, this time, in the freezer. It is advisable to leave it overnight so that it has the ideal shape.
- For the decoration: do you remember the chocolate that we set aside when we made the filling? Well then, it’s time to reheat it in the microwave and with the help of a sleeve, a knife, a bottle or a straw, we are decorating the cake like a spider web. Although we have chosen that decoration, with the chocolate you can choose the Halloween drawing that you want. Maybe you prefer a pumpkin face or a ghost, so use your imagination and enjoy!
2 No-Bake Cookie Chandeliers
Ingredients
+Oreo cookies (or any other you like)
+salty sticks
+lacasitos
+white chocolate
Step by Step
We put the cookies on a plate and cut the sticks to put them in the shape of legs on the sides of the cookies. We melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and bathe the cookies with the sticks so that they are covered in chocolate. Finally, we add two little eye-shaped lacasitos. An easy, quick and delicious recipe!
3 Puffed rice monsters
Ingredients
+30 g. of margarine
+64g. Dark chocolate
+1 tablespoon caramel syrup
+64g. Puffed rice _
+fondant
Step by Step
In a bowl we will mix the margarine, the special chocolate to melt and the caramel syrup, we will do it in a bain-marie to melt it little by little. After this, we will add the inflated rice and mix everything well. Then, we pour the mixture into a square mold, flatten it and let it cool.
When it has cooled down enough, we can cut our puffed rice into squares to proceed with the decoration. For this we will use the fondant as we want. We can make black spiders, green Frankenstein’s, bloody eyes, and whatever you can think of!
4 Monstrous mummies
Ingredients
+White chocolate to melt
+Square wafer cookies (as many as you want, depending on the number you want to make)
+Chocolate chips or dark chocolate to decorate
Step by Step
Prepare the cookies and melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie. When it is ready, we spread the cookies in the chocolate, drain the excess well and let it cool on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. When we have finished we put them in the fridge for 40 minutes.
With the leftover melted chocolate we will decorate our mummies. To do this we must make sure that it is well melted and we will put it in a pastry bag (or a freezer bag with a small hole). On the dipped cookies we will make small chocolate threads, which simulate the bandages of our mummies. Finally, with the help of dark chocolate or chocolate chips we put some eyes and some small scars on them and put them in the fridge to cool again. Ready!
Delicious salty recipes without oven for Halloween
5 Witch brooms
Ingredients
+Bread sticks
+Slices of cheese
+Chive
Step by Step
We take a slice of cheese and cut it in half that will be the bristles of our broom. When we have the slice split in half, we are making cuts simulating fringes, that is, without cutting the slice completely.
Then we take a breadstick and cut it in half. At the end of one of its sides, we roll up the cut cheese and tie it with chives, simulating a broom. You can repeat this appetizer without oven also with York ham, turkey breast or ham. Yummy!
6 Severed fingers
Ingredients
+Sausages (of the ones you like the most: stuffed, turkey, chicken…)
+Cheese
+ketchup and mustard
Step by Step
Get all the sausages and make three different cuts: first, horizontal cuts that will simulate the bends of the fingers. Secondly, an uneven cut in the lower part, which will simulate that we have torn off the finger and, finally, you must remove a small piece in the upper part, which is where we will put the nail. We put them in the microwave for a few minutes to make them and add that nail, which we will put with a piece of cheese. Finally, we add ketchup on the part of the nail and on the cuts that we have made and mustard (if we like it) under the fingers, to decorate. Hmm…
7 Egg spiders
Ingredients
+boiled eggs
+Tuna
+tomato or mayonnaise
+black olives
Step by Step
First of all, we cook the eggs well and, when they have cooled, we split them in half in an elongated way. Remove the yolk and -in a separate bowl- chop it up. Later we add the tuna and tomato or mayonnaise. Season and mix well. On the other hand, we split the black olives, some in half and others into long pieces (which will simulate the legs of spiders).
When we have everything, we just have to fill the hole for the boiled eggs with our mixture and decorate by putting our little spiders on top, half of the olives as the body and the longer pieces as the legs. Afterwards, enjoy!
