Triple Chocolate Mousse Pie

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:39:09 -0500

For chocolate lover's only! Got this recipe last week after having this at a friends Christmas Party... First of all, it's HEAVENLY. Everyone kept talking about this pie & with word of mouth, it was gone before most could try it... I got to try it & it is delicious! I didn't even think I was that into chocolate, but this is very creamy & looked so pretty on the Holiday dessert table as it was garnished with puffs of whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate, topped with red cherries & green sprinkles... totally decadent! FYI: you can make pie crumb crust ahead of time & freeze or in a pinch use a store bought chocolate crumb Oreo pie shell... -- posted by BlondieItaliana

Cranberry Steamed Pudding

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:24:22 -0500

Found this on the Mother Earth News site when I clicked a link.... This antique recipe is really more of a cake without any fat. The fat is in the sauce, which is why it's drizzled on the cake sparingly. This recipe is so simple, to make that the most difficult part is finding a metal Jell-O mold.(a round one 8" in diameter with a hole in the center). Serve with brandy sauce recipe #. -- posted by Charlotte J

Gordon Ramsay's Chocolate Fondant

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:42:18 -0500

A gooey, decadent dessert-a hot pudding with a molten middle--irresistible! This is perfect for entertaining, as it can be made way ahead of time. They will sit happily in the fridge overnight, or in the freezer for up to a month (baking from frozen, add 5 minutes extra onto cooking time). I strongly advise you to make some extras as an 'insurance policy to allow for any errors. I can assure you that they won't go to waste if all goes to plan. Once you have mastered this recipe, feel free to experiment with flavourings--add Baileys, Cointreau or finely grated orange zest to the chocolatethe possibilities are endless! Try serving it with recipe #353546. Gordon claims that this is the best selling dessert in his restaurants! -- posted by Noo

If you're looking for a sweet surprise for your Valentine, or just because, this will fit the bill! This can be made the day of, but encourage you to not make it any earlier. This is a fantastic dessert! It only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish! Go for it! Try a small chocolate bowl that you can get at specialty stores and most bakeries. They also have small chocolate cups, which works great as well.If you can't find the bowls or cups, try putting it in a pretty wine glass or a martini glass. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

This is an old family recipe & tradition. I hate alcohol & cherries, but come Christmas-time, I just can't not have this pudding. I've been gobbling it up every year since I was a child.

Caramel Pudding Sauce (Without the Mouse) - Anne of Green Gables

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:10:36 -0400

Taken from "The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook", written by Lucy Maud Montgomery's granddaughter Kate Macdonald. I am posting this as it appears in the original book, which was written as a tribute to her father Stuart Macdonald (Montgomery's son). The recipes were written with precise instructions, geared for young cooks. All recipes were apparently tested by a 12 year old cook, with perfect results. Quote from the book: "Diana, fancy if you can my extreme horror at finding a mouse drowned in that pudding sauce!" (from Anne of Green Gables XVI) "If you have any pudding sauce left over, don't forget - like Anne did - to cover it tightly.

Spicy Pumpkin Flan (Healthy Alternative to Pie)

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:07:41 -0400

I've made this recipe very spicy and flavourful to my tastes. Tinker around with adjustments to the spices to your liking, though I recommend leaving equal if not more ginger than cinnamon and then lessening cloves and allspice to your taste (reduce allspice before you reduce cloves for a better balance). Also, you can lighly spray cooking oil into the cake pan before you add the caramel (perhaps more on the sides than the bottom, because caramel will make it slippery on bottom). This will help you as you are trying to separate flan from pan with a spatula when cooked. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Quick Christmas Pudding - a 'lite' Version of This Favourite

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:24:14 -0400

We always seem to be in the Christmas festive season again without even thinking. Where does the time go. Here is a great recipe that I have made every year for the more than the last 10 years and has been enjoyed by both my family and friends alike. After having the full Christmas meal sometimes a very rich and heavy Christmas pudding can be too much so some so this is the perfect alternative. This is a Lite (as is lighter in density and not in the dietary sense) version of a traditional Christmas pudding that does not need to be made way in advance of the day to get the best flavour but can and should be made on the day before or on the day it is required. There are a couple of traditions that I always follow when making this recipe. The first is I always use my Grandmother's Denby stoneware mixing bowl as I am convinced that this gives the pudding a better flavour; The second is always get everyone who is at home when I am making the pudding to give the mix a gentle stir just before putting into the pudding basins so that they can individually make a wish. This recipe will make 8 individual or 1 large Christmas pudding. -- posted by Chef #274732 (Duncan)

This is a "must have" on our Christmas dessert table, but it is equally as good any time of year, or for any occasion. Although I use berries, it is wonderful with all different fresh fruits, such as kiwi or peaches. It is also very versatile and can be layered with fruit in a parfait dish if you prefer, nestled in a puff pastry or dessert shell, or set in a mold. We always serve it in one large stemmed glass bowl. Preparation time does not include chilling time. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

From TOH magazine. Although the recipe calls for the parfaits to be served in parfait or cocktail glasses, I think they'd be nice scaled down to fit in a smaller glass, such as shot glasses. The ribbon of bright red strawberries in the middle of the creamy pink mousse looks so pretty! The prep time doesn't include time for the berry mixture to chill. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

'stir and Make a Wish' Christmas Pudding

Thu, 21 May 2009 10:21:52 -0400

A fruity christmas pudding that is not too rich or heavy. I have been making this recipe year after year. Traditionally the pudding should be made on 'Stir up sunday' which is the suday before Advent ( sometime at the end of November). Everyone in the house should stir the pudding and make a wish. This recipe is enough to make 2 puddings of 2 pints, of course you can half the recipe but I love giving one away as a gift. Start 3-4 days before because the fruits need soaking to soften. -- posted by Wild Thyme Flour

Lemon Verbena Syllabub for Lazy Summer Days or Dinner Parties!

Just the job when it is hot and humid, a simple and elegant dessert to finish off a special summer dinner party outside and under the stars! This is also a wonderful accompaniment for fresh summer berries or gently poached fruits. Try to make sure that you give these little syllabubs plenty of time to chill and set before serving. Serve with a squirt of Chantilly cream and some fresh Lemon Verbena leaves as a garnish. Lemon Verbena is a very lemony herb, think of fizzy lemon sherbet (as in Barratts Sherbet Dipper) and you will have an idea of the taste! -- posted by French Tart

Bergamot Fresh Fruit Salad With Scented Pelargonium Leaves

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:58:43 -0400

This fruit salad is amazing, and all the more for the addition of bergamot leaves and flowers! The fragrant leaves of this versatile herb delicately flavour the syrup whilst the gorgeous shaggy red flowers and scented pelargonium leaves decorate it for the final finishing flourish! If you are a lover of Earl Gray tea, you will instantly recognise the flavour of this herb, as it is used to flavour this famous and popular tea blend. NOTE: Bergamot, often referred to as bee balm, became distinguished as "Oswego Tea" when a Quaker botanist, John Bartram, sampled a tea made from the leaves. A Bergamot lemon is a small yellow sour citrus fruit similar to an orange, mostly cultivated in Calabria in Italy. The rind contains an essential oil used in perfumery (the basis for eau-de-cologne), confectionary and Earl Grey tea. The zest is also used in pâtisserie. NB: Prep time includes cooling time. -- posted by French Tart

Fresh Peaches in Sauternes Soak With Angelica and Lavender

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:32:34 -0400

This is a wonderful, light summery dessert, which never fails to please my guests, as well as my family and friends! Fresh peaches are soaked in sweet Sauternes with angelica leaves and lavender flowers tucked amongst them. Angelica is an interesting, aromatic tasting herb, and although I normally only use the stems to candy or crystallise (Recipe #248003) I have discovered that the leaves also make a great accompaniment when used with fresh fruit. Try to serve this fresh fruit salad in a large clear glass bowl for maximum impact; it just looks so pretty with the light shining through the fruit, juices and herbs! I find that the only thing that is needed to serve this is a good dollop of crème fraiche. I have also made this with apricots and melon for a slight change. I like to use a combination of white and yellow peaches for this recipe but please use local and fresh peaches regional to your area. Prep time includes the minimum "soaking" time. I have not tried this with tinned peaches, but suspect that they may be too "soft" to hold their shape for prolonged soaking. -- posted by French Tart

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:08 -0400

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand. Serve with fresh pouring cream for a real treat! -- posted by French Tart

Creamy Pumpkin Rice Pudding

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:45:24 -0400

Even though the phrase "leftover pumpkin" doesn't exist in my household, most people often wonder what to do with the leftover pumpkin after making a pumpkin pie. I like to make this tasty, simple, and quick dessert when I have a huge can of pumpkin I haven't completely gone through. Whole milk and cinnamon rice milk really work best for this recipe, but some tasty variations that really add to this pudding's richness are vanilla rice or soy milk, and Silk Pumpkin Pie flavored soy milk (which is only seasonal, I wish it was available year-round! And is it just me or does Silk Pumpkin Pie Soymilk taste just like Silk Nog that's available around Christmas, only they package it differently? So if you're making it around Christmas, use Silk Nog!) This awesome dessert is great for parties and potlucks, it travels and freezes well, and was a big hit at my sister's Halloween party! Both the kids and adults loved it. (Note: Prep time does not include cooling time.) -- posted by the80srule

This is a very old recipe that was my husband's grandmother's own creation. She was well known for her cooking and baking. I have been making this for over 40 years and always get raving reviews. Once, a cousin gifted me with a very large glass bowl that had 8 smaller serving dishes. She included a note that this was to become 'the family dinners rice custard pudding bowl' as everyone requested that I make it for all our gatherings! For a creamier custard pudding, use Aborio rice or a medium grain rice; I prefer the short Aborio rice. Never use instant rice. You may wish to use less sugar as this is a very sweet custard pudding, due to the condensed milk. I hope this becomes a favorite of your family too! -- posted by Debaylady

Spooktacular Halloween Pudding Cups

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:17:46 -0400

Super fun Halloween treats that the kids are sure to enjoy. Easy to make and look great to!! I got the idea off of another website that used chocolate pudding but I thought using vanilla and dying it orange would be really cool since the pudding and oreos together would be traditional Halloween colors. This recipe can be easily divided in half and so on. For the pudding I used the kind that you cook verses the instant. I think the cooked pudding has a much nicer and thicker consistancy. The amount below for the oreos is a guesstimate because it wouldn't let me put down 1 large package of oreos but either way just one regular package of oreos crushed is what you need. Enjoy! -- posted by mamawheezy

Christmas Plum Pudding

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:02:04 -0500

I grew up eating plum pudding at Christmas. We used to scour three states to buy the canned stuff before it got sold out. Then I was given this recipe by a friend, and commercial plum pudding has not crossed my lips again. It is well worth the time it takes to gather the ingredients and make the pudding. -- posted by cookcathy

Pumpkin Pudding With Candied Ginger Whipped Cream

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:31:48 -0500

I love to add some port or dark spiced rum (Zacapa or Zaya), to the pudding and/or the topping! Serve with a tawny port such as my favourite Taylor Fladgate 20-year or a higher-end sipping rum such as Zacapa or Zaya. The pudding can be made up to a few days in advance, but wait to mix the topping until you're ready to serve. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Chocolate Cheesecake - Caramel Macchiato Trifle

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:38:07 -0500

I Invented this for Thanksgiving dinner, and it got rave reviews! If you have more time to prepare, I would suggest substituting real whipped heavy cream for the Cool Whip. You can also use Kahlua instead of Starbucks liqueur if you prefer. Time does not include the preparation time for the brownies or mousse. I usually make them a day ahead to make things easy on the day I am serving the trifle. -- posted by Cooks4_6

Quick and Easy French Cognac and Crème Fraiche Ice Cream

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:09:28 -0500

This is a really easy ice cream to whip up and one that I make every Christmas to go with the Christmas pudding and with my annual Rumtopf or Brandied Cherries and Apricots. You can make it in an ice cream maker if you have one, but as it is a non-custard base ice cream, it works just as well without an ice cream maker. It lasts for one month in the freezer and is a great addition to the summer dining table too! -- posted by French Tart

Dulce De Leche Bread Pudding

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 03:01:08 -0500

This gooey bread pudding made with caramel-like dulce de leche from Latin America is so much more than the sum of its five parts. To add even more flavor, throw in a handful of fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries before baking. Serve the crème anglaise as a sauce for fresh berries or poached fruit; spoon it over pound cake or chocolate cake; or use it as a base for making ice cream. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Carl Andersen's Ris Alamande, Danish Christmas Dessert

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:42:55 -0500

Having lived in Copenhagen since 1994 I can testify that 90% of Danes will have a variation of this dish for dessert on Christmas Eve, which is the big day here. Carl Andersen was the founder and longtime owner of Chatam Restaurant in Hollywood, a favorite of the stars of the past. The recipe is from his daughter's "Star Food" cookbook. PLEASE REMEMBER: You can not use "converted" rice to prepare this dish. You also can not hurry up the cooking times-it says two hours in the oven, and that is what you must do. I have modified the dish by leaving out 1 cup blanched, slivered, almonds, which I have never seen used in the dish here. One whole blanched almond may be added just before serving-the person who finds this in their serving traditionally receives a "mandelgave", some small gift, from the host/hostess. NOTE: If there is any excess milk floating around after the cooked rice has cooled, pour it off and proceed with the recipe. -- posted by Dan-Amer #1

Molten Chocolate Puddings...mini Butterfinger Souffles

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:40:28 -0500

Lovely butterfinger topped mini-suffles. Recipe calls for less, but I like to really lay on the butterfinger dusting. I ground it very finely and coat it both before baking and afterward...then again I love butterfinger! I also like subbing in 50-50 butterfinger chocolate with the chocolate chips! Of course you can do all of this with any candy you love! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Quick & Easy Bread Pudding

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:28:45 -0500

Shortcut with eggnog and pumpkin pie spice! I also like using leftover cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread, or pannatone. Make it healthy with no sugar added bread, sugar-free hershey bars, splenda, soy or low-fat eggnog and fat free half-n-half. I also like using white chocolate chips or a white/brown combo. For a more unique flavor, use cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon (i use 1 TBS each because i like the spice) and add some rum extract. Add some nuts on top if you'd like. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

A Mere Trifle! Strawberries and Clotted Cream Trifle

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

Luscious fresh strawberries nestle amongst light sponge cake sandwiched with strawberry jam, which are then covered with creamy custard and topped with clotted cream. Simple! This trifle may be simple but it is the star on any tea-time or dessert table and if you cannot obtain clotted cream, use whipping cream, heavy cream or double cream instead. Madeira is used in place of sherry in this trifle, which gives a mellow flavour to the trifle. This is a recipe that my mum sent to me, from a cutting in a British magazine promoting Devon and Cornwall in the West Country - home of the Cream Tea! If you wish to serve this to children or non-drinkers, substitute the Madeira with fruit juice of your choice. In the summer scatter some pink rose petals over the top for the ultimate and romantic finish! (Prep time includes the chilling and soaking time.) -- posted by French Tart
