Tapioca Cream Cheese Pudding

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:38:12 -0400

I whipped this recipe together the other day when I finally got tired of buying ready-made tapioca pudding! Maybe one day I'll actually try it from scratch (if only I can find a really good outlet for scratch)! Pudding servings are usually set at 1/2 cup, but mine are considerably larger than that! This pudding is thick enough that I have even used it as a nice filling for a 3-layer cake! -- posted by Sydney Mike

Kolobki (Russian Cottage Cheese Donuts)

Posting this for safe-keeping, will tweak it later. Kolobok (kuh-luh-bOck) is a dough ball from a Russian fairy tale. These fried gems are fun for kids, tasty calcium for adults. To be clear, I wouldn't feed this to my toddler because of the fried aspect, but I loved them when I was little! -- posted by Lighty

Honey-Roasted Applesauce

It's apple time again! I always love to make applesauce at this time of the year and I like to experiment different ways of making it. This year, I wanted to bake it. I usually strictly use only apples, but I've had the bottom of a blueberry honey jar lying in my pantry forever and the honey's now all crystallized.

Sensational Rice Custard Pudding

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:51:24 -0400

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

Strawberry Pudding

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:08:58 -0400

***Updated to fix all the kinks, tastes much better now*** I expanded on a simple blancmange recipe and adapted it to make it a special strawberry creation...since I now have a ton of strawberry Nesquik and want to be creative with it. And it turned out very yummy. :D It looks like it took a lot of effort but it didn't. This would probably make an awesome kid pleaser as well. NOTE: Cooking time does not include cooling/setting time. Vegans and the lactose-intolerant-- if you use soymilk, rice milk, almond milk, etc. this will not set. You may want to try a tofu-and-blender approach instead. -- posted by the80srule

Caramel Apple Pie Filling (Oamc)

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:03 -0400

This is a recipe that my husband came up with when we had a lot of apples after apple picking several years ago. It has become a family favorite and one that we look forward to making after what has become a fun annual family outing at a beautiful orchard. We like using a combination of at least two or three varieties of apples for flavor and texture. Our favorite combination is Macintosh, Jonagold, and Granny Smith. I double or triple this recipe to can or freeze to use later in pies, over ice cream, on my oatmeal, or straight up, but it is so good it doesn't last long. -- posted by UrbanDesiMommy

Inside-Out Apple Crisp

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:14:33 -0500

This is based on a recipe for baked apples in Mark Bittman's cookbook (How to Cook Everything) but adapted to include something akin to the topping for an apple crisp. Because it's mostly apple and only a little bit of the "crisp" (which isn't really crisp, by the way), it's a a lower-calorie version that's easy to throw together for a satisfying dessert. -- posted by dirtgirl

Vegan Key Lime Pie Filling

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:14:47 -0500

This is a tad of a spinoff of a recipe on the side of a Nasoya Silken Creations box. You can skip the vanilla and cut the confectioners sugar a little bit if you use Silken Creations Vanilla instead. I didn't include a recipe for a pie crust because I like it crustless! And for ultimate laziness, you can even mix it right in the pie pan! There are lots of good vegan pie crust recipes on here, or you can buy a premade one. Note that cook time does not include cooling time. -- posted by the80srule

Apple butter may be the highest use of the apple, especially some kinds of apples! This recipe works well with mealy, not-too-sweet "cooking apples," such as White Winter Pearmain, which we used.

Chocolate Lava Cake

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:08:07 -0500

Moelleux au Chocolat A French classic that literally melts in your mouth!!! This dessert is usually made in individual ramekins, but see the serving ideas below for other possibilities. Tips: You can definitely prepare your chocolate lave cake recipe ahead of time, and then bake 10 minutes before serving. I always do it this way! In terms of buttering the ramekins: butter the bottoms first, and then butter the sides, wiping from the bottom up to the top. It helps the chocolate to rise even more. In terms of baking time well, it depends on how runny you want it! I like it with a super-liquid-oozing center -- so do my guests! For this, you want the top to be cooked through, but the center to be liquid. You can check with a toothpick after 10 minutes of baking. If you don't like liquid-center chocolate desserts, just cook for a little longer, and you will have an incredibly moist chocolate cake. So, either way, you can't go wrong! Serving Ideas: You can, if you want, serve your chocolate lava cake recipe with a Crème Anglaise (English Cream) or a Coulis aux Framboises (Raspberry Sauce). Personally, I always serve it as is (no sauce). And honestly, everyone FALLS IN LOVE with this dessert!!! How could they not?!!! -- posted by Shesbittersweet

No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

Easy on the waistband-and on the guilt. Planning tip: Can be made (without the strawberry topping) up to 3 days ahead. Refrigerate covered. Prepare Topping just before serving. I found this recipe in Woman's Day magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut
