Creamy Strawberry Stuff

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:19:42 -0400

A few years ago I made a cold peach soup recipe. It was okay as soup, but was amazing as a topping for angel food cake. Since my husband isn't crazy about peaches, I thought I'd try other fruits. Here's what I came up with. With the strawberries, it tastes great on chocolate angel food cake with a dollop of whipped cream. -- posted by Katie's Mom

Apple and Cinnamon Sponge Pudding

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:29:42 -0400

From a mag I took a copy but forgot to note which mag. Times are in accordance with recipe directions. They recommend to use 1 x 800 grams of can pie apples (in place of granny smiths) and microwave on high for 2 minutes, then top with sponge mixture (fruit must be hot when topping with sponge, or sponge will not rise during cooking. Would also add cinnamon to canned apple if not already done so by the manufacturer. Serve with custard or ice-cream. IMPORTANT NOTE - prepare sponge mix while apple is cooking (apple mix needs to be hot). -- posted by I'mPat

Coffee Granita

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:04:26 -0400

Very refreshing light summer dessert! Original recipe comes from Alton Brown, however I found it a bit too sweet so adjusted the sugar down a tad. Suggest tasting the coffee before freezing and adjust the sweetness to fit your own personal taste. Also note that the scraping with a fork may scar your pan, so don't use your favorite cake pan. -- posted by Galley Wench

Wartime Lemon Pie

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:43:12 -0400

I found this recipe on an "Old Time" recipe site. It had zillions of old recipes, some as old as the 1800's. This sounded good and I made it. Very simple (it only has 5 ingredients) and still has the great taste of lemon ppie that everybody loves. I hate to see these old time recipes disappear!!!

Sour Cream Peach Pie

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:37:17 -0400

This recipe is from Farm Journal's Complete Pie Cookbook. I purchased the book in 1970 when I moved into my first apartment after college. In 1972 I made this for my husband and it quickly became his birthday dessert. I just made this pie for friends that came to visit from the State of Washington and they loved it too. Can be made with canned peaches BUT I only use fresh! I make the pie crust the day before and have it chilling in the refrigerator ready to be rolled out. -- posted by Kathy in Dearborn

Fresh Ginger Granita

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:24:26 -0400

This recipe is from The Culinary Institute of America's Cooking at Home with The Culinary Institute of America, Here's what they say," Also known as granité, this frozen dessert is based on a few simple ingredients and a minimal amount of equipment. Its distinctively flaky and granular texture is achieved through a unique, yet simple, freezing technique made easily at home.

Sheila's Apple Pie

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:53:37 -0400

I could make this pie in my sleep, I have done it so many times! It started out when my son was small and we used to go apple picking. I had to use up all those apples, so I made pies and gave them away. Suddenly, everyone else decided to go apple picking, too, and would bring me their apples to turn into pies! It's just a basic, traditional recipe but it is delicious and homey. Note: I will tell you that my preference is for Cortland apples, and it ends up being about 2-1/2 lbs. usually. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Prize-Winning Peach Pie

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:54:08 -0400

As a beginning cook, I especially liked to practice making pies. Peaches are probably my favorite fruit (but only when in season), so it was a pie I practiced often.

Peaches in Muscat from Nigella

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:58:12 -0400

One of the most simple summer desserts, peaches macerated in the sweet wine muscat and served in a glass if you like or a bowl. 2 ingredients with a 3rd optional, nigella lawson does it again. I suggest checking out the picture at http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/peaches-in-muscat for a serving suggestion. time does not include refridgeration time but it can be 1 - 6 hours if you wish to get your dessert out of the way early. Otherwise you can, as nigella suggests also put a plate of ripe peaches and bottle of muscat on the table -- posted by MarraMamba

Silly Easy Chocolate Creme De Menthe Pudding

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:05:38 -0400

I was making up a box of sugar free pudding and spotted the bottle of creme de menthe on the shelf. It wouldn't let me ignore it and I thought 'hmm, I wonder' and added a bit into the mix. It worked and turned normal chocolate pudding into something lush tasting. I could see it being the base of easy 'grown up' parfaits and that sort of thing too. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

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

Ny Times Carrot Cookies With Orange Icing

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:44:14 -0400

This recipe is from The New York Times Jewish Cookbook. When my family asked what was baking, their reaction to the idea of carrot cookies was decidedly unenthusiastic. However, after tasting the cookies, their opinion greatly improved and the cookies quickly disappeared! I veganized the recipe by omitting the egg and using Ener-G egg replacer, and no one guessed they were vegan. They are a cakey cookie with bits of carrot throughout, quite colorful and tasty. -- posted by mangomom

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

This is my all-time favorite recipe for apple pie. The crumb topping is so delicious and the apple filling flavor is just right. You will need a deep dish pie pan for this. The crumb topping will seem like a lot when you're putting it on but it turns out wonderful when baked. I bake my pie on a cookie sheet, lined with aluminum foil. You can use your favorite pie crust for this or try "Recipe#51537", one of my favorites for one-crust pies. -- posted by Lainey6605

Nickeys Strawberry-Applesauce Jell-O Ring

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:58:37 -0400

This is my favorite way to make jell-o for office parties and when entertaining. Because you have to wait between layers for the jell-o to set, I usually start it a day or two before I need it ... I do one layer before going to bed (or before leaving for work) then the second layer when I get up or whenever I have time like after work the next day. I usually have a little extra mix left over from layer two. I just put it in a small container and enjoy it for a snack. You will need a jell-o ring mold to make this as written but you can use anything you want to like little custard cups, etc. Water comes to a very fast boil so it takes almost no time at all except for the refrigeration time. The time posted does not include refrigeration time. Your number of servings will depend on how big you cut your slices. -- posted by marisk

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

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

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

Please feel free to use fruits that are seasonal at the time or what you like, after all the basis is the yogurt and mueslie and the fruit the decoration and for health when using fresh, use what is seasonal. -- posted by I'mPat

Simple and Healthy and very satisfying, that's what its all about right? There's hardly any condensed milk here, but just enough to enhance the melon and make it of dessert quality. -- posted by robd16

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
