Maple and Pecans Creamy Tartlets

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:27:31 -0400

This is from the issue of April 2006 of Coup de Pouce. The taste of the butter crust goes well with the taste of maple but if you want to save time, you can also buy store-bought dough (fresh or frozen, about 1 lb in total) or even better : frozen tartlets crust. If you have leftovers of garnish and dough, you can do more tartlets and fill the empty muffin tins with a little bit of water. -- posted by Boomette

You can reduce the sugar used on the crust and the filling to fit your taste, this recipe is lightly sweetened. If you want to you, can add more sugar to the filling.

Gluten Free, No Bake Corn Flakes Lemon Yoghurt Pie

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:33:01 -0400

This is the most simple pie I ever made... It got rave reviews, though. So if you want something refreshing, inexpensive, gluten free and fast, make this! I prefer unsweetened corn flakes, coconut oil and 85 % chocolate, but if you want it a bit sweeter, you can also use sweetened corn flakes and semi sweet chocolate. Depending on the fat and chocolate you use, the pie crust will be more or less hard; I found it best to layer the bottom of the spring form with non stick baking paper, so you can easily slip the pie onto an even plate. Use a sharp pointed knife to cut it. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by Mia in Germany

Grape, Ricotta & Honey Tarts

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 02:22:58 -0400

Quick to prepare, elegant and delicious tarts, best made when grapes are at their peak! And these can be whipped up at fairly short notice as long as you have the ingredients on hand. This tart can be eaten warm or at room temperature. I have adapted this recipe from one I found in a March 2005 issue of Woolworth's 'Fresh' magazine. Serve with icecream, cream or Greek yoghurt. Since American recipes generally have more sugar than Australian recipes, American chefs may want to increase the sugar in this recipe. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Pretty Little Cranberry Pear Pies

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:01:20 -0400

This recipe is from "The Little Book of Christmas Cooking". It is full of these great little recipes designed for kids to do with adults, with easy step by step instructions. - The book has a tip that you don't need to peel canned pears, so that might be easier for kids. I think that fresh pears always work better. You will also need a 2 inch round cookie cutter and a small star shaped cookie cutter (smaller than the round). -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Pumpkin Tarts

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:20:07 -0400

you can use canned pumpkin if you like the traditional thick texture and sweetness of store-bought pumpkin pie. I like using fresh cooked pumpkin as it's not overly sweet and much lighter and fluffier that way, almost like a mousse. you can freeze cooked pumpkin for many months so you can still make this outside of autumn, just be sure to drain it well when you thaw it. can also be made into a single-crust pie, just increase the cooking time to about an hour. new way to play with this: make just the filling in custard cups or muffin tins and serve with ice cream and butterscotch! -- posted by spiritussancto

Rustic Apple Tart

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:46:35 -0500

This recipe hails from British Columbia, Canada. It is from the website if the B.C. Tree Fruits Limited company. "Who doesn't love baked apples and cinnamon? They are an irresistible combination especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This rustic apple tart is simpler to make than a pie. You don't have to be neat and fussy with the crust, just simply fold it up over the apples however you please leaving the centre open. The chopped pecans toast while the tart is baking which gives them a buttery taste and help to make the tart look very rustic." http://www.bctree.com/recipes/archive/apple-rustic-tart.php -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Margaret Atwood's Baked Lemon Custard Cake

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:17:18 -0500

This is a really neat recipe because, as the batter bakes, it separates into two distinctive layers cake on top and custard on the bottom. It looks very impressive, guests will have no idea how simple it is to prepare! This custard/cake has a very bold lemony flavour. (It also works well with Splenda so can be modified for diabetics.) If you don't have individual ramekins, this can be made in a deep pie pan or an 8x8 baking pan. Margaret Atwood is an iconic Canadian author and the recipe was published in Bon Appétit (Jan. 2006). -- posted by blucoat

This romantic tart comes together in no time at all with the use of a premade tart shell.

Cranberry Apple Tart

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:17:28 -0500

It's easy to love apple pie. Turning out the perfect crust? Not so easy. Which is why this apple and dried cranberry tart does away with the hard part without sacrificing the joy of baking. This recipe uses purchased pizza dough to create a thin crust that is topped with tart apple slices.For a nice finish, dust the tart with powdered sugar, or a blend of powdered sugar and cinnamon. If you'd prefer a more traditional crust, a prepared pie crust also could be used. But pizza crust lends a nice chew that works well with the tender apple slices. Be sure to let the dough come to room temperature before rolling it. The dried cranberries can be soaked in water or juice for 15 minutes before using. This isn't necessary, but it makes them plump and juicy. Be sure to drain them well before placing them on the tarts. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

In this recipe, a fudgy layer and whipped cream topping changes a chewy chocolate chip cookie into a rich and attractive dessert. Cooking time does not include about an hour of cooling time. I'm sure that this would also be good with a few drops of liqueur added to the whipped cream topping - kahlua, frangelico, creme de cacao, etc. - I plan to try one next time. -- posted by pattikay in L.A.

This is an unusual and tasty Yorkshire dessert hand-copied from a book called "Mastering Herbalism." I have fresh spearmint in my garden, but currants can't be found locally. I substituted a nice, chunky blackcurrant jam, and reduced the cup of sugar by half. -- posted by Cecily Parsley

Apple Crisp

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:07:34 -0400

This recipe came from my Aunt Betty (yes, I had an aunt named Betty; yes, she made Apple Crisp; yes, I was reluctant to title the recipe 'Apple Brown Betty' or Aunt Betty's Apple Crisp for fear people wouldn't believe me). This recipe is similar to recipe #140088 but with enough differences to make it unique. -- posted by Obag

Manchester Tart

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:03:43 -0500

This is old fashioned British school dinner food at its best. If this doesn't take you back to childhood then I don't know what will. No running in the corridors! -- posted by robd16

Sweet Red Pepper Tart (Dessert)

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:09:26 -0500

Sweet dessert tart with something like Capsicum Jam. A sophisticated taste, unlikely to please children I think.... Adapted from a recipe by Andrew Schloss, you will either love it, or hate it. -- posted by Dipps
