Now, can you opt out of the pineapple?
I love it, but others do not..
As well, for the cheesecake, i find that whenever i try to make my own graham cracker crust, the damn thing falls apart.
TIPS?
other than buying a premade one - lol | |

Posted: 1/27/2006 9:28:47 AM | u can use any fruit from a can as long as you save the juice for the bananas
for graham crusts: add a little extra butter, make the crust thick and always chill before hand | |

Posted: 1/29/2006 2:48:40 AM | fresh creamy water packed mozzerella with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.
seedless red or purple grapes with brie.
cut up any ripe fruit:
nectarines, skinned peaches, berries, pears, grapes, pineapple, apples, any citrus
add a bit of sugar and chopped pecans or almonds. let the mix sit in the fridge till it develops
a syrup; this happens pretty quickly. spoon over real vanilla bean or french vanilla ice cream, cream fraiche, or an ultrarich blend of sour cream and cream cheeze.
the above are quick, yummy and require NO cooking
what could be easier and better than fruit besides something decadently chocolate?! | |

Posted: 1/30/2006 10:41:24 PM | I've got one I just discovered... but don't read the Jell-o thread before you make it LOL
1 pkg Jell-o (or other fruit flavoured gelatin dessert brand -can be sugar free variety with no harm to taste)
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
1 container cool-whip (can be light), THAWED (I forgot once, big oops)
1 can your choice of pie filling to complement flavour of jello
1 pre-made graham or shortbread crust
Make your Jell-o with the boiling water step only, let chill in a largish bowl in the fridge about 1/2 hour until it's almost set but still a bit runny.
While waiting for the jello to set, spread about 1/3 of the can of pie filling on the bottom of the graham crust (the rest will keep for up to a week in the fridge, or just eat it, or put it on top of hte dessert, it's all good).
When the jello is ready, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and the cool whip (that's why it needs a big bowl).
Pile the jello/cool whip/milk into the pie crust. It will make a mound that's a bit rounded over the top of the crust. Top with more pie filling if you want.
Let chill about 2 - 3 hours in the fridge. It tastes sinfully good, can be any flavour of jello and fruit (I like orange jello and raspberry filing), is easy, requires no cooking, just takes a bit of chill time. My mom tried this yesterday and LOVED it.
Enjoy! | |

Take one container of cottage cheese, one cup of whipping cream, 1/2 cup of sugar (or splenda works too), and 1 tsp of vanilla flavouring. Beat the whipping cream into the cream cheese until thickened, add the sugar slowly and the vanilla. Serve. This dessert is VERY rich but sooooooooooooo yummy. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 10:22:20 PM | | ^^^^I've never made an angel food cake with a mix, but if the directions call for, let's say, eggs and oil, you don't add those ingredients? | |

Posted: 3/28/2006 6:50:32 AM | We had creme brulee last night. I found an easier recipe that does not require cooking the custard and straining.
Simply add six yolks to six tablespoons of sugar, with a tablespoon of Madagascar vanilla. Cream this mixture then add one and a half cups of cream (I used half and half). After giving the mix a nice whisk, pour into your custard cups. Make a bain-marie (a warm water bath half way up the middle of the exterior of the cups to prevent a crust from forming on the outside of the custard before the interior is cooked) and place into a pre-heated 325 degree oven for about 35 minutes. The custard should be slightly jiggly when you remove from ven. be careful of the very hot bain-marie water bath as you remove.
Take the cups out of their bath and allow the cups to cool, and place into the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (if not over night). Evenly spread fine sugar across the surface of the custard and torch until golden and bubbly. You may also place these under a broiler until you achieve the same affect.
The result will be 4 to 6 creamy custards with a delightfully crunchy top crust. Garnish with a mint sprig and perhaps a strawberry half or a few blueberries.
I often sub half of the cream with coconut milk for a different take on this classic. | |

Posted: 3/28/2006 9:46:04 AM | Soften two litres good quality chocolate ice cream (or you can use mint or banana ice cream for this, whatever goes good with chocolate)
Fold in a container of Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
Put the ice cream/whip cream mixture into a prepared chocolate crumb pie shell (or make one yourself using the chocolate wafers and melted butter). Make a nice smooth surface using a spatula.
Lightly cover with plastic wrap
Put in freezer for at least two hours before serving. Decorate with whipped cream, a bit of chocolate syrup (Hershey's is best) and chocolate shavings or curls.
Great summer time dessert and even little kids will eat it. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 5:28:28 PM | Hi this is my own personal choc.chip cookie recipe. My son makes
it for his kids now. Very easy and my grandkids love to help.
Annettes Choc. Chip Cookies
3 c. selfrising flour
1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 c. shorten
I mix my flour and brown sugar together. Than I mix my eggs and vanilla
and shorten together. Than mix these 2 together, I use my hands. Than
I use semi sweet choc chips because it dont make the cookie to sweet.
Use as much as you want, a small bag is good. You can add walnuts if
you want to. I prefer not to, most people just like the chips. Ok now I
pinch off some and make 1 inch balls, just by rolling in your hand. Place
on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Now if you want a thick cookie
dont mash it down much, but if you want a thinner cookie pat down a
little more. Bake for 10 min. on 375. Let cool on cookie rack.
My kids use to snick and eat my dough balls, they loved them. The
more you make them the better you will get at it. People dont believe me
when I tell them I made them, cause I can make my all the same size. And
they are very tastey.
This is my own recipe and the only time I ever sold them was for someone
who was sick. So maybe you can carry on my tradition. Hope you enjoy,
Annette
Oh I just about forgot, you can use any kind of chips. I just perfer the semi
sweet and the mint chips. | |

Posted: 10/29/2006 6:47:28 AM | | take a good-sized wedge of brie cheese, slice through it like you're making a sandwich. put a layer of raspberries on the bottom half, sprinkle with just a touch of sugar, and place the top half back on. Allow the brie to come up to room temperature (around an hour) before serving with toasted slices of baguette, crackers, etc | |
