Pie Pops
Alber Elbaz speaks about “lightness” during interviews before his collections. I think his summation of what women need seems pretty accurate. Yes, we need lightness/ease/mobility. I love the way Elbaz makes clothes. His Lanvin spring 2008 collection made me cry. I like lightness. The different flavors. Cinnamon, Sugar, cornstarch, these three were the main ingredients used to hype the filling. I made blackberry filling with just sugar and cornstarch. I label all my homemade jams and fillings. With the same lolipop stick, I’ve sealed the pie, making indents all around the pop. Very crucial to slather egg whites on pie exterior. Blackberry Apple. Pumpkin Pies to go. In case you’re into saving desserts, this is fridge friendly too. <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker.

Recipe: Banoffee "Danger" Pie
Do not adjust your sets - you haven't tuned into the wrong blog. Its still culinarily challenged me but this pie was so amazingly delish I had to share it. We had a chance encounter with its gooey yumminess in Africa. Meet Banoffe "Danger" Pie. Why "danger"? Still with me? 3 bananas 1 tin of sweetened condensed milk 2 cups whipping cream 1 package of digestive biscuits or graham crackers1 stick of butter 1 tsp vanilla 1 small bar of chocolate If you don't mind using store bought ingredients you can cut down a lot on the steps but since I was posting it I figured I would make a proper version entirely from scratch just for you. Your first step can be done way ahead of time (at least hours but can be as much as months before). After requisite time has passed, take pot off the stove and allow the can to cool. So you're ready with your toffee, its time to do the rest. To make the crust (*You can skip this step entirely by buying a ready made graham cracker crust.) So there you have it.
Homemade Snickers Bars | How Sweet It Is - StumbleUpon
Insanity. That’s what this is. Pure In.San.It.TEEEEE. You know those days when you’re in desperate need of sugar and you’ve already downed more gummy vitamins than recommended while seriously considering how many more you can ingest without causing severe harm to your internal organs? They’re just so gooooood. Well… in that case you should make some homemade snickers bars. And I KNOW you know what I’m talking about. I spent the majority of my pre-pubescent and adolescent years scheming just how I would be able to steal my brothers’ Halloween candy. Then I went through a SERIOUS phase of those Snickers ice cream bars. And that you can eat a million of them. These days, it’s rare that I crave actual candy, often preferring some chewy cookies or super rich cheesecake or a bar of amazing chocolate that costs thrice as much as the recent organic meyer lemons I purchased. They are the peanut butter to my jelly. The salt to my pepper. The broccoli to my… wait, no. And the fabulous part? nougat layer
Banoffee Pie
When Andy and I lived in England, we would visit his grandparents nearly every weekend for a roast dinner. I could wax poetic about Nanny’s roast dinner for ages, but you can read about it here. Nanny made everything from scratch, but she rarely made dessert. I must take after my English nanny, because until last weekend I had never made Banoffee pie either. “Banoffee” pretty much speaks for itself: banana & toffee. And don’t worry, this pie isn’t about perfection. Simple Banoffee PieServes 6 to 8 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, label removed 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs 6 tablespoons sugar, divided 5 tablespoons butter, melted 2 large (or 3 medium) bananas, sliced 1 ½ cups chilled heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup shaved (or chopped) semi- or bittersweet chocolate Set sweetened condensed milk can in a medium saucepan with water to come ¾ of the way up. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.

Snickurtle Pie: Snickers meet Turtles
Snickers and Turtles Pie. Can we call it Snickurtle ??? I don’t know what/who/how to name this pie… it’s a pie where a snickers bar and a turtle candy meet and make a baby. Then their baby is frozen. And then that baby will soon become your new favorite ice cream/pie/cheesecake. But there isn’t an actual snickers bar nor a turtle candy in there. Look at that delicious mess! I got this recipe from a friend’s mom. I hunted her down a few days after my shower and we finally got her mom to give up the recipe. Like 5 hours. The first time I made it I inhaled it; no surprise there. The next time I made it my dad and I wolfed it down in one sitting. We plan to repeat that today. Snickurtle Pie: Snickers meet Turtles Ingredients Instructions In a mixing bowl mix together the crumbs and melted butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. I’m linking this up to Foodbeast. Happy Father’s Day!

Oh baby. Oh yes. You can have your dough and eat it too. No raw eggs here. WOOOOOO~HOOOOO! So, these are no-bake, addictive and may even help you win friends and influence people, rumor has it. It makes a lot, so be sure and share. I told you it makes a lot. You don’t have to dip them, either. But, I did dip some, too…. had to do something with all that chocolate. To make these you will need: Cookie dough truffles 1/2 cup softened salted butter 3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk 2 1/4 c flout * this is a word spell-check always gets me back with{grr} flour is a great substitute for flout-whatever flout is. 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips So easy: combine (in a bowl,) the butter, sugar,vanilla,and sweetened condensed milk. Now, you may be able to form this into balls at this point. Melt 12 oz chocolate chips with 1 tbs shortening or butter. Now, you can dip the balls using a spoon- or fill pastry bags with the melted chocolate and drizzle. [/print_this]
