Pies, Cobblers, Tarts & More

If you’re thinking that I’ve already posted a video recipe for vanilla ice cream, I have, but for what I consider a real” vanilla ice cream, which means no eggs. Layer bananas, wafers and milk chocolate pastry cream for a richer take on the classic pudding dish. There shouldn’t be a lot of stress involved in making this free-form strawberry tart, since once it’s topped with fresh berries, and thickly glazed, it will look like something from a Paris pastry shop.

Saffron and orange bitters join forces in this ice cream for an ambrosial, can’t-put-your-finger-on-it deliciousness. It has been tweaked in last few years to whip the cool whip with a softened block of cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Fresh blueberries are the star of this summery tart, with a crisp crust and sour cream-cream cheese filling playing perfect backup.

But lately, the market has decided to discontinue the product, so I restraint the use of Plugra butter in croissants and danishes only. We offer a variety of flour substitutes to fit your nutritional needs and tastes. These easy cupcake recipes would impress even a true gourmand, and you can never go wrong with a simple chocolate cake.

Depending on my mood, sometime I like to leave the fruits unbaked and garnish directly onto the sweet tart shell with a little pastry cream,like these Sometime, I like to bake the dough and fruits together, like these gorgeous galettes. Whisk the ragi flour along with 1/2 cup of water and slowly add this to the boiling almond milk and water.

With the machine on low, add the flour in three or four additions and mix only until the mixture comes together to form a soft, moist dough- a matter of seconds. Tyler gives fudgy, moist walnut brownies an adult twist by infusing them with almond liqueur. Add in cashews or pecans, brown sugar, toffee pieces, butter and eggs, and you’ve got a quick blondie-style dessert.
