15 years ago

Maybe you will too! She made this yesterday and I was drooling.

Lime Blueberry Tiramisu

1 pint heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1 pound mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

3 (3-ounce) packages unfilled ladyfingers

1 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed

1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling

Fresh mint leaves, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, beat cream with an electric mixer at medium speed until thickened. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Gently stir in cheese until combined; set aside.

Split ladyfingers in half. Line a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with ladyfingers, cut side up. Brush ladyfingers with limeade concentrate. Spoon half of cheese mixture over ladyfingers. Top with half of blueberry pie filling. Repeat procedure for the next layer with remaining ladyfingers, limeade, cheese mixture, and pie filling. Cover and chill 8 hours. Cut into squares to serve.

Oh, man. If I lived closer I'd hop in the truck and drive right over, just to give you an excuse to make that divine-looking dessert.

Sorry, I just saw this topic, I didn't know it had been resurrected again. Natal, Paula lost weight eons ago. Old news. Do you work for Google? :) Lukk, Paula is the one who made her health public. She's had the disease for a few years now and she is going to make money from advertising a new medication for diabetes. Since she kept it a secret for so long while cooking high carb and DELICIOUS food, lol, speculation is she only "came out" because of the money. Which rubbed a LOT of people the wrong way, even others on the Food Network. Tina, I did see the interview, she's in denial when she said there's only a "few" people who were mean. Once more she hedged and said how much her family loves her. But I guess I'd do the same. It's not going to die down unless she stops those interviews with Al. I'll still watch her show unless she starts cooking "light." Everybody with a brain knows it's all about moderation. It's like telling an Italian cook with Diabetes to can the pasta. lol I have to wonder though, will the drug company still use her now that she's had such bad publicity, so bad that her own, long-time publicist quit on her because of how Paula handled it? Stay tuned! I still like her though, she just made a questionable choice.

Norma, I went to a few other recipe sites and someone had the Just Desserts cookbook. Here is the recipe: SWEET BABY CARROT CAKE Cake 2 c. self-rising flour 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 2 (4 oz.) jars strained baby carrot food 4 eggs 2 c. sugar 1 1/2 c. vegetable oil Frosting 1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, softened 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened 1 (16 oz.) box powdered sugar 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract Preheat oven to 325*. Grease & flour three (3) 8" or 9" cake pans. Mix all cake ingredients together & blend with a hand-held mixer. Pour batter into prepared cake pans. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool in pans for 5 minutes. Invert onto lint-free dishcloth, or waxed paper and allow to cool completely. For frosting, mix all ingredients with a hand-held mixer & blend until smooth and creamy. Frost layers, top, and sides of cooled cake. Serves 16.

I don't really like Paula Deen either...I hate the way she portrays the southern woman. Many people will look at her (idiot acting) ways and think that all southern women act and talk like her. orie I think the same thing especially when I see food on her chin or coming out the corner of her mouth. Glenda I think I saw on the food network a show about the waffles and fried chicken...seems like a restaurant that stayed open late for the late night crowd invented the chicken and waffle meal. Their two big meals that people ordered were waffles or fried chicken after a night out and lots of partying (drinking. Gladys Knight and Ron Winans have a place in Atlanta but I don't think they were the original ...I'll have to check that out. Here is a link that might be useful: Chicken and Waffles

Paula Deen's Kentucky Pie

I had meant to do that; thanks for the reminder! :-) The pie turned out very thick and rich. DH and the DC absolutely love it. One bite was enough for me! I much prefer pumpkin pie. They did not put ice cream on theirs, but whipped cream. It's a bit cold right now for ice cream.

THis looks good...I am saving it. DH and I would never been able to eat it all alone.

Hey Susan,you are so right! In fact,I over whipped some just a couple of days ago and it was "almost" butter.Hate it when I do that! I ate it anyway,over fresh strawberries.LOL

Lilli, try slices of sponge cake or angel food cake instead of ladyfingers.

Plenty of fat in that recipe with the whipping cream and cheese.
Gosh that looks good.

Lady fingers I had as a young'un were from homeown Electric Maid bakery. Everything from there was delicious. Our Sunday butterflake rolls always came from there.

And her lady fingers were so light, Fond memories of going there with my mother and sister.

First time I ever had elephant ears was from there, and none can compare with Electric Maid's bakery.
