Shire House Cream Cheese Pear Tart
Comments (8)You are welcome dancingqueen. I have a recipe with pork and pears that I haven't made in years. Thank you for the reminder. Thanks Silvia. Actually I would be happy to eat this tart without any topping. I love cream cheese fillings. Nancy, maybe for the Virtual Dinner? Thanks Linda and Bumblebeez. ~Ann...See MoreSub for heavy whipping cream
Comments (4)I just made pumpkin custard last week but used the Libby's website recipe. It called for sugar and evaporated milk. If you've got a recipe to try, I don't see why you couldn't use regular milk with some instant dry milk added to give it more heft. After all, regular custard is often made with plain milk. I just wouldn't use fat free milk. Or you could add an extra egg. No matter what you end up doing, I'd be sure to bake in a water bath and no higher than 325 degrees. That way the mixture wouldn't curdle. I found two recipes that were identical but one called for half & half and baking in a casserole at 350 without a water bath. The Libby's recipe called for baking at 300 with a water bath. I used to make plain egg custard all the time years ago and knew I should use a water bath, so that's what I did. The low & slow method resulted in perfectly done and beautifully creamy pumpkin custard....See MoreBest way to stabilize whipped cream?
Comments (24)I actually have a file on this, originally dated 2004, and updated whenever I find out more info. Maybe this will help you...the info is from a variety of sources--apologies if a source is another poster and I neglected to give that info! Smiles, Sooz Recipe for stabilizing whipped cream from the Wilton year book 1tsp Unflavored gelatin 4tsp Cold water 1cup Heavy whipping cream 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 C powdered sugar Combine gelatin and cold water in a saucepan. Let stand until thick. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, just until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm. DO NOT LET IT SET. Whip cream, sugar, and vanilla until slightly thickened. While beating slowly, gradually add the gelatin to whipped cream mixture. Whip at high speed until stiff. Remember: Cakes iced with whipped cream must be stored in the refrigerator. ** ** TIP: To stabilize Whipped Cream Frosting, in cup, sprinkle 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water. Place cup over simmering water until gelatin is dissolved, stirring occasionally; cool to lukewarm. Gradually beat into cream before adding sugar. ***** from woodny (woody?) on Sat, Jul 20, 02 at 23:43 I do catering and these are the teqniques that have worked for me. You can purchase Whipped cream frosting in vanilla and chocolate flavors at most cake supply stores. The ones that specialize in cake decorating/supplies not just someone who carries supplies(like Michaels or Joanns). They usually come in quart, 1/2 gallon and gallon sizes. These are the whipped cream frosting that are used on most bakery cakes. If you are going to eat the cake with in 1-2 hours after frosting it the powdered sugar will be enough to keep it stable. *** Here are two ways that I stabalize whipping cream: 1. There is a product you can buy in the grocery store called WHIP IT. (It is NOT the same thing as dream whip. Do NOT use dream whip as a substitute.) You can usually find it in the foreign/ethnic food section. It is made by OETKER. It works great. It comes in packets about the size of Kool-aid packets. There are two that are stuck together side by side. The package is light blue with dark blue lettering. It says "Oetker, WHIP IT, stabalizer for whipping cream." (This is a long explaination but everytime I send some one to find it they can't so I have learned to give detailed descriptions.) Anyway . . . I will frost a wedding cake with it and it will last 2 or three days. This is MY preferred method. It is the easiest and cheapest way for me....See MoreChurro Waffles with Whipped Cream and Chocolate
Comments (7)My son just made these (and tinted them green of course lol) - delicious! He loves to cook, and I love having him home - he gets a college break, and I get a cooking break :). The other night he made a creamy lemon garlic fettuccine dish with chicken, and tomorrow he's going to make some cherry glazed ribs......See MoreLoneJack Zn 6a, KC
