Cream Cheese Pie Crust An electric stand mixer makes quick work of this crust, and a hand-held electric mixer will do a fine job. The dough can be refrigerated overnight, but it will have to sit at room temperature until it is soft enough to roll. 1 cup flour In a small bowl, sift the flour and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, combine the butter and cream cheese until smooth, about 45 seconds. Mix in the flour mixture until the dough holds together and forms large clumps that come away from the sides of the bowl, about 30 seconds. Form the dough into a smooth ball, flatten into a 6-inch disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or overnight. The dough is now ready to roll. Frosty Lemon Chiffon Pie Yield: 6 servings 1 cup cold whole milk Sugared Lemon Slices, optional, recipe follows In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat 1/2 cup of the milk and dry whipped topping mix in a large bowl for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Set aside. In another large bowl, beat 1 jar of lemon curd, lemon pudding mix, and remaining 1/2 cup of milk for 2 minutes, or until smooth and beginning to thicken. Fold whipped topping mixture into lemon pudding mixture. Spoon into pie crust. Spread slightly thawed whipped topping over lemon mixture. Swirl remaining lemon curd through whipped topping. Freeze for 30 minutes before serving. Decorate pie with sugared lemon slices, if desired. Sugared Lemon Slices: 1 lemon *RAW EGG WARNING The American Egg Board states: “There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness.

Chili’s® Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie® What makes this dessert so special is the way it comes to your table sizzling in a cast iron skillet. Just like fajitas. The chocolate chip cookie and graham cracker crust “pie” is topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and then drizzled with chocolate and caramel syrup. It’s all served up in a hot skillet of cinnamon butter. Yum! If you want to prepare this one just like they do at the restaurant, you’ll need one of those skillets for each serving. Small iron skillets work the best, but any 6 or 8-inch frying pan will do fine. You just have to be sure your pan is super hot to get that authentic Chili’s “sizzle.” If you don’t have enough of the right pans for each serving, you can slide it all onto a plate. It may not have the sizzle of the real thing, but it’ll still taste awesome! Cookie Layer Crust Layer 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Cinnamon Butter 9 scoops vanilla ice cream 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Makes 9 desserts. |
