Thanks, LP. The color of the photo isn't really right. For some reason the color of the top row is the only right one.
 
Thanks you guys. I made a dozen for my daughter for her birthday with free refills for a year. So if I'm not making them for me, I'm making them for her.
 
Question. I made a chocolate cream pie with whipped cream. I was debating about using unflavored gelatin to stabilize it. But I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do. I know I heard of it somewhere, but when I Googled it, I couldn't find anything about it. So is it done to stabilize whipped cream or egg whites? :angel:

Addie, we've used just powdered sugar and cocoa with heavy cream to make a frosting and the resulting whipped cream holds well.

Stabilizing with gelatin also works great. I do that for some recipes.

Thanks Andy. I was making it at night and giving it the next day. That is why I wanted to stabilize it. :angel:
 
I made some peanut butter cookies today. They taste so good warm right out of the oven. We also had them for a dessert after supper tonight.
 
Creme brulees with bittersweet chocolate shavings on bottom.

I now have 5 egg whites with nothing to do. Looks like it'd some kind of pie choice after the brulees are gone.

Yes, freeze. Or meringue. And I would be happy to take some of the creme brulee off of your hands, just in case your don't have room in the freezer. :yum:

Well, I made 6 and 3 are gone already, someone decided to have 2 tonight. They are very, very good, but I only had 1. We haven't had any of these in a LONG time. So, don't think I'll have long until I need to use up the egg whites. Either a French silk pie with a meringue crust or a chocolate meringue pie is in our future.

Little late chiming in on this but there is such a thing. Don't know why it didn't come up on your Google search. I just put in "whipped cream stabilizer." I actually have some of the Dr. Oetker Whip-It that I bought a while back but haven't used yet so I can't comment as to efficacy. There are several types though.

Addie,
You're right about using gelatine to stabilize whipped cream. It's a trick I first learned in one of Maida Heatter's books.

Dissolve 1/2 tsp of gelatine in 2 Tbsp of water. Use the microwave to dissolve. Cool it to room temp.

That's the amount to use in 1 cup of whipping cream. Just whip it in with the sugar & vanilla & cream. It works! I do it all the time.

Last night I made a gluten free zucchini raisin loaf. We have actually eaten half of it already. TB told me I have to make these more often...as he grabbed another slice! :LOL:
