Ganache Chocolate Nutella by Amos MillerUse this topping on any thing you wish to enhance with CHOCOLATE, from baked goods to ice cream. It will keep for a couple of days unrefrigerated - a couple of weeks in the cooler. Sprinkle some finely chopped nuts on top of the ganache, if you wish - even some crushed peppermint candy. Gran Marnier and Chambord are great… |

Faux Chocolate Silk Pie by Salad FoodieA chocolate lover’s delight and so easy for Easter or Mother’s Day dessert. Rich and smooth, this take on French chocolate silk pie has a secret - tofu replaces heavy cream! But no one will know the difference - unless you tell! I tried this out on my unsuspecting son who avoids tofu-anything. He sampled it, then scarfed the whole… |

Shoo-Fly Pie by Denise SherinThis is probably the most well known amish pie. When we were small children our Grandfather used to take great pleasure in telling us that shoo-fly pie was made of actual flies! As we gasped in horror, he would wave his hand as if "shoo'ing a fly away" and say we got tired of shooing the flies away as the pie was cooling so we just… |

For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated by growing things that can be eaten. I can't fully explain the magic of that for a city kid, but to actually see the stuff that comes out of the cans or… |

Mini Mango Tarts by Hungry JennyWhen I made these, they deflated a little whilst cooling, then the tops cracked a bit after chilling in the fridge! I'm not sure what cooling tactics I was meant to use there (any advice welcome!) but they taste good, which is the important thing! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/05/friday-pie-day-mini-mango-tarts.html |

Berry Galette by Stephen LambHere's the summery pairing to the Galette Dough, largely inspired by Julia Child. Galette's aren't hard to make by any means, but they are just a few notches above cookies in the dessert hierarchy. One thing to be wary of is that this galette can leak a bit in the oven, so have a baking sheet or jelly roll pan lined with foil… |

Galette Dough by Stephen LambFar from an original recipe, we've Julia Child to thank for this one, with my own commentary integrated into the recipe. A fantastic way to celebrate the berry season, add fruit as you wish. A word of warning, however--especially watery fruits like strawberries present a problem for this dessert. For one possible use, and… |
