Thanks, ErininNY for the Raspberry Hazelnut Tart! recipe Just yesterday I was called by 2 different people who have each placed an order for this tart from me! (See Thread #24513 for REC ErininNY posted.)
The other new dessert I tried was the 2013 Amateur Pie Contest winner. Delicious! ==>
Sittin' on the Sandbar Key Lime Pie
2013 APC Crisco National Pie Championships Amateur Division
Best of Show and 1st Place Citrus
Amy Freeze, Avon Park, FL
Crust
2 c. crushed vanilla wafers
2 TBSP granulated sugar
5 TBSP. melted butter
Filling
8 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese-softened
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1-15 oz can Eagle Brand Condensed milk
3/4 c. Coco Lopez (Cream of Coconut)
3/4 c. key lime juice
In a bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Allow to cool to the touch before filling.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs & egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add condensed milk and beat well. Add key lime juice and Coco Lopez and beat well. Pour into crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until center is set to the touch. Allow to cool before refrigerating.
Whipped Cream Layer
1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 c. powdered sugar
In a cold bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff. Pipe large rosettes around edges.
Garnish
Lime slices & white chocolate sea shells
To make white chocolate sea shells:
Melt white chocolate almond bark or white chocolate pieces in microwave. Pour into sea shell molds. Chill until set.
Notes from Caryn: To make 2 pies I pulverized one whole box of vanilla wafers along with 1 small pkg store-bought Key Lime cookies in my food processor. I only pre-baked my crusts for 8 minutes @ 350F. One 15-oz can Coco Lopez was just the right amount to make 2 pies. One single recipe as listed above fit perfectly into a clear glass deep-dish 9-inch Pyrex pie plate. The pies took 40 minutes of baking time in my oven @ 325 degrees F. I cut each pie into 10 slices. Click on link to see a picture. Mine looked just like that!
