Brought to potluck and coworkers said it was the best buttermilk chess pie they've had yet! Used mexican vanilla in recipe and cooked for 1hr 10 minutes for 1 full-regular pie crust. NOTE: You can get 2 pies out of this recipe using regular sized crust or 1 deep-dish pie.

Portuguese Custard Tarts - Pasteis de Nata

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2005

I had these in Europe and was dying to make them at home. The custard is very delicious and very easy to prepare. The puff pastry was a bit tricky and time-consuming to work with in the muffin cups. I think I will attempt to use another type of pastry that has a bit more of a delicate and flakier texture like of the one's I experienced in Europe. Nonetheless, these custard tarts were yummy and I will make them again, just gotta find that perfect pastry to compliment the custard. Obrigado!

Portuguese Sweet Bread I

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2005

Outstanding Bread Recipe! The ease of making it in a bread machine makes this recipe one of my favorites. I have made this bread 5 times already and it comes out perfect each time. It got raving compliments from my Hawaiian Portuguese friends too. They *loved* it. I will sometimes use this bread as a base recipe and add in 1/4 c. of finely chopped coconut, 1 tsp.of coconut extract and use coconut milk in place of the milk to make a coconut variation. Another twist I use with this bread is to add 1/4 c. of crystallize ginger and 2 tsp. of Lemon juice to the recipe. I also replace the white sugar with the brown turbinado sugar. Topped with honey butter made with Lilikoi honey and this bread is ONOLICIOUS!! Merci beaucoup for sharing!

Tiramisu Layer Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2003

This cake is OUTSTANDING! Lots of raves and one of my favorites. I could not find the mascarpone cheese, so I used regular cream cheese. I also used a cup of Pampered Chef's flavored coffee (1/3 C. per layer) and for the dusting, I combined Ghiradelli's Mocha Hot Chocolate, Cocoa and International's brand instant coffee-Swisse Mocha flavor in order to take the edge off of pure Cocoa as well as combine the coffee/chocolate flavors of the cake. Molto Bene!

Tres Leches III

Reviewed: Jun. 13, 2001

After tasting this cake at a Mexican Restuarant here in Texas, my hispanic friend insisted that I make it for her Easter gathering. Being quite the baker, and having baked many cakes before, the crowd raved over this cake and proclaimed that I had outdone myself and that it was the best cake I'd made yet!
