Dessert
Tips - Enjoy These Pie Possibilities
by: News Canada
(NC)—There may not be a better dessert than
a mouth-watering slice of pie fresh from the oven.
But serving your pie with a dollop of whipped cream,
or "a la mode" with a cool scoop of vanilla
ice cream can dress up this treat. Add a dash more
creativity and a humble pie becomes a true work of
art that will have your family and friends coming
back for seconds.
"You can make your own pie from scratch or serve
one our new line of frozen "unbaked" pies
-that look and taste just like they're homemade,"
says Chris Glowienka, spokesperson for Sara Lee. "Either
way, here are some other 'pie possibilities' to elevate
this favourite dessert from delectable comestible
to mouthwatering masterpiece."
• • Make individual treats by cutting
a baked and chilled pumpkin pie into bite-sized squares.
Place a decorative toothpick in each bite.
• • Sprinkle the top of your apple pie
with shredded cheddar cheese three to five minutes
before the end of baking.
• • Break up apple pie leftovers into
an ovenproof dish, cover with grated cheese and raisins.
Microwave or run under the broiler until the cheese
melts. Yum!
• • Remove the streusel topping from one
of Sara Lee's frozen, unbaked Dutch Apple Pies and
place it in a bowl. Mix the streusel with raisins
nuts, dried fruit, or a combination. Replace streusel
topping on the frozen pie and bake according to instructions.
For a festive holiday flourish, cool the pie, and
then add whipped topping and cranberry sauce.
• • For a decadent "Pecan Sundae",
cut out a circle of pecan pie and top with a scoop
of butter pecan ice cream. Drizzle with butterscotch
sauce, pile on whipped topping and garnish with crust
crumbles from the pie and top with a maraschino cherry.
Eat it and weep.
