I had some leftover diplomat cream from the pastry challenge I did last weekend, and found a banana cream pie recipe that could use it. The recipe was from a cookbook I've had for a while but never tried anything from - the Roselyn's Cookbook. When I lived in Indiana, I heard story after story about Roselyn's - a historic local bakery that had unfortunately closed by the time I lived there, but they had sold recipes and continued selling some of their products under the Roselyn's name.
The banana cream pie is nothing difficult - I used a graham cracker crust, soaked the 3 bananas in pineapple juice, filled the crust with the diplomat cream, topped it with bananas, and put whipped cream on the top. 
The piece I took doesn't look pretty (really I should have used a somewhat different cream that would have set up more) but it tasted good!Hooray for pie week!

ReplyDeleteI'm willing to take part in the event, too, Jenny - I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea with that leftover Diplomat cream!!
ReplyDeleteInstead of corn meal in the veggie burgers you can use bread crumbs. I used corn because it ties in with the southwestern feel of the burger. I haven't read Omnivore's Dilemma--what's the problem with corn (as opposed to any other unethically grown food)?
