Sweet Treats...a recipe


Banana Bread*Sin Bars


Strawberry Sherbet

Ingredients

2 quarts fresh strawberries (or 4 10-ounce packages frozen, thawed & drained)
1 to 1 1/2 Cup instant superfine sugar
2 egg whites
1/4 Cup lemon juice
1 Cup heavy (whipping) cream

 

Part 1

Wash and hull strawberries.

Puree through a food mill or sieve set. It is okay to use a blender or food processor and then pour through a strainer. The purpose here is to get rid of as many of the seeds as possible.

Add sugar and lemon jiuce.

Beat for a minute or two until the sugar has dissolved.

Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until they form soft peaks.

Mix egg whites into the strawberry puree.

Cover and freeze for several hours or until puree has almost set (4 to 5 hours).

 

Part 2

Beat with a wire whisk for several minutes to break up ice crystals and lighten texture.

Add cream to cover mixture.

Beat just enough so mixture holds its shape in a spoon.

Cover and return to freezer (3 to 4 hours or overnight).

Original Sin Bars

Ingredients

2 Cups chunky peanut butter
1 1/2 Cups of butter or margerine (3 sticks)
2 Cups graham cracker crumbs
4 Cups powdered sugar
1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips

Melt 1 cup or 2 sticks of butter or margerine in a saucepan or microwave.

Stir in the peanut butter and blend until the butter is smooth.

Blend in graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar until thoroughly combined.

Pat into ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan.

Melt the chocolate chips and the remaining half cup (1 stick) of butter or margerine in a saucepan or microwave until the mixture is smooth.

Spread the chocolate glaze on top of the peanut butter mixture.

Chill before slicing and serving. I make my portions no more than 1 inch square.

Note: You may wish to make half this recipe and use a smaller pan. This is a very rich dessert!

ENJOY
