			==Chocolate Velvet Pie [WW: x points]==
			<i>Imported from [[User:Aurora\|Aurora]]'s page, requested by my mom by name as "Chris's Hot Mom's Pie": (Thanksgiving 11/23/17)</i>

			Servings: Pie

			Xxx.

			===Ingredients===

			* 2 cups (l large package) milk chocolate chips
			* 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (Do not use regular cream cheese, as it is a PITA to mix.)
			* 1 tsp vanilla
			* 6 oz Cool Whip (from 8 oz tub; retain 1/4 for topping)
			* 1 chocolate pie crust

			===Instructions===

			# If using different crust, bake pie crust for 5 minutes at 375 deg F. <br /> Not with Oreo crust, as that just makes it more crumbly.
			# Microwave chips 1 minute at 70% power; stir; microwave 30 to 60 seconds longer at 70%. Blend until smooth.
			# Beat cream cheese into chocolate. If necessary, microwave 30 seconds at 70% power for easier blending.
			# Add vanilla and Cool Whip. Blend.
			# Spoon into pie crust. <br /> '''//NTS: Do this better. I suck.//'''
			# Chill until firm.
			# ''//Optional topping/decor?//''

	<i>As it turns out, a dash is not just a random shake of the bottle in the general direction of your mixing bowl, but comes to about 1/8 tsp - and a pinch is about 1/16 tsp, while a smidgen is half that or about 1/32 tsp.

Of course, I know that now. At the time, I did as I did and I make no apologies. What I did was to literally "shake" the spice sprinkler lid in the general direction of the mix an approximate number of times. As no one knows this pie, you can do whatever you damn well like. No one's telling me this isn't proper vampire pie.

			==Rose Vanilla Dream Ice Cream [WW: x points]==
			<i>(Girly Night, 2/6/12)</i>

			Servings: xx

			Served with crock-potted BBQ pork ribs, and the most amazing instant mashed potatoes infused with butter, herbs, corn, and a decadent amount and number of cheeses.

			Ice cream includes 5 key ingredients: ice crystals, fat, sugar, air, and other solids (proteins and minerals in the milk; yolks; etc.). Extensively researched various online rose ice creams; may try other versions or another hybrid.
			Most recipes called for varying ratios of heavy cream, light cream, whipping cream, half and half, skimmed milk powder, and/or milk; sweeteners (sugar, cane juice, honey, caster sugar, confectioners' sugar); some included egg yolks; one mentioned tapioca starch; some called for heating the base, others not; rose water vs. extract vs. essential oils; vanilla pods vs. extract vs. contents of tea bags.

			Primary sources for first hybrid: Rose Vanilla Ice Cream, from Bruce Weinstein's "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book" by way of the intertubes, combined with basic vanilla i.c. recipe included with the machine.

			===Ingredients===

			* 2 cups half and half
			* 1-2 cups heavy cream
			* 2? oz agave syrup (my tweak -- originals called for either 1.5 c sugar or .75 c evaporated sugar cane juice)
			* 6 Tablespoons rose water (my tweak -- original recipe called for 2 drops 'rosa damacena' high grade therapeutic essential oil)
			* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
			* Organic rose petals, confetti cut (next time I won't add so many petals, and will try to cut them smaller -- ended up more chewy than expected)
			* 1 dash red food coloring
			* (A couple recipes called for 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt -- not sure it's necessary)
			* Sprinkle slivered almonds on top

			===Instructions===

			# Freeze bowls overnight.
			# Combine ingredients; cover and keep refrigerated.
			# Run paddle machine 8-9 mins per 12 oz bowl.
