Butterscotch pie

1-cup brown sugar
4 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp salt
2 cups warm milk
2 beaten egg yolks
1 tbsp butter
Vanilla

I combine everything except the butter and vanilla and cook it in the microwave.

Whisk it together and zap it for about 2 minutes on high. After that, zap it for about 1 minute at a time at 50% power, and whisk (stir) it each time.

Watch is closely, and when it starts to thicken up…its ready for the pie shell. This makes 1 pie. Pour into a pre-baked and cool piecrust.

Let set for a couple of hours. I like it with whipped cream, but some folks put a meringue topping on it.

Dairy Queen Blizzard XE

1/4 c Milk
2 1/2 c Vanilla ice cream
1 teas. Fudge topping

Freeze the Heath bar. Break the candy into tiny pieces with a knife handle before removing form wrapper. Combine all of the ingredients in the blender and blend for 30 seconds on med. speed. Stop the blender to stir the mixture with a spoon; repeat until well mixed. Pour into a 16-oz. glass. Your homemade blizzard may not be as thick as its commercial counterpart. If you would like a thicker treat, after pouring the mixture   into your cup, simply place it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency. VARIATIONS: Try substituting different candies.

1 1/2 cups Fine graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup Butter (softened)

Filling:

1 pound Cream cheese
1 cup Sour cream
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 cup Granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 375 F. For crust combine crumbs, sugar and butter and mix well. Press firmly into 9" pie-pan covering bottom only. Bake for 8 min., or until the edges are slightly brown. Reduce oven to 350 F. For filling, combine cheese, sour cream, cornstarch, and sugar in bowl of mixer. Mix until sugar has dissolved. Add the butter and vanilla and blend until smooth. Be careful not to over mix, or the filling will become too fluffy and will crack when cooling. Pour the filling over the crust.

Chill or freeze until ready to eat.
