What's For Dessert?

[CWS4322]

I am not a dessert person. I like homemade ice cream a couple of times/year, and this:

My Dad and I disagree on whether it is brown or white sugar. I have made this every year during peach season since I was 10. He has only made it since my Mom could no longer bake. I like my maternal Grandma's crust better the JOC. He likes JOC. Regardless, it turns out every time. It takes very little effort to prep, and is, at least for me, as much the taste of summer as corn-on-the-cob. Surprisingly, once baked and cooled, it does freeze well.

In my family, this is the quintessential "Dog Days' of Summer" dessert. Growing up, it was our favorite breakfast in August. You can obviously use a store-bought crust. My grandma taught me how to make pie crust when I was 9, so pie crust is something I could almost do with my eyes closed. Should you make it, please share your thoughts with DC. I am biased .

Made my first creme puff tonight. All from scratch. Eclairs were horrible but creme puffs and creme were awesome.

Pics didn’t come out right. Let’s try again
Made another batch today also. These things are so good!



Today’s batch I only tried creme puffs. I didn’t have the right pipe tip for eclairs so didn’t bother trying again. New to all of this.

One of the things I learned about peaches and cheese when I was working with the catering company as a recipe editor/developer/tester was that peaches pair excellently with bleu cheese. I developed a roasted peach-bleu cheese (creamy, from Quebec) and arugula salad. I can't remember the dressing but I think it was a dark chocolate balsamic with a light EVOO. My notebooks are in storage in Ontario. Now that I am thinking of this pie, I think the next time I make it, I might add some crumbled creamy bleu cheese to the half and half to up the peach intensity...

How interesting you mention this..

Many, many years ago, while at a convention in Atlanta, I had a dessert which paired peaches with bleu cheese.. I thought it wonderful but, at that time I wasn't into cooking or baking and gave it no further thought..

I try to feed anyone I come in contact with to get rid of all of it lol. I am new to cooking/baking so I just enjoy making the stuff. Aftermath I give a lot away or feed the family so I can make room to make the next thing smile.

I will usually cook something like breakfast/dinner and then make a dessert so yea I guess twice a day

Besides I get to taste things I could never could buy by me

Late night cake night. Magnolia style.
Whole cake gone in 1 sitting

I’m not surprised that the cake was gone in one sitting. Looks delicious!

If you’ve ever had Magnolia cupcakes you’ll immediately understand why

Thinking about another one today along with some pulled pork homemade sandwiches.

Yea last night 4 of us pulled together late night to chow it down. Amazing how quick everyone came together to ‘taste test’ it.

Looks good. Is that carmelization the browning or ripe banana or just the cake color?
