GEORGIES PIE

Start with a 9" pie shell

ingredients

2 eggs separated
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
6 oz nestles semi sweet morsels

beat the egg whites, vinegar, salt till stiff but not dry, gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beat till stiff, peaks will stay.
spread on pie shell [this seems to make alot, so if you dont use it all its ok, just enough to cover the crust, it keeps the dough from getting moist]
Bake @325 for 15 minutes, the egg gets a light brown tinge
slowly melt chocolate [ use a dbl boiler.panwith water in it then a pan inside that with the chocolate in it]
beat together egg yolks and water and add to chocolate mixture and blend.
pour 1/2 chocolate mixture on pie, spread around evenly, let cool, 10-15 minutes...put other half of choc aside
beat together whipping cream, sugar, cinnamon, 1/4 cup sugar till stiff
spread 1/2 whipped cream mixture on pie, fold remaining chocolate mixture into the rest of the whipped cream and blend, then spread on pie....refrig for a cpl of hours and enjoy!!
like I said its been around my family for a long time and I dont really measure stuff so much these days cuz Ive made it so many times, I tend to use a bit more cinnamon and whipped cream, just because they are so damn yummy....thanks everyone for all the great recipes that have been posted

Real Rice Puddin'

Serves four

1½- Cups cooked rice
2- Cups whole milk, divided
1/3- Cups sugar
2/3- Cups raisins or any dried fruit
¼- teaspoons salt
1-tablespoon butter
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoons vanilla (optional) I use 1 TBS honey a lot instead
Dash nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)

Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar and salt in heavy saucepan or double boiler. Cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally until thick and creamy, 15-20 minutes, the more you stir it while cooking the creamer it is. Blend remaining half cup milk and egg. Stir into rice mixture. Add raisins. Cook 2 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, add butter and vanilla. Spoon this into serving dishes. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.

If you use powdered milk add half a stick of butter to rice/milk while cooking (2% milk, quarter stick), it needs the fat to thicken and be creamy.

With dried Blueberries...

In the Fall of 2004, while planning yet another 'Alaska Thanksgiving Bon Fire and Feast,' a person who had helped with our campaigns here agreed to bring a dessert to the party.

She said it would be 'Pumpkin Cheese Cake.' In the back of my mind I was carrying on a cynical and prejudiced conversation with myself; myself not liking regular pumpkin pie that much anyway, and wondering who in their right mind would mess up an otherwise excellent cheese cake by adding PUMPKIN to it!! BLASPHEMY!!

But the evening came, the bon fire was lit, and folks had chowed as much from the pot luck main dishes as they wanted. Time for my dessert.

I figured that I had at least a moral obligation to undo some of the bad karma associated with my pre-judgement of such noble efforts as I had committed against her cheese cake. So I tried a piece... HOLY COW!! This stuff was AWESOME!!

Chocolate Marbled Cheese Cake:
----------------------------------

Crust:
------
-1-1/4 Cups Graham cracker crumbs (you can use graham crackers in a food processor to save buying crumbs; or if you give kids a box of graham crackers, by about 3 hours later, you'll have sufficient crumbs. ;^>) )

-1/8 Cup+ granulated sugar (You can substitute light brown sugar fro a switch..)

-1/4 Cup melted butter.

Combine ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9" spring-form pan. Bake at 350 degrees f. for 8-10 minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Filling:
-------
-(3) three 8 oz. packages of cream cheese

-3/4 Cup granulated sugar

-1/2 Cup sour cream

-2 tsp. real vanilla extract

-3 TBSP Flour

-3 to 4 eggs (depending on size and personal preference)

-1/2 tsp real vanillla extract

Combine cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream and 2 tsp. vanilla extract in large bowl, and beat 'til smooth. Then add flour, 1 TBSP at a time, until well blended. Add eggs, and beat mix well.

In small bowl, combine cocao and 1/4 cup sugar, mixing dry ingredients well. Add oil, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1-1/2 cups of the original cream cheese mixture from other mixing bowl. Mix smaller bowl's ingredients until well blended.

Spoon roughly 1/4 to 1/3 cup alternately from each bowl (the plain cheese cake mix and the chocolate cheese cake mix) into the spring-form pan, and onto the graham cracker crust, continuing to alternate, ending with several scoops of the chocolate mixture in various places around the top of the cake. Swirl through mixture with knife or spatula for marbling effect.

Bake in 450 degree f. oven for about 10 minutes, then, without opening oven, decrease heat to 250 degrees f. and bake for another 30 minutes.

Turn off oven completely, without opening oven door, and leave cheese cake in oven for an additional 30 minutes.

Remove cake from oven, let stand 5-10 minutes, loosen crust around periphery of pan with a butter knife, and let cool for roughly 1 hour on counter, or until thoroughly cooled. Refrigerate cake for at least 3 hours or more, until thoroughly chilled.

Makes 12-16 servings, depending on how narrowly you slice the pieces.

In early celebration of my wife's birthday, we made one of these last night... If you're on a diet, don't make this cake....
