Pinacolada Bars


 I used the coconut milk with extra cream. The cream makes the batter come together better. I would have used chopped macadamia nuts. If you like a different nut you can use it one that goes with tropical fruit.


Ingredients

2 cups pulverized nilla wafers

8-10 Tbsp butter


Filling

2 large eggs

3/4 cup coconut cream with a little of the liquid

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup flour

1 tsp Almond or Hazelnut extract

16 oz crushed pineapple, drained

3/4-1 cup shredded sweetened flake coconut

Mix the nilla wafer crumbs with the butter, heat in microwave at 10 minute intervals, stir until combined. 'the crust should come together and be able to be pressed into a 13x9 inch baking dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes

Whisk together eggs, coconut cream, sugar, almond extract and flour add in pineapple.

Remove baking dish from the oven and pour the filling mixture over the crust.  Sprinkle the coconut flakes over the top.

Return dish to oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Add cherries on top in a pattern if you choose to use them.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
