    this is a desert, so don't know where you want to put this...
    FRESH STRAWBERRY TART

    2 T butter
    2 Cups miniature marshmallows
    2 1/2 cups rice krispies
    1 cup whipping cream
    1 pint fresh strawberries
    1 (3 1/2- ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
    1 1/4 cups milk
    1 tsp. almond extract

    1) Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows, heating until marshmallows are melted, stirring frequently.
    2) Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in cereal until well - mixed.
    3) Pat mixture in an oiled 9-inch pie pan. (it helps to rub your hands with a little oil or butter)
    4) Beat pudding mix, milk, whipping cream, and extract together at high speed for 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spoon the mixture into the cereal crust. Refrigerate for at least 3 hrs. Just before serving, wash strawberries and remove stems. Gently press strawberries stem side down into cream filling. ( I cut the strawberries in half and press them down).

  2. BREAD Pudding!

    There is a restaurant in Tuscaloosa that has the most amazing bread pudding so they put it up the recipe and I tried it, it was awesome. Of course i tweaked it some but it was still amazing.

    The Cypress Inn's Bread Pudding With Whiskey Glaze

    Bread Pudding Custard
    1 cup sugar
    4 eggs
    2 pints heavy cream
    1 pint milk
    1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup margarine
    Yeast rolls (white bread), as needed
    ****(I USED A CAN OF PILLSBERRY ROLLS AND PINCHED THEM OFF-WAS REALLY GOOD)

    In a bowl, cream together margarine and sugar. Add eggs, cream, milk and vanilla. Mix and add the cinnamon. Using Cypress Inn rolls (or white bread), tear bread or rolls into 1-inch pieces and place into a 9x12 baking pan at least ½ inch deep. Pour custard over bread and allow to soak for 10 minutes. Custard should not exceed ¾ of pan.
    Bake in 350 degree oven until bread and custard rises and a toothpick comes out clean. About 20-25 minutes.

    Whiskey Sauce
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1 cinnamon stick
    1 teaspoon butter, unsalted
    1 teaspoon corn starch
    1/4 cup bourbon
    1/4 cup cold water

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon stick, and butter.
    Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch and cold water together and add to the boiling sauce to thicken. Continue to stir until the sauce is clear. Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon.
    Serve bread pudding in a bowl hot, topped with hot whiskey sauce.

    IT WAS SO GOOD!
