TWD - Double Corn Tomato Crisp


This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Double Corn Tomato Crisp. It comprises a corn and tomato filling, covered with a crisp cornmeal crust.


It really is very tasty, and the crisp cornmeal crust is a revelation.

TWD - Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie


 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie (phew, quite a mouthful).


For me, the “no bake” part wasn’t quite true as I opted to bake a chocolate crust for my pie. 


The pie crust (which can be made with crushed biscuits for the “no bake” option) is lined with ganache, then halved fresh strawberries, then covered with a white chocolate cheesecake filling.


I made the ganache using chocolate and Greek yoghurt instead of cream. I still had to buy cream to whip for the filling (darn it!), but replaced the sour cream with more Greek yoghurt . It worked a treat.

I had to buy cream, cream cheese and white chocolate to make this pie, which made it an expensive recipe despite my use of yoghurt that I already had and making the pie crust instead of using crushed biscuits. For this reason, although the end product is tasty, it will not be returning in my house.
