No-Bake Pecan Pie

Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 by Motro

For the bunch of us who love Pecan Pie this Fall but don't have an oven, I've found a No-Bake Pecan Pie recipe, I don't know if it's the best one. If someone has a better idea, do comment!

Chocolate Caramel Pecan Pie (No Bake)

published by Jo Oliver on Sep 12, 2008

This pie is an easy no bake alternative to the traditional chocolate pie. Plus, it is kicked up with the caramel and nuts. The texture is fudge-like.

Ingredients

25 of the little caramels that are in the plastic wrappers
2 Tbsp of whole milk
1 cup of pecans
1 (6 oz) pie crust
1 package of semi sweet baking chocolate
1 carton of Cool whip

Method

Unwrap caramels and place in microwaveable bowl with milk. Heat 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
Remove from microwave and stir in pecans.
Pour mixture into pie crust and spread smooth.
Place chocolate in microwaveable bowl and heat for 1 ½ – 2 minutes, stirring often.
Remove from microwave and whisk in the cool whip until color changes to light brown.
Spread contents over caramel mixture and smooth any lumps.
Refrigerate for 2 hrs.

Godiva Gems

Godiva has given a twist to some of their classics with the introduction of their new Gems line. They've taken they're soft dark and milk chocolate caramels, milk and dark truffles and milk and dark solids and reshaped them into bite-sized and individually wrapped jewelry-shaped pieces that are not only as delicious as they're bigger versions, they're also affordable. A $15 pack of Gems will give you 22 pieces (32 if you're buying solids). And for those of you counting calories, you should know that they're the perfect little temptations (at only 230 Calories per 9 pieces = about 25 calories per gem. It's up to you to be disciplined...)

Finally a solution for those dinner parties, game night (or movie night) or just to drop some in your bag. At some Godiva Boutiques, you can even buy them individually.

Llega el otoño a Godiva

Con el cambio de temporada cambian además las modas, los ánimos, la temperatura, y la comida no es la excepción. Godiva es uno de esas compañías que se reinventa y se adapta a las temporadas, introduciendo productos nuevons y algunos viejos favoritos.

Las trufas de esta temporada en Godiva son la Maple Walnut Truffle (con chocolate blanco y azúcar morena), Cranberry Truffle (chocolate oscuro y crema de cranberry por dentro) y Pecan Pie Truffle (en chocolate de leche, con pedazos de pecans por afuera). Los que visitaron la tienda el mes pasado se llevaron la sorpresa de un Maple Walnut Truffle gratis. Si las quieres regalar, ya vienen en una cajita con decorado de temporada, en diversos tamaños.

Pumpkin Spice Truffle

Además, empezando el 13 de octubre, te puedes llevar otra sorpresa, ya que si compras tres o más piezas del mostrador te regalan la favorita de muchos, el Pumpkin Spice Truffle (con chocolate de leche y canela por afuera), mientras dure la oferta. Parece ser que este otoño predominan los sabores acogedores de nueces, caramelos y canela con los toques sutiles de frutas tradicionales. Es un cambio radical del verano y la primavera, donde la gama era más de frutas tropicales y sabores refrescantes. Con esta línea, la compañía introdujo el Caramel Apple Bark, una barra de chocolate blanco y de leche hecha por los chocolateros en la misma tienda, con pequeños pedazos de manzana caramelizada.

Finalmente, si están en el mood de Halloween y tienen algunas fiestas pendientes, visiten una boutique (Plaza Las Américas, Plaza Carolina) donde van a encontrar algunos productos alusivos a la festividad.

By the way, de qué te vas a disfrazar?...
