Final Fantasy: Blood Current Tart

My first Final Fantasy recipe and I am so happy it is a Blood Current Tart. This one was so easy and delicious. You'll want to take it on all your travels.


You will need:

1 (9 inch) (23 cm) prepared graham cracker crust 
(I made my own crust with butter and crushed ginger snaps, for a little kick)


1 (8 ounce) (230 g) package cream cheese, softened (If you forgot to let it sit out for an hour, unwrap and place in microwave safe container and nuke it for 15 seconds.)


1/2 cup (100 g) white sugar


2 cups (560 g) frozen whipped topping, thawed


1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling




In a medium mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy.


Fold in whipped topping and blend until mixture is smooth.


(Folding is like gentle alternative to stirring. The whipped topping has had air mixed into it to make it light and fluffy. If you were to stir it or use a mixer is would beat out all the air & turn it watery. You want to mix the two ingredients together without losing the fluffiness.)

Still confused about folding? Click here to see a video explaining it further.

Spread into graham cracker crust and spoon pie filling over top.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill 2 hours before serving.

Westfall Mud Pie

I know you did the new quests out in Westfall. If you honestly haven't yet you must. They explain who the new bosses in Deadmines are and why. It is my favorite questline so far. While doing the quests you will make a Westfall Mud Pie for the quest "Feast of Famine". I can guarantee this one will taste better.

You will need. 

Crust:
2 cup (300 g) crushed oreos
1/2 cup (120 g) butter, softened

For the chocolate pie mix:
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix (Or use this pudding mix recipe)
(Mix according to package directions for pie)
1 cup (150 g) mini chocolate chips



For the fluffyness that is the top:
1 (8 ounce) (230 g) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup (100 g)  confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) cool whip
1 tbs (8 ml) cocoa powder



For the garnish:
1 bag of gummy worms (Just use a few, oh no! You'll have leftover candy. The shame.)

Combine softened butter and Oreos. Stir until ingredients are combined. Press into bottom pie plate or 9x13 inch pan.

Place pudding mix in a medium bowl and whisk in milk. Mix until smooth and stir in mini chips.  Pour onto cookie crust. Garnish with a few worms.

In a large bowl whip softened cream cheese until smooth. 
Beat in confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder until mixture is smooth. 
Then fold cool whip into cream cheese mixture. 
Spread over pudding layer.  
Add gummy worms to top of pie. 
Chill before serving.

um...Yum?!

 Serve chilled in the evenings and watch the ember gold of the fires in Sentinel Hill. Ahhhh, Summer.

Deep Fried Plantains

Yum!

Because I like to use ingredients most people have in their homes or have used before I am going to make this with bananas. Plantains are easily available in most grocery stores but not all. On average most gamer's are more then likely to have a banana or two sitting around. Feel free to substitute plantains in for the bananas in your Deep Fried Plantains.

Here we go!

2 tsp (10 ml) butter
2 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bananas, cut-side down, and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn bananas over, and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more.

1/2 cup (120 ml) water
1 cup (180 g) brown sugar


disolve in a pan over medium heat and stir. Any longer then that it will get hard and turn into caramel. Not a bad thing if your going for carmels but not so good if you want a smooth glaze.

Put two tablespoons of sauce on plate and spread. Place bananas cut side down on sauce. Drizzle with carmel sauce.


Serve plain or with ice cream.


Garnishes are optional: toasted almonds, chocolate chips, marshmellow. Be creative.

Fresh Eagle Meat

BBQ. Nom nom nom nom nom. 

I have a supplier of eagle meat out in Aspine Grove, Grizzly Hills. 

Take four pieces of your favorite fowl. Fresh Eagle Meat (chicken can be used if eagle meat cannot be found) Just don't use Westfall chicken, I don't know what they feed them.

 Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce. I used a honey BBQ glaze. 
Bake at 350 degrees (176 degrees C) for 25 minutes.

Delicious!

Yum! 

Bear steaks

Yum!

 I love bears, they're delicious. I'm partial to brown bears though grey is a close second. Black bears are a bit too gamy for me. Especially the ones around Thalsamar, I think they are getting into the dwarves bad barely.

 Fresh cut bear flanks. I use beef when bear is not available. Yum! From the butcher in Stormwind. Don't these look delicious?

I like how my baking mat actually says "Professional Baking Mat" That's right, that's makes me pro. :)

Pound the steaks for a few minutes. It tenderizes them. Season then with some onions, garlic and whatnot. Whatever you like the best. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Banana Cocktail

Sold all over Azeroth Banana Cocktail's are available to both Horde and Alliance. I serve it non-alcoholic to make this an alcoholic drink add a shot of your favorite rum or 99 Bananas Schnapps. 

You will need the following:
Vanilla wafers
Vanilla Ice Cream
Whipped Topping (can or frozen)
Half and Half  (you can use milk, I like half & half because its thicker. Plus, use extra for your coffee the next morning.)
Banana

Add 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
4 oz of half & half
banana (cut up into pieces)

 Blend well. This is a smoothie maker but a there is no ice so any blender will work fine. This recipe doesn't make a whole lot so if you are entertaining a large amount of people double it or hide it from the Dwarves.

Please drink responsibly, take a flightpath home.

Herb Baked Egg

This recipe is one of the first recipes you get as a new cook. No more boring breakfasts around Ironforge anymore. The dwarves will line up outside bars to get this. (Of course they eat breakfast in bars. Where else would they wake up?)

You will need:


muffin pan
1 egg for each person you are cooking for
1 slice of bread for each person
1 thinly slice of ham or bacon for each person (I cubed up some ham)
butter
shredded cheese
basil


Grease each muffin section with butter or a spray.

Cut each piece of bread into a square and butter it. Make sure the corners point up.
Put each piece of bread into the muffin pan. It will act like a pocket.

It is OK if some of the egg is touching the pan, if you greased it well, it will come right off.




Lay the ham on top of the butter bread.




Crack egg and place on ham. Sprinkle some basil on too and a bit of cheese.

Bake until eggs are set to your liking. Average time is 15 minutes. Give the pan a slight shake, if there is jiggle. Then the egg is no set and will run when you cut it.

Goblin Shortbread

Inexpensive to make & delicious. It does not surprise me that Goblins have made shortbread their own. Even the children from the slums in Orgrimmar can enjoy Goblin Shortbread . For this year's Children's Week, take a box of cookies over to the Cathedral District in Stormwind or the Drag in Orgrimmar.

You will need:

2 cups (480g) butter

1 cup (180g) packed brown sugar

4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C)

Cream butter and brown sugar. 

Add 4 cups (960 ml) flour. Mix well.

Drop by tablespoon into an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.

I flipped one over so you can see how brown they should be on the bottom. The tops will be lightly browned, the camera doesn't pick it up very well. Watch them closely, too brown on top means burnt on the bottom.
