Smores Frozen Custard !!!!

For those of you not aware, a smore is two graham cracker squares with a roasted marshmallow and appropriately-sized chocolate square, where you take the roasted marshmallow hot off the fire, put the chocolate on top so it melts, and squish the whole thing between the grahams.

Now available as ice cream D:

Spoiler! :

Ingredients: (makes about a quart after churning)

• 16 fl oz (480ml) half-and-half (aka "half cream" or any milk product with ~12.5% butterfat)
• 4 egg yolks (no whites, pls)
• 1/2 cup sugar (60ml) white sugar
• 32 2.5"x2.5" (6.35cm x 6.35cm) graham cracker squares
• 16 campfire marshmallows
• 16 milk chocolate squares roughly the size to fit the grahams
• 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla
• 1 tsp (5ml) salt

Preparation:

• 24 hours in advance, get an ice cream churn good and cold as per the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have a churn, go buy one! D: If you have a stand mixer, you can do a pretty good job of churning, but you need to keep the bowl very very very cold.
• Pulverize the graham cracker squares into graham cracker dust. I did this in two batches by putting half the squares in a plastic baggie, sealing it tight, and smashing them with a mallet.
• Break the chocolate into fine pieces as well, as smaller chocolate bits melt faster and more smoothly.
• Prepare to get your hands messy! Roast the marshmallows -- for the best all-around roastedness, use your oven or toaster oven, putting several marshmallows at once on a skewer and minding them at all times; as one side becomes brown, rotate the marshmallows so another surface is exposed to the oven coils. You're going for brown (not black) all over, or at least on about 66% of the 'mallow. When finished roasting, leave the marshmallows to cool, and remove from skewer. Try not to burn your fingers doing this, but rest assured, your fingers will probably get burnt a bit as the marshmallows' innards are semi-liquefied.

Making the base:

• Combine dairy, egg yolks, marshmallows, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a pot on your stove and heat to a simmer. The marshmallows will slowly melt into the base, but may require some agitation from your spatula.
• When (most of) the marshmallow is melted, add the graham powder and crushed chocolate and stir until very well incorporated -- the mixture should be really thick, like a hot custard, chocolatey, smell of roasted marshmallow, and the graham should have dissolved thoroughly.
• Remove mixture from heat and store in the refridgerator for at least 8 hours -- whole mixture needs to be chilled (not freezing) thoroughly.
• Pour into churn according to manufacturer's instructions -- this mixture is super thick for an ice cream base, so it may require some ladling.

Enjoy! I'd post pictures of the one I made, but it all got eaten really quickly. =_=;

Pack of cheap ass ramen noodles.

Seasonings (I went with a dash of hot sauce, a sprinkle of hot pepper flakes, salt and pepper, some sort of italian spices and a dash of italian salad dressing)

Add the Sauce and dash of milk and let simmer.
Cook the noodles, then drain
Serve the noodles in a bowl and top it off with the sauce you made.
Enjoy.

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Sounds good except for the onion and hot sauce, don't like those things. Guess I'll have to make up for it with MOAR GARLIC!

[Milo_Windby]

Seasonings are totally up to you, so if you don't want hot sauce or onions then its no big deal.

[SMWasder]

This needs more student recipes.

You will need:
One red onion
Bacon (preferably as thick as you can get)
Creme fraiche
Paprika (or other spices I guess, if you want)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper

Chop up yer veg, and cut the bacon into strips. Fry everything and mix it well. Eat.

Hey, I'm a middle class student! I just chuck stuff in a frying pan and see what happens, I found this is good. Also, baked beans with reggae reggae sauce.

[Milo_Windby]

I have (Or had) a magnet for my fridge that said "Real men don't need/use recipes!"

[Sti_Jo_Lew]

Lol, that's how I usually do things. Grab a slab of beef or some shrimp, put a few random spices I hope will taste good together, then throw it on the barbeque. That or I just deep fry things.

Jakeman214's Easy Apple Crumble!

INGREDIENTS!
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
1/2 cup of Rolled Oats
1/2 cup of Dessicated Coconut
1/2 cup of Plain Flour.
Tablespoon of butter
300g (medium) Can of tinned apples OR 3 freshly peeled, cored and sliced apples. Pears, peaches and fruit salad (Canned or fresh!) work just as well for great variations!

INSTRUCTIONS!
1. Melt butter in a large mixing bowl in ya microwave.
2. Whilst the butter is melting, take a pie dish around 20cm/8 inches in diameter and put your apple in it so it is a smooth layer.
3. Take mixing bowl with melted butter. Add Flour, Coconut, Oats and Sugar. Mix well and until it becomes an even mix.
4. Evenly spread the crumble mix over the apple.
5. Chuck it in a microwave on high for 5 minutes, or an oven at 180 degrees Celcius for 10 minutes.
6. Let it rest, then dish up with Custard, Ice Cream or Fruit Salad!

And that is how you create an easy and awesome desert within 10 minutes! I usually make it just as dinner is finishing cooking and chuck in the microwave/oven so it finishes halfway through dinner, and is just about the right temperature to serve up right after.

[Nutmegan]

Same of these sound great, some made me laugh... a lot. I'm still wiping the tears away.

I usually just cook with my stomach and don't use many recipes which makes giving them to other people difficult sometimes. Here's an easy one that I really like for those "Oh heck I was supposed to bring something for the pot luck tonight!" moments.

Creamed Corn:

1 large bag (family size) of frozen corn
1 stick of butter (1/4 lb)
1 regular size box of cream cheese (8oz)

Melt the butter and cream cheese over medium heat, add corn and heat until warm. Turn heat to low and cover for about 20min.

Thanks for sharing all the fun recipes.

I love this thread and have always wanted to post. I will post about some staples I keep for cooking, that add a little something to about everything we make at our house.

What sorta cooking staples do you always use?

1. Mongolian Fire Oil http://www.farawayfoods.com/fireoil.html

2. Morton's Nature's Seasoning
http://www.netgrocer.com/pd/Morton/Seas ... c=gproduct

3. Dehydrated onion flakes and dehydrated green onions

4. jasmine rice, new crop for that year (we get a 20 lb bag each year in Feb/March at the Asian Market)

5. Celery and Carrots good in everything

6. A variety of dried pasta and noodles

7. Red sauce and white sauce, canned

8. Broth and soup stock (canned and in freezer)

And we keep a lot of various condiments like Guardineirra, sweet pickles, pepperoncini peppers, italian dressing, ranch dressing and BBQ sauce, pickle slices, and a variety (like 4 kinds!) of mustards, like dijon, hot, sweet, spicy brown, yellow....

Fun Fact: We hate ketchup and don't allow it in our house or on our table.

[arigatou]

As a Bain Marie, do not use a plastic bowl, melt chocolate. Strong melt the plastic load, rather than the end.

I'm sorry... what?

[vallorn]

As a Bain Marie, do not use a plastic bowl, melt chocolate. Strong melt the plastic load, rather than the end.

i think its
When using a Bain Marie, dont use a plastic bowl to melt the chocolate. the heat melts the plastic rather than the chocolate.

on a side note... my sister once did exactly this. we still have the disk of plastic and molten/burnt chocolate we found at the bottom of the pan...

[Wildwill002]

Sorry for bumping this and necro'ing but I did it for 2 reasons

1. The recipes here are really awesome and need to be shared
2. I'm making something course meal for my better halves birthday and brownies for Valentines day (I lost the recipe)

Again, sorry, but please continue the thread

[LS13]

I remember reading this thread and deciding the instructions by arigatou were probably the best I've ever seen before.
