Subject: Boiled Custard using Dream Whip
A friend is looking for a boiled custard recipe that her Gramma
made that used Dream Whip dessert topping mix in it. Can you help?
Thanks!
Hi Diane,
I could not find any boiled custard recipes using Dream Whip, but I did find recipes using Cool Whip.
I would think this would be very close. They are below.

Hi Regina,
Well, I'm afraid I must disappoint. I've searched everywhere on the web that
I can think of, and through the databases of recipes we have, but I can only
find five butter kuchen recipes that don't have almonds, and none calls for
a round pan. I'll send them anyway, they sound rather interesting. After
all, you can put them into any shape pan you want...

salty.
--------------------
Butterkuchen
Buttery Butter Cake
This cake is appropriately named because its star ingredient is
butter - in both the base and its rich, crunchy topping. Try this version.
If you really want to boost the buttery-ness, use Plugra, a heavier
fat-content butter made by Kellers, in place of the butter.
Beware: This cake is full of artery clogging fat and high calories.
But only one slice is necessary to satiate a butter-sweet fix.
It's extremely filling.
Dough:
1-1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (115 degrees F.)
4-3/4 to 5 cups flour, divided
1/4 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
2-1/2 sticks of melted butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 dash of salt
Topping:
2-1/2 to 3 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Dissolve yeast in milk and mix in 2-1/2 cups of flour. Cover and let rest
for 30 minutes in warm place. Add the remaining flour, sugar, egg yolks,
melted butter, lemon juice, and salt. Knead well. The dough should be soft
and pliable. Let rest for additional 20 minutes.
Spread dough out on large greased (use butter) cookie sheet. Let dough rise
again. Thinly slice unsalted butter sticks and place slices on top of dough.
Mix sugar and vanilla and sprinkle over the dough. Preheat oven to 400
degrees F. Put in the middle of the oven, and bake for about 25 minutes.
Note:
Use only unsalted butter for the topping or cake will be salty.
Note II:
For a fluffier cake, place loaf pan filled with hot water in the bottom of
the oven while baking.

Butterkuchen (Yeast Butter Cake)
List of Ingredients
4 cups cake or bread flour
40 grams fresh or 4-1/2 tsp. dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
pinch of salt
Topping 1:
about 3/4 cup butter
1 cup less 3 tbsp. sugar
cinnamon
Topping 2:
200 grams butter
200 grams sugar
300 grams flour
Recipe
This is a very common cake in Germany.It freezes very well.
Directions:
Put flour, sugar, soft butter, yeast (if using fresh yeast dissolve
it in milk first),salt and eggs in a large bowl, add milk. Knead
(I would use dough hooks of a hand mixer as the dough is pretty soft)
until a soft, elastic but not too sticky dough forms, 4 minutes or so.
Let dough rise in a warm place for about one hour.
Roll out on a greased, floured baking sheet and - if using topping 1 -
prick holes in it with your fingertips.Fill each hole with a dot of
butter and sprinkle the whole cake with cinnamon-sugar. While preheating
oven to 350° let rise another 20 minutes.Put in oven and bake 20-25
minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Best eaten warm!
For topping 2 make Streusel by mixing all ingredients until crumbly.
I use to make streusel in my food processor, fitted with the metal blade,
that works fine and you don't have greasy fingers.

I am looking for a chocolate cake recipe that my aunt used to make.
We all loved this cake and it was always part of family celebrations.
She would never give out the recipe because she had promised her
mother-in-law (from North Dakota) who gave her the recipe that she
would never reveal the 'secret' ingredient. Unfortunately she was
killed in an automobile accident before she could pass the recipe on
to her daughters. All of us (17 cousins) have been trying to duplicate
this cake and have not been successful.
Do you know of any 'secret' ingredient that would go into a chocolate
sheet cake and it's frosting?
Thank you,
Kate

Subject: Cream Cheese mints
I am looking for a recipe for cream cheese mints to be pressed in
a flower mold for weddings, showers, etc. I made these about 20
years ago and my nephew has asked me to make them for his wedding.
I know it has cream cheese, powdered sugar, mint flavoring and food
coloring. I just don't remember the proportions. I still have the
rose mold and really need this recipe. Thanks for your help.
Jean
Hi Jean,
As usual, there are a dozen or so recipes, each just slightly different. Below is a sampling that should cover all bases.
Phaed
Cream Cheese Mints
Makes about 3 dozen mints
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2-1/2 to 3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon mint extract or 4 to 6 drops peppermint oil
6 drops green or red food coloring
1 cup superfine sugar for coating
1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until softened.
Slowly add 1-1/2 cups of the confectioners' sugar. Beat in the
mint extract and food coloring until well blended. Add the
remaining confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup at a time until a soft
dough is formed.
2. Turn onto a counter or board dusted with confectioners' sugar
and knead the dough for 5 minutes. (Add more confectioners'
sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too soft and
sticky.)
3. With your hands, roll tablespoonsful of the dough into balls,
then roll each ball into superfine sugar. Flatten the balls
slightly into patties.
4. The sugared mint balls can also be pressed into candy molds. The
coating of superfine sugar will allow them to release easily from
the molds. Adjust the amount of dough used for each mint according
to the shape and size of the mold you choose.
5. Store the mints in layers, separated by wax paper, in an airtight
container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
---------------------------------------------------
Cream Cheese Mints
1 8oz block of cream cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 2lb package of powdered sugar
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
6 drops of red food coloring
more powdered sugar
Cook cream cheese and butter in a saucepan over low heat,
stirring constantly until smooth. Gradually stir in
package of powdered sugar; stir in extract. If desired,
divide mixture into 2 portions, stir 2 drops of coloring
into one portion and 4 drops into other portion. You will
get different shades of pink, red and white if you chose
not to color. Shape mixture into 1 inch balls. Dip a 2
inch round cookie stamp or a glass bottom into powdered
sugar. Press each ball until flattened somewhat. Let stand,
uncovered until firm. Freeze if you like.
