It
was pointed out to slave that lately some elaborate recipes have been
posted. So perhaps it is time to get back to simple, simple, great
tastes!
The
other day as slave was wondering through the store, it found the most
fantastic display. Fresh Michigan Blueberries! Oh My does my Master
love blueberries! Now slave believes that perhaps the Florida
blueberries might be considered sweeter. However the Michigan variety
just has the nicer balance for my Master's tastes.
This
dish is a derivative of the “Old Icebox Cake” from the 30's that
slave has presented elsewhere on this blog. It is so simple to make
and the results will surprise you at the way they change from what
you put into it.
Ingredients:
1
pint of fresh blueberries
1
pkg of 8 UNFROSTED
brown sugar & cinnamon toaster pastry tarts
1
pkg (4 servings) instant pudding mix, no sugar added (I used
Cheesecake flavor but plain vanilla works just fine.
1½
cups cold skim milk
1
8oz. Frozen whipped topping – thawed out!
*Note:
this recipe works great with any store brand of the above! Just make
sure the “tarts” are UNFROSTED
Directions:
Rinse
your blueberries well and spread on paper towels to dry out.
This
gives you a chance to pick out any you don't like the look of and
snap off any tiny stems that might still be attached.
In
an 8 x 8 cake pan, baking dish or any other such dish, lay out a
single layer of the “tarts”. Cut any to fit the pan completely.
Mix
the pudding mix as directed on box EXCEPT only use 1½ cups of milk
not the full 2 cups. Once mixed, carefully FOLD in half of the thawed
topping. You don't want to beat it – it will lose its fluffiness!
Spread
out the blueberries over the layer of “tarts”. With a spatula,
spread the pudding mixture over to completely cover. This is
important for the magic to work.
Lay
another layer of “tarts” across the top, then cover and seal with
the second half of the reserved plain topping. Again, be sure to
seal the top.
Cover
the dish with an airtight covering and place in the refrigerator
overnight. This is where the magic happens. Not only will the
flavors blend, but the pudding will soften the pastries which in turn
flavor the pudding. If anything it is even better on the third day,
slave thinks, but rarely has any lasted that long!
This
does not have to be a desert full of guilt either. Use fat free and
no sugar added and the results, will be downright healthy. With all
of those anti oxidants and vitamins that are packed in the
blueberries and the extra vitamins stuffed into the pastries. Plus
this entire dessert cost less than $5 to make! Less if you get the
generic brands – which taste just as good in this dessert.
Anyway
slave is sure that you will enjoy this surprising taste which is
greater than the sum of its parts!
No
words express how happy I am to be Master Indy's slave. To be able to
create something so unique to His tastes makes me feel so lucky! This might appear to be just a simple little thing that was thrown together, but it is filled with all of the love and caring that slave can give.
