Here are a couple treats I made over my thanksgiving visit to Canada. I was determined to make a pumpkin cheesecake, but as our local health food shop never got any plain tofutti cream cheese in, I had to improvise. Instead I created a pumpkin caramel swirl pie with toasted pecans and a graham crust. It was a bit soft for a pie, but definitely the best tasting pumpkin pie I've ever had!!!
My mum celebrated her birthday while I was over, so I created a cupcake in her honor. It's called "The Grand Banana," a chocolate cupcake with a boozy banana flambé center, chocolate ganache, a Grand Marnier buttercream frosting topped with another chunk of banana flambé! My goodness, it was decadent.
