-Make sure you get a thick 10" inch round cake pan that allows you to bake and freeze cakes in.

-half gallon of Vanilla Ice -Cream (softened NOT MELTED)
-1 box of graham cracker crumbs.
-1 tub of keylime cheesecake filling (this is usually in the section where they sell the cream cheese & bagels)
-1 tsp of lemon extract
-2 tsp of lime juice or keylime juice
-1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
-1 10'' inch angel food cake. (or 2 loaves of angel food cake) ( you can make your own or purchase one already made)

Slice angel food cake in half and place one half in bottom of large cake pan. set aside.
In a large bowl with a large spoon, mix- ice cream, condensed milk, lime juice, lemon extract, cheesecake filling ( one at a time) until well blended. add 2 cups of the graham cracker crumbs last and mix until blended. spread mixture on top of cake half in pan. Place the 2nd half of cake on top of mixture. continue to layer until mixture and cake is in pan, the last layer should always be the ice-cream. Add remaining graham cracker crumbs on top of ice cream. Wrap 2 layers of plastic wrap over cake and 2 layers of foil on top of plastic wrap. tightly. Place in freezer for at least 4 hours if eating the same day. Or place in freezer over night if eating the next day.

Continue to keep cake stored in freezer to remain fresh. Recipe should last you at least 2 weeks. Depending on how much you eat! LOL :)

I apologize for the delay in writing. Sometimes it's hard to get the free time over here. I'll start out with a small dessert recipe that I thought of when I was in Kuwait. I love cream pies and the dining facility had cream pies but I had a hankering for something with a slight tart. I made this the first time for Thanksgiving in 2006. It's simple so I hope you enjoy. It's been a hit since day one of making it.

Fuit Cream Pie
1- nilla wafer crust
(you can use store bought or make your own as I
do)
1 large box of banana cream pudding
1 banana sliced
1/4 cup coconut
(I prefer shaved)
2Tbsp butter
1Tbsp brown sugar
layer the bottom of your pie crust with the bananas. Mix your banana cream pudding per directions on the box, and pour it in to the pie crust. As soon as you do that in a small sauce pan melt the butter but don't brown it. Add your brown sugar and coconut and just slightly roast. Spoon mixture out onto pie filling. Allow to cool and start your meringue.

Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tarta
1 fresh lime juiced no sweetener

Start your meringue by beating your egg whites until stiff. Slowly add your sugar until you've used about half, and inter mix lime juice and rest of sugar until your meringue is good and stiff. Ring the meringue around the outside edge of your pie. If you have a chefs torch slightly toast the top of your meringue. Or place in your oven on broil for 10 seconds.

The topping

1 small can of mandarin oranges
1 small can of fruit coctail

Now you take the mandarin oranges and ring them around the inside of the meringue, Drain and rinse the fruit coctail and place inside the ring of oranges. You can put some Cool Whip (or not) on the fruit and serve.


I really hope you enjoy.

Welcome,David!!!

I,m very intrested in the types of experimentig dishes you make please share.

Good morning everyone,and thank you for the invite. I am a QA/QC inspector for power generation in Iraq. I am from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have been over here since Sep of 07. The one thing I miss most of all being over here is being able to cook in my own kitchen and expermenting on new dishes. I don't cook out of premixes and canned foods, I have always tried to use fresh foods. However I do use boxed mixes when making certain deserts. Again thank you, Dave
