Banana Toffee Sauce Pastries





You'll Need:



* 1 Package Pepperidge Farm Pastry Shells

* 1 Stick Real Butter

* 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

* 1/2 tsp. Vanilla

* 3 TBSP. Heavy Whipping Cream

* 5-6 Ripe Bananas, thinly sliced

* Powdered sugar (optional, not needed)



Bake the pastry shells for 15 minutes at 400', cool.

Do this on a cookie sheet that's lightly greased.

While they are cooking, make the sauce.



Put the butter in a saucepan on medium heat.

Whisk in the brown sugar and vanilla.

Simmer carefully about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat, and whisk in the whipping cream.

Add banana slices.

If you want, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top.



When the pastry puffs cool, remove the lids and fill with sauce. These are delicious warm, or, at room temperature.
Photo shown are banana pastries made with P. Farm pastry sheet instead of the puffs. The puffs are just easier and prettier!

Gingersnap Pumpkin Cheesecake

This pumpkin cheesecake with caramel topping and a gingersnap crust is worth the little bit of trouble it will cause you! I know, this is a long one but it's for Thanksgiving. (Or you could always beat up a Village Inn pie a little and put it in your own pie plate!)



CRUST:
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup crushed ginger snaps
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
FILLING:
2 pounds cream cheese
15 ounce can pumpkin
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 eggs
caramel sauce and cool whip for topping


Directions:

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Generously butter entire inside of springform pan. Allow cream cheese to soften and reach room temperature. Allow eggs to reach room temperature.

CRUST: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, crushed ginger snaps, finely chopped pecans, sugar and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom and up approximately 1½ inches on the sides of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before adding filling.


FILLING: Mix together flour and spices, set aside. Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add sugar to cream cheese and beat an additional 1 minute . In a small bowl, blend together flour mixture, pumpkin, and vanilla. When completely blended, add to cream cheese mixture. Beat in eggs, one at a time, on low speed. Beat just enough to blend each egg.

Pour pumpkin mixture into completely cooled crust. Fill a 9"x13" pan half full with water. Place the pan with the water on the bottom rack of the oven. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack. The moisture in the oven helps prevent deep cracking of cheesecake.
Bake 1 hour and 35 minutes(do NOT open the door during the first hour of baking. Turn oven off, open the door, and leave cheese cake in oven for an additional 30 minutes to cool. Remove from oven and cool for another 30 minutes.
Cover and chill a minimum of 3 hours.

Pecan Toffee Grahams



These are my personal favorite treats. I don't really like chocolate, and don't eat sweet things that often. There are certain things I can't control myself with. These are one of those things, and my 4 minute toffee fudge is another.
You need:
1 Box Graham Crackers
2 Sticks Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Bag Heath Toffee Bits
1/2 Cup Pecan Chips

Preheat Oven to 325'
Line a lg buttered cookie sheet with graham crackers
Melt 2 Sticks Butter w/ 1 Cup Brown Sugar in a saucepan
Simmer 2 minutes
Pour over Graham Crackers
Sprinkle with Pecan Chips and Toffee Bits
Bake 10 minutes, remove and cool
(They will harden after about 1/2 hour)
Once they are cool, take them off the cookie sheet or they will stick
Keep them in a tupperware or foil
***ALERT! I just made these with the Honeymaid Gingerbread flavored graham crackers, and crushed cashews instead of toffee bits and pecans, and you need to try these right away! I think they're better like this. When you take them out of the oven, they will be soggy and boiling. Let them cool for about 40 minutes, then remove them to foil or other container with a spatula.
