Recipe: Oreo Pie Crust

Image
 This is a handy one. You can use this for all kinds of no-bake pie recipes where a chocolate crust is just what you need. Oreo Pie Crust: 22 Oreo (or similar) cookies (250g) 1/3 cup (71g) melted butter Crush cookies any way you prefer to get them to fine crumbs. A food processor works well here, but you can also use a rolling pin on a plastic bag full of cookies, or a mortar and pestle if you prefer. But you should end up with about 2 good cups of fine Oreo crumbs.  Stir in the melted butter. Mixture will be quite thick and wet.  Press the cookie crumb mixture into your baking dish.  Bake at 350°F or 180°C for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool before using in any no-bake recipe.

Recipe: Yogurt, Fruit and Granola Parfait

Image
 It's summer and I wanted something easy, light and, preferably, cold. I came up with this one. Fruit and Granola Yogurt Parfait: 4-6 tbsp small fruit (like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries cut into small pieces, or any other fruit in small pieces) 1 1/2 cups (380g) plain yogurt or quark 2-3 tbsp honey 1 cup (120g) granola In a clear glass or crystal bowl, spoon in small fruit until it covers the bottom of the bowl.  Spoon in plain yogurt to cover the fruit.  Drizzle honey over the yogurt.  Sprinkle granola over the yogurt until it covers the yogurt.  Repeat the whole layers again: fruit, yogurt, honey and granola.    Serve immediately. This is what it looks like stirred, if you so choose.   Otherwise, it's gorgeous with the visible layers through the glass bowl. It tastes amazing. It has just the right amount of sweetness. It can be a hearty breakfast or healthy dessert. Watch us make this gorgeous recipe on our YouTube channel here: https:...
