Copycat O’Charley’s Caramel Pie

When the warm months roll in, there’s an undeniable craving for a refreshing, chilled dessert, and this caramel pie is an absolute winner. Drawing inspiration from the renowned caramel pie of O’Charley’s restaurants, this pie exudes the rich essence of caramel, lightness of whipped cream, and the crunch of pecans, all topped with delectable chocolate bits. Whether you’re a dessert enthusiast or someone with a moderate sweet tooth, this pie promises to captivate your senses.
While there’s an adventurous few who tread the path of crafting homemade dulce de leche from sweetened condensed milk cans, it’s a path fraught with risks. Not only does it demand meticulous attention for 3 hours, ensuring the cans remain submerged in water to prevent potential explosions, but the end product might also lack the desired texture or taste.
Thankfully, there’s a hassle-free alternative. Simply procure canned dulce de leche from your local store, often located alongside condensed milk. This delight, resembling a dense caramel sauce, gains the perfect consistency upon refrigeration.
Embarking on this recipe, you can opt for a store-bought graham cracker crust or venture into crafting one. For a homemade touch, mix 1 1/2 cups of finely ground graham crackers with 6 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/3 cup of sugar. Mold this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and bake at 350˚ for 10 minutes. Let it cool before proceeding with the filling.

How To Make Spinach and Cheese Enchiladas

Growing up, I seldom remember my dad donning the chef’s hat since my mom was the culinary enthusiast. However, there’s one dish that distinctly stands out from my childhood: enchiladas. For reasons unknown, whenever mom was away, it was enchiladas night, courtesy of dad. And thank heavens, because his version was absolutely scrumptious.
Back in the day, dad’s classic recipe usually revolved around ground beef or chicken. But as I’ve grown older, my palate craves innovative vegetarian delights. The thought of fusing spinach with cheese inside an enchilada sounded like an irresistible idea, reminiscent of the creamy richness of spinach dip. The result? Absolutely heavenly. Despite the generous serving this recipe offers, we managed to devour the entire batch in just a couple of days.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 12 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • Juice from half a lime

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 can (4.5 oz) green chiles, chopped

  • 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups hot water

For the Inner Glory: The Filling

How To Make Butter Pecan Cookies ?

Maybe it’s just me, but I think butter pecan is an underrated ice cream flavor. Quite often overlooked and running with the “boring” pistachio and rum raisin ice cream crowd. For the record, I love all three of these ice cream flavors! And that’s exactly why I made today’s cookie recipe. They’re salty, they’re sweet, and they’re rich with butter flavor.

If it’s not their chewy edges, soft centers, and buttery flavor– it’s the toasted pecans that make these cookies so incredible. The toasty, nutty flavor of these pecans is crucial to their flavor. If you’ve never toasted nuts before adding them to a recipe, you are missing out. With toasted nuts, the flavor is 84573849% better. I actually did the calculation yesterday; it’s really that much better.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 7 tablespoons. unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • a pinch of salt
  • Pecan halves at the top of each cookie

Triple Crust Peach Cobbler

Peach cobbler is a timeless dessert that has graced dinner tables for generations. But when it comes to the Triple Crust Peach Cobbler, it’s an elevation of the traditional dish. Here’s why:

  1. Layers upon Layers: The main difference lies in the crust. As the name suggests, the Triple Crust Peach Cobbler has three separate layers of crust. This results in a flaky, buttery explosion with every bite, offering a unique texture and mouthfeel.
  2. Visual Appeal: With its unique layering technique, this type of cobbler presents an aesthetically pleasing dish. When done right, it can look like a meticulously crafted pastry, making it perfect for impressing guests.
  3. Flavor Profile: Having more crust means there’s more opportunity for the buttery and flaky goodness to mingle with the sweet peach filling. This amplifies the overall richness of the dish.
  4. A Bit of a Challenge: Crafting a Triple Crust Peach Cobbler does require a bit more skill and patience than the regular variety. The process of layering and ensuring each crust cooks perfectly can be daunting for some but rewarding for many.
  5. Variety in Every Bite: With the additional crusts, each bite offers a different experience. One bite might be extra flaky, while another could be super juicy.
  6. A Spin on Tradition: For those who love the original peach cobbler but are looking to try a different take on it, this dish is an excellent choice. And if you’re looking for other unique twists on the classic, check out these Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls!
