| An ultra thin ginger snap smothered with hot pastry cream serves as the "crust." |
While I love to bake a pie as much as the next woman (more than most, I'd guess), I also like nearly instant desserts that are luscious and don't wear out the soles of your trainers. (Like after you've cooked for company all day and still need dessert.) I have a pocketful of favorites like a 30-second pumpkin custard (it'll be in my soup book) and a blink-done individual chocolate flourless "cake." I also have no-bake favorites like a strawberry ice cream parfait layered with crumbled ginger shortbread and fresh peaches. In cases of real emergencies, I buy ice cream and cones--and not just for the kids.
