Got the taste for something sweet

[Tulip]

I'm an anti-sweets person. There's actually no good explanation for why I like hoisin sauce lol.

I'm willing to pick up any ingredients. Don't come with nothing complicated like baklava, but I am open to putting some time into whatever I'm preparing.

Any suggestions?

Uhh looka here now:

Here is a way to cheat on this treat. (I have done this before)

Buy the small pie shells (2” or 3”) from the grocery store…and just add the coconut filling to the shells and bake them for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. And Voila! As the French would say…Gizzadas are ready.

This will save you a great deal of time.

Cool?

Tulip I didn't expect you to make the crust from scratch

Take whatever shortcut needed

Re: Got the taste for something sweet

why yu just dont buy a Pilsbury cinnamon roll in the refrigerated section? Voila!

Re: Got the taste for something sweet

In the grand scheme of things, a cinnamon roll didn't sound like a bad idea. The smell from that store (can't recall the name right now) fills the mall.

However, I wanted to actually bake something. (I cook but I don't hardly ever bake.) The gizzada was so good! Great recommendation Gen.

Maybe I do like sweets but just haven't tried out the kinds that suit me. Perhaps I shouldn't try to pursue researching this any further either lol. (Don't worry Twiney, I got in your fair share too.)

Re: Got the taste for something sweet

You actually made them Tulip

you forgot to post pictures

Re: Got the taste for something sweet

The filling was easy Gen. I was just kind of intimidated about the pastry shell part but once I bought those, it really wasn't hard.

I was slack about taking pictures but next time I cook them, I will definitely take pics.

Re: Got the taste for something sweet

Ok

just so you know, the gizzada crust can be a little harder than the usual &quot;pie crust&quot; (in case you go somewhere else and buy them and try to return them thinking something was wrong with them ohh that would be funny)
