still trying to decide.... i may just have to make a tincture first, because the first thing that comes to mind is creme brulee and you can't put butter in that....

damn my post got deleted, your lucky i love food.

ok so you can try recipe #3 of my cook book thread which is a great recipe. You can substitue prawns or lobster if you wish

if your feeling adventerous then I have a recipe for you.

go too all recipes and find a recipe for sweet dough or sweet pasta dough.

you will need 1 recipe pasta dough cut into 12 2' squares
cream cheese or mascarpone if you can get it
strawberry pie topping.
1 recipe prepared Creme' Anglaise about 10 mins ahead of time.
Mix all the cheese and filling together untill well incorporated. Its better to process so it breaks up the strawberries a bit.

flour your surface and place 6 of the squares down in a row. Pipe in about a nickle sized dollop of the filling onto the pasta. Now take the other 6 pieces of pasta and place them on top and crimp the edges with a fork. (make sure they are sealed correctly or they will leak) Get a pan with some oil going and fry these untill they are golden brown.

I promise if you take you time and do it right you will be in desert heaven. serve with a small scoop of vanilla gelato.

at what point would i add the vanilla beans? you have to take the pods out at some point right? (i'm pretty ambitious but my freezer is waaaaay too full for me to start making ice creams right now ;))
