Pardon my Eno................. for the last couple of weeks I have been writting down recipes out of this thread...and am yet to contribute...although its a little tough as theres alot thats been covered in here...so thought I would add a couple I use to make when I was young...and that was a few moons ago now! I hope someone out there wants to try it!

OOh'by the way,I made the Choc raspberry slice a couple of hours ago along with Ma Higgins choc cookies and both are a great tribute to the donors of these to this thread...Choc slice is yummy,but the cookies are divine...Thanks heaps!

Cheats Cheesecake This was posted a while back and I made it with fresh'n'fruity dreamy lemon yoghurt and I put coconut aroudn the edge. It was so nice adn without the calories of cream cheese......
Crush a packet of wine biscuits.
Add melted butter (about 5 Tbsp) enough to bind it together. Press into a pie dish. Dissolve 1 tablespoon gelatine in half a cup of hot water allow to cool. Add this to a bowl containing 1kg fruit yoghurt (any flavour) and 1/2 cup of icing sugar, beat till thick. Pour over the biscuit base and chill till set about 30 mins.

Just thought I'd chip in on this wonderful thread and ask if anyone has a good recipe for coconut macaroons? I've tried several recipes but they are all so sweet (probably just me because I always cut down the sugar in recipes!) and turn out flat and chewy!! Anyway if anyone has a tried and true recipe they would like to share I'd love to hear it! Thanks.

I made Jo Segar's mini pecan pies and Yummy Mummy cake (which I posted earlier here).
BABY PECAN PIES (makes 16)125g butter, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup icing sugar, 1 cup pecans, 60g butter melted, 1 egg, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla essence.
Place 125g butter, flour and icing sugar in a food processor and run machine until the pastry clumps together in a ball. Divide into 16 balls and with floured hands press the pastry into the bases and up the sides of non-stick (or well greased) mini muffin tins. Pastry will set quite firm and hard and you bake it cold like this. Divide the pecans between the chilled pastry cases breaking the nuts as required. Mix melted butter, egg, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth and "gluey" spoon or pour carefully over the nuts. Do not over fill each little pie.
Bake in a preheated oven 180°C for 20 - 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the filling puffed and crisp. Cool in the mini muffin tins for a few minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Give each pie a little twist around to loosen th
