Raspberry Cheesecake Tart – Yoplait Swap

November 27, 2011 By 1 Comment

I needed a last minute dessert the other day and I needed to finally step up and make a Yoplait recipe instead of sending you to another bloggers site again.

I was perusing the Yoplait site to get some ideas and came across the Lemon Blueberry Tart.  I immediately knew I could switch that up and make it a Raspberry Cheesecake Tart and headed off to the store.  If I had any brain at all I wouldn’t have forgotten to get the last ingredient (fresh raspberries) and the dessert would have turned out much prettier.  But even without the fresh, it received rave reviews from all who tasted it.

 

Ingredients

1 box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
2 containers (6 oz each) Yoplait® Light Raspberry Cheesecake Yogurt
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (21 oz) Raspberry pie filling
1 cup fresh raspberries

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll 1 crust onto ungreased large cookie sheet. Unroll second pie crust over first crust, matching edges and pressing to seal. With rolling pin, roll out into 14-inch round.
2. Fold 1/2 inch of crust edge under, forming border; press to seal seam. If desired, flute edge. Prick crust generously with fork.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4. In medium bowl, beat yogurt and cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Spread evenly over cooled baked crust. Spread pie filling evenly over yogurt mixture. Top with raspberries. Cut into wedges to serve. Store in refrigerator.

Safety Bowl

Super Bowl Sunday – a day when 62 percent of grill owners fire-up their grills for the big game – is fast approaching. More home parties take place on Super Bowl Sunday than almost any other day of the year; the average size of a party is 17 people. And, with more guests comes a greater risk for injuries and accidents.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a 115-year old product safety organization, would love to share with you its Super Bowl party safety playbook for moms:

· Don’t let an unexpected touchdown dance knock over the TV. Overly excited fans are a given on Super Bowl Sunday. Make sure your TV and entertainment center are safely mounted.

· Illegal formation: don’t plug too many cords into an outlet. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for the device(s) you will be using on power strips. Plugging in too many products into an outlet or power strip may cause a power outage or a fire.

· Tackle grilling outside. Make sure the designated griller keeps his/her cooking outdoors. Grilling in garages, carports or even inside the house is extremely dangerous. It could not only cause a fire, but also be a risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

· Stand by your pan. Stay in the kitchen while food is cooking. Most fires in the kitchen occur because food is left unattended. If you must leave the kitchen or walk away from the grill to check the score, carry an oven mitt or grilling tongs with you as a reminder that something is cooking.

· Create safety zones to control the crowd. Limit the number of people in areas like the kitchen, especially when the stove or oven is in use.

CHILD-PROOF AND DAD-PROOF FOR A FOOL-PROOF PARTY

· Create safety zones to control the crowd. Limit the number of people in areas like the kitchen, especially when the stove or oven is in use.

* Also, use the teams’ pre-game stretches as a guide to get down on your hands and knees to search each room for objects or situations that may endanger children who will be at your home. Pay attention to sharp corners and small objects.

· Adjust the lineup for a fun and safe party for kids. Make your home game day ready for children. If you’re rearranging furniture for the party don’t block exits with large items in case of an emergency. Pathways should be clear of small toys, throw rugs, electrical cords and other items that could cause children to trip or fall.

· Get your game face on with water-based face paint. Purchase face paint that is clearly marked “non-toxic” and “water-based.” Carefully review the product before buying it, as some face paints may contain small amounts heavy metals like lead and can cause adverse skin reactions, rashes and irritation, even in small amounts. Also, pay close attention to the directions on face paint, specifically where they can be used and how to best remove them.
