As a
teacher, it’s obvious that I’m against cheating. No looking at others’ papers, no copying
homework before class has started and no peeking at the test beforehand. Simple
rules I’m sure you all are familiar with and have broken. No need to confess, I
am human too, I get it.
But while I maintain a strict
no-cheat policy in my classroom, I wholeheartedly promote a cheat-any-way-you-can
attitude in the kitchen. With time schedules like that of politicians, we all
know that any chance to buy some time is a precious opportunity. And for the
people who make products who help us find these opportunities, I would like to
give you a big SMOOCH! Or a hug, maybe a wink, just something to show how
flippin’ happy you make me.
With that said, this here recipe calls
for some serious affection. For one, the crust…Granola crust, how neat, right?
Neat to eat that is, not neat to
find, grind, bake and cool. Then, the ice cream….I know, no one really makes
their own these days but seriously, I don’t blame them. The stuff available
today is just a thing of beauty. Especially in this recipe, can you imagine making cheesecake, then making ice cream, then combining? Puh-lease, there's a better chance I'd boycott dessert if that were the case! Sadly though, I actually do own an ice cream maker……Hubby
bought it for me when we were just dating…..sweet gift from him, poor follow
through on me. Eh, I’ll dig it out someday I promise…..Luckily though, I don’t and
you don’t need one of those contraptions for this pie. All you need is about 10
minutes and some overnight freezer-time, good deal, yes? So go ahead my
friends, cheat and cheat proudly! Enjoy…
