Maple Cream pie

Aaaaaaand, the sugarfest continues. Seriously guys. I cannot be stopped. See here if you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m a bit of a maple addict. Growing up, my parents bought maple syrup from Costco by the vat. When I was in college, they’d ship me real maple syrup because the fake stuff wasn’t cutting it for me. Even the real stuff sometimes didn’t taste quite like the Canadian versions. So, after buying {several large} bottles of maple syrup from Costco, I decided to make a maple tart that is sort of like a cheesecake, sort of like a mousse and all around awesome. I didn’t have high hopes for this one at first, but seriously fell in love after one bite! Creamy, light, cold and sweet with a little crunch from the walnuts….it’s what dreams are made of.

Well, my dreams.

Am I the only one who dreams about really freakishly scary stuff or food? There’s nothing in the middle. Just straight up craziness or me making and shoveling food into my mouth. Ahhh, gotta love my psyche.

Which reminds me: when I entered that Good Morning America recipe contest that I won back in the day, the producer asked me how I came up with the recipe. I told him that I dreamt about it and he laughed. Legitimately laughed for a good 10 seconds.

He was a nice boy.

Not.

But, that’s honestly how I came up with that recipe {and at least 15 other recipes on my blog}. I have a strange gift.

Oh wait! One time I dreamt that my sister thought I was having an affair with my ex boyfriend from high school. That’s semi-normal! Well, kinda……never mind.

ANYWAYS, what I’m trying to say is that I’m weird. Accept it and move on.

Also, make these. Angels will sing. Here’s how you make them:

Start out with some of these babies! LOVE these cookies. I got these at Trader Joe’s, but you can buy a similar version by Dare.

This is what they look like. Aren’t they cute? I love ’em! 🙂

Grind up the cookies into crumbs and stir with some melted buter.

Press into 4 small tart pans and refrigerate.

For the filling, whip some cream up and set aside.

Now, whip up some cream cheese with

some vanilla,

real maple syrup, and some other stuff I didn’t take pictures of. Cause I’m just smart like that. {Sour cream, maple extract, sugar}

Whip everything together until light and fluffy and then fold in the whipped cream by hand.

Spoon the filling into the tarts, refrigerate a few hours and then top with a few walnuts for garnish. That’s it!

Hope you guys try these out. We LOVED them 🙂 Have a great weekend!
