COFFEE TOFFEE PIE

From the ”Becker House Cookbook” by Judi Longley.  Original recipe from Irene, the former owner of “The Beaver Lodge” a truck stop near Catskill New York.

Ingredients:

1 Lb        Butter

2 Cups    Sugar

1/8 Cup    Instant coffee

Vanilla

4              Eggs (The expensive Pasteurized ones are best)

2/3 Cup    Cocoa

10 in.       Chocolate Cookie Crumb Crust

16 oz.      Heavy Cream

1/8 Cup    Cocoa

Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar slowly to maintain creamy consistency.

Dissolve coffee in just enough vanilla to make it dissolve thoroughly, it should be fully liquefied, syrupy.

Add coffee vanilla mixture to the butter and sugar and mix well.

Beat 4 eggs until frothy and add 2/3 cup cocoa gradually (if you try to add it too fast it will just make a mess) and add to the previous mix.  Try to maintain the moussy texture by adding gradually.

Pour, or spoon into the prepared crust.

Chill for at least 1/2 hour.

Whip cream to thick and fluffy, adding 1/8 cup cocoa slowly

Spead whipped cream over chilled filling and dust with more cocoa.

Chill pie, but remove from refrigerator a couple of hours before serving to allow it to soften to a moussy texture.

London Broil
2 lbs flank steak
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 pkg of onion soup mix

Put the flank steak in the bottom of the slow cooker. In a bowl mix together the mushroom and tomato soup, pour on top of meat in slow cooker. Sprinkle the pkg of onion soup mix on top. Cook on low for 10 hours.

I like to add a couple of cans of whole potatoes and a can of carrots.  Super simple and a family fave!
