Need Margarita Microwave Show Ideas

[janezapchef]

My host for Sunday is having a Margarita show, but her oven just went out. She wanted a skillet dessert, but obviously that's out now. Her microwave works. She suggested the mexican chocolate cake, but I don't consider that much of a demo. I'm going to suggest the DCB fajitas, but does anyone have suggestions for a good dessert made in the microwave or that chills that goes with the them? I know I can make the Mexican Choc. Cake, but is that really a great demo? I don't think it's really a "wow"! Am I crazy?
Thanks,
Jane

You could do the cakes that are on the catalog, but use limes instead of lemons....

the chocolate velvet cake in the micorwave is very WOW and uses a lot of products. I have made it several times and everyone really likes it. I am doing it at show in 2 weeks and the hostess is serving maragaritas and we are doing mexican munchies.

If you have the trifle bowl, why not do a recipe in that? It shows off another great product, and always goes over well! Here's one I found that has a great Mexican flavor, and would go great with your theme (I think, at least )PS - I would use prebought whipped cream for the recipe; and Tia Maria is like Kahlua. Banoffee Trifle
Servings: 8

Comments:
This indulgent pudding uses ready-made dulce de leche and ready-made vanilla pudding (or vanilla custard) and is so simple to put together. The trifle can be made 6 hours before serving. A lovely dessert for any special occasion or for a beautiful dessert to end a holiday meal.Ingredients:
1 (10.75 oz.) ready-made pound cake (such as Sara Lee or Entenmanns)
2 tablespoons Tia Maria liqueur
1 (12 to 15 oz.) jar dulce de leche (Dulce de leche can be found in some supermarkets or gourmet food stores. It can also be purchased at many online stores)
4-5 ripe bananas
1 cup (8 oz./236ml) heavy cream or double cream
1 cup ready-made vanilla pudding or vanilla custard
3 1/2 oz. (100g) dark chocolateSpecial bowl:
You will need a 9 or 10-inch in diameter clear glass bowl that is at least 5-7 inches deep, such as a trifle bowl.Instructions:
Tear the pound cake into pieces and use them to line the bottom of a large clear glass serving bowl. Spoon over the Tia Maria so that the pound cake pieces are thoroughly soaked. Spoon the dulce de leche over the pound cake pieces, then slice the bananas and scatter them over the dulce de leche. Whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold half of the whipped cream into the vanilla pudding (or custard, if using). Spread the pudding (or custard) mixture on top of the bananas, to the edge of the bowl, using the back of a spoon, then top with the remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Right before serving grate the chocolate over the top of trifle. Store any uneaten trifle covered in the refrigerator.Makes 8 servings.Source: Home and Gardens

I have a show tomorrow night that I'm making the DCB fajitas at. I'm letting everyone "help" make the Salad Chopper Salsa and making a volcano cake in the Rice Cooker. This sounds like a lot but demo wise it won't take long at all. This is her 3rd show with me and she always has 1k shows and has 18 confirmed!

I LOVE the DCB fajita interactive demo, because, instead of everyone getting "just a taste" you are actually making a whole meal together in less than a 1/2 hour! And everyone has so much fun!

southwestern seasoning (I'll bring)
2-3 chicken breasts or 4-6 tenderloins

2. Use apple wedger to cut onion into perfect wedges (guests love this!) and place in DCB
3. Press 1-2 cloves of garlic (depend on size of clove and preference of audience, I usually do 2)
4. Sprinkle a light covering with the Southwest seasoning
5. Either use prep bowl and silicon basting brush or kitchen spritzer to lightly coat the chicken with oil
6. Place coated chicken over top of vegetables and sprinkle with more Southwest seasoning
7. Cook for about 13 minutes in microwave - it should be done but make sure
8. Give everyone a turn with our WONDERFUL salad choppers
9. Warm tortillas on stone in oven just a few minutes (longer if you want tostadas) or in the large microcooker in the microwave

Do you remember who did the teletalk class? Was it someone from HO or a director? I only ask b/c this is Becky's recipe! I sent it to the test kitchen a while back and told them all about Becky and how wonderful this recipe is (I also shared it with my cluster). I hate to think that someone is taking credit for Becky's ideas.

OH NO....that would stink!

 

[janezapchef]

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

I think I decided that I am making the "Volteado de Pina y Chocolate a la Estufa" from one of the Una Muestras. It is a pineapple chocolate upside down cake that is actually made on the stovetop, and it's surprisingly good! And, I'm making the Slap Yo Mama Margaritas from here. Wow! Are those good! What I would REALLY like to make are the fajitas, but the host wants a dessert. Oh well, next time!
Thanks,
Jane

Sorry, Linda, I do not remember who it was, it was just a regular call in teleclass. I took it sometime in August I think.. a while ago anyway.

Well thank you Becky, the recipe is amazing and makes an WONDERFUL show. I'm actually doing it as a COoking show Live at my cluster meeting next month, I'm a bit nervous but am looking forward to sharing such a great recipe with my cluster.
