I'm hosting a show in a couple of weeks where a friend will be cooking Italian food and would like some ideas for a dessert. I would like to use my Pampered Chef tart pan for this dessert. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Here are 2 recipes that I found that use the tart pan. I know I have another recipe ~ someplace on this computer that uses a tube of chocolate chip cookie dough as the base! When I find it I'll post it. :)
