Collard Valley Cooks

Collard Valley Cooks Hey y'all, and welcome to Collard Valley Cooks! In the early 1900s, Tammy's grandparents, Albert and Lucile Benefield, moved to Collard Valley.

They had a simple and happy life together, raising their family there. Granny and Albert had five children. They taught them the value of hard work, love for God, and the joy of food. Granny served not only her family but also others in the community and at her local church. As Tammy helped her Granny in the kitchen, she learned the art of cooking. Tammy's mama was also a fantastic cook and baker.

Her mother taught her even more about cooking than her granny did. As Tammy grew up and started her own family, she wanted to carry on those traditions. Tammy began her own cooking show, Collard Valley Cooks, in 2017. She wanted to teach others how to make homemade meals with fresh ingredients, just as her grandmother had taught her. Through Collard Valley Cooks, Tammy kept her family traditions alive. She teaches others their family recipes, just like Granny would have wanted.

No Fuss Mocha Cream Pie - Just Like Grandmother Made!
Master Cookbook Recipe #461) Mocha Cream Pie
 2/3 cup granulated sugar
 5 Tbsp cornstarch
 1/4 tsp salt
 1 cup evaporated milk
 1 cup strong black coffee, room temperature.
 2 oz of baker’s chocolate, unsweetened
 1 large egg
 2 tsp vanilla extract
 2 Tbsp butter, salted.
 pre-baked pie shell
Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a microwaveable glass bowl. Whisk together well. Add coffee and milk and whisk well. Add egg and whisk VERY WELL, making sure to incorporate the cornstarch from the bottom of the bowl. Add chocolate and microwave on high for 3 minutes. If your microwave is powerful (over 1100 watts), use 2 minutes instead.
Take the pudding out of the microwave and whip well, incorporating ingredients from the bottom of the bowl and melted chocolate. Beat until smooth. Return to the microwave and cook at 2-minute intervals, whisking until smooth between each cook.
Once the pudding is thick, remove it, add the extract and butter, and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into a pre-baked pie shell or a graham cracker crust. Cool at room temperature. Refrigerate pie. Serve with whipped cream.
For A Creamy Filling:
Use a graham cracker crust and omit the egg, replacing it with three large egg yolks. Decrease the amount of cornstarch to 4 Tbsp and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Holiday Ham , ,
Recipe in our Master Cookbook:
https://www.collardvalleycooks.com/cookbooks.html
Pork “Ham” Processed
I TYPICALL BUY A BUTT PORTION INSTEAD OF SHANK. IT
HAS LESS BONE AND MORE MEAT.
UNWRAP HAM
DISCARD SEASONING PACKET
DISCARD GLAZING PACKET (IF
AVAILABLE)
1/2 TSP. LIQUID SMOKE (OPTIONAL)

Spray roasting pan with cooking spray for easy clean up.
Use heavy and wide grade aluminum foil and pull-out
pieces long enough to extend 3’ past roasting pan on each
side. Place ham in center of roasting pan on top of foil. Pull
foil up and around ham and fold top over.
A GOOD HAM NEEDS NO SEASONING! NO SALT OR
NOTHING! CURED HAMS ARE SEASONED DURING
PROCESSING.
Bake covered 20 minutes per pound at 325 degrees. Take
out of oven. After it cools carve. Save drippings and pour
over sliced ham for extra moisture and flavor.
“Serve left over slices by frying them in butter on both
sides for breakfast! Keep fattier portions and freeze
for making dried beans.” -Tammy

Discounted cookbooks will not ship until January 2026! Link for our cookbooks. Collard Valley Cooks Store https://share.google/EJxwzZBejz6D9INWO The discounted books pep damage at the front and back cover. There is bubbling and the interior page colors are a yellow tone instead of a cream tan. The books are still in good shape and worth paying the $22.
