Carbonite 'n' Cream Pie

Carbonite 'n' Cream Pie was a type of vegetarian terrine served as a dessert by the pastry chefs of the Deep Core world Empress Teta. The creamy, cookie-filled dish had a brown base with a white layer and an uneven brown topping. Carbonite 'n' Cream Pie was served cold, and the chefs on Empress Teta rapidly blast-chilled it during preparation by dipping it into a miniature carbon-freezing chamber.^[1]

The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs stopped on Empress Teta during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took^[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY^[2] and learned of the chef's creative application of carbonite in the kitchen. He quickly ate up a plateful of Carbonite 'n' Cream Pie that he was served and later included a recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook,^[1] which was published in 35 ABY.^[2] He assured readers of the book that the dish could also be prepared using a regular freezer should they not have carbonite available.^[1]
