Birthday dessert problem!?

Question

Ok...so my dads birthday is today and me and my mom usually make him a speacial dinner and dessert. The only problem is that we can't think of a good birthday dessert. And my dad does not like cake! Anybody have a good dessert idea?

Please include the recipe and the baking information.

Thanks!

Answer 1

you could make a trifle. bake brownies, make pudding, thaw cool whip, cut up fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, bluberries whatever he likes. cut the brownies into bite size pieces then layer all the things in a glass bowl.
something like brownies, pudding, fruit, cool whip, repeat. it's yummy, and very easy if you have stuff on hand!

Good luck, and happy birthday to your dad!

How about a Boston Cream Trifle?

Bake a white or yellow cake.
Make 2 pkgs instant vanilla pudding.
1 Can chocolate fudge frosting

After the cake cooks break it into pieces and put into a large trifle dish or a clear glass serving bowl. Alternate layers of cake and pudding drizzling melted chocolate fudge frosting over the top. Sprinkle the top with colored sprinkles. Chill for a couple of hours and serve.

Well it will be an opinion only of course but who doesn't like cheese cake? You can bake or do Jello brand easy to do. You can write happy birthday on it and add fruit to it last and if you use jello the recipe is on the box. Problem solved. Have a good one.

Try these they are delicious and easy to make. What is there not to like about Sopaipillas?

Sopaipillas

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 tbl. shortening
½ c. warm water

Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Gradually add water, stirring mixture with a fork. Dough will be crumbly. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface; knead until smooth ball is formed. Divide in half; let stand for 10 minutes. Roll each half to 10”x12” rectangle and 1/8” thick. Cut in 3” squares. Fry 3 or 4 squares at a time in deep hot fat at 400° for about 30 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with honey and powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar. Can be filled with fruit pie filling or jam.

Answer 6

If your Dad likes ice cream and not cake, you could buy an ice cream cake. It's basically ice cream with some crunchy chocolate bits. Does he like cookies? You could make a big chocolate chip cookie in a pan and make it a cookie cake. The malls around here used to sell them. Hope Dad has a special day.

Answer 7

make him a pudding pie. my grandfather requests them every year instead of cake. just buy a pre-made pie shell and some jello instant pudding in the flavor of your dad's preference. mix the pudding, pour it into the pie shell and refrigerate until done. serve with ice cream, cool whip, or coffee.
