What desserts can I make without using a oven?

Question

I'm planning a dessert party and don't know what desserts to make without the use of an oven. Also, does anyone know any nonalcoholic drinks I can make besides coffee?

The weather may be a little chilly.

Hawaiian Mocha Dream Squares (T&T)
Posted by BettyBoop at recipegoldmine.com 1/2/2002 3:35 pm

These bars are just wonderful. One bite and you too will agree that they are dreamy and delicious. It has a super creamy texture and a wonderful taste.

3/4 cups butter plus 1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon cocoa powder ( good quality)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons freshly ground espresso beans (finely ground)
1 beaten egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup sweet shredded coconut
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons freshly brewed hot espresso coffee
3 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate squares

Coat an 8-inch square pan with butter and set aide.

First layer:

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a 2-quart pan. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa, and 4 tablespoons of ground coffee mixing well. Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing until completely blended.

Gradually stir in graham cracker crumbs, mixing well (the mixture will be thick). Mix in the nuts and coconut and mix to combine (I sometimes add chopped maraschino cherries which adds a great taste). Press mixture into the prepared pan and chill.

Middle layer:

Beat 1/4 cup of butter until soft, then gradually add the sugar and beat until creamy smooth. Stir in only enough of the espresso coffee to make the mix smooth and easy to spread. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and spread over the first layer. Return to refrigerator.

Top layer:

Melt chocolate and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a double boiler and the remainder of the ground coffee, mixing to combine. Spread the mixture thinly and evenly over the middle layer. Return to refrigerator and chill for 1 hour until the top layer has set completely. Cut into small squares that will give you 36 pieces.

NOTE: I like to line the pan with plastic wrap. This way I can cut the squares on a cutting board and not scratch up my baking pans.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

There a lot of cream pie type desserts you can make using instant pudding. Throw your prefered variety in a pre-made graham crust and add a little fresh fruit or whipped cream. You can also make a tiramisu using store bought pound cake or lady fingers...no oven required. I would serve a variety of flavored teas and maybe even hot chocolate along with the desserts.

Answer 4

If you have a crock pot go to this link and it will give you desserts you can make in a crock pot
http://recipes.bhg.com/recipes/searchResults.jsp?start=1&searchType=browse&resultsType=recipe&adCategory=4&_requestid=145031

Then after you have found those recipes that you like you can search there website for beverages. Maybe some eggnog or white hot chocolate, or mexican hot chocolate.

They also have other recipes for desserts that don't require an oven or a crockpot, but the link i gave you was dessert made in a crock pot. If you don't have a crock pot, just click on home and go to the recipe index and go to appliance and pick the appliance you want to use, like microwave. Then in search, type dessert, or click this link and it will take you to that page http://recipes.bhg.com/recipes/searchResults.jsp?start=1&searchType=text&resultsType=recipe&resultCategory=kitchen&_requestid=147328
