Answer 2

Hi!! I think you can try this! It’s easy and yummy for me. Get a banana cake or carrot cake about 300 grams, then cut the top, like making a well inside. be careful not to cut the sides. Then mix a fruit cocktail, a little of condense milk and a whip cream and some walnuts. then put it in t he well that you made in the bread. Then chill or try this one. This is called leche flan.

Ingredients:
12 egg yolk
2 whole eggs
11/2 cup condense milk
3/4 c. homo milk (i think this is optional)
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 c.white sugar
1 tbsp.vanilla
11/2 c. brown sugar

Instructions:
Mix all 7 ingredients.
Caramelized sugar on the molded tin
until its golden brown
pour the mixtures and Bake for 30-45 min. w/ cover
put them in the middle rack oven

Tip: If you dont have a oven you can steem the mixture for about 30 min.

Hope you will like this

Answer 3

My answer to all dessert questions is trifle. To make it Christmassy you could sprinkle a little red and green sugar on the top layer of whipped cream. It's super easy.

Chocolate trifle:

Prepare a devils food cake mix as indicated on the box except cook in a loaf pan, cool completely then cut into half inch slices

Layer slices of the chocolate cake, chocolate sauce (caramel is an alternative), chocolate pudding (or chocolate mousse), and whipped cream in a deep trifle bowl. Refrigerate overnight so that the liquid ingredients seep into the cake. Another layer you could add would be chopped Heath bars or chopped Oreos.

Answer 4

You can use white chocolate and sprinkle the slices with green sprinkles (instead of nuts) to look like Christmas trees.

Cheesecake on a Stick

1 (8-inch) cheesecake
1 (12 oz.) pkg. milk chocolate chips
2 T. vegetable shortening
1/2 C. chopped nuts of your choice or brittle chips
8 Popsicle sticks

Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
Cut cheesecake into 8 equal wedges and make a 1/4-inch horizontal slit in the center back of the crust of each slice of cheesecake with the tip of a knife. Insert a wooden craft stick through the slit, halfway into each slice. Place the slices on the baking sheet, cover, and freeze overnight.

Melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and spoon over the cheesecake slices, coating completely and allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan.

Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle 1 tablespoon nuts over the top of each and return to the baking sheet; freeze for 1 hour, or until the chocolate and cheesecake are frozen.

Here's a pic decorated like little trees:

Answer 5

Make this and form it into a wreath, star, or Cmas tree shape. They will LOVE this!

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

1- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped pecans, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients (except choc. chips) in a bowl, much like you would a cookie dough. Refrigerate for at least half an hour. Take out mixture, form into a ball, then roll it in the choc. chips. Refrigerate again until ready to serve. Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or shortbread cookies.
