Question

I am looking for an easy and nice dessert to make for my family. One that doesn't take that long to make. Does anyone on here have a favorite that they would like to share???

Answer 1

This ones an easy one. Yummy too.

store bought angel food cake (round)
Whipped cream or cool whip
Heath bars chopped up
Caramel sauce

Divide the angel food cake into three rings. Place bottom ring in a trifle dish. Top with whipped cream, heath bars then caramel sauce. Add two more layers just like the first. Your top layer should be candy pieces and caramel drizzled over the whipped cream. It's easy and delicious. I also do this with fruit and people love it as well.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs. Beat until light and fluffy. Add the almond extact. Stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix until smooth. Butter a 13x9-inch cake pan. Turn the mixture into the pan. Spoon the pie filling into the cake, in 16 spots, spacing 4 spoonfuls evenly in each direction. Bake at 350 deg F for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden and cake tests done. Filling will sink into the cake while baking. To serve, cut into 16 pieces. Place bottom side up on serving plate. dust with powdered sugar. Spoon slightly sweetened whipped cream over each serving, if desired. This is great served warm.

Cook's Notes
For blueberry dessert, substitute blueberry pie filling for the cherry.

Answer 4

How about a trifle. Its fairly simple and beautiful. Traditionally made with custard, but you could certainly use vanilla pudding. Use a fairly deep bowl or punch bowl. Layer the bottom with soft cookies or lady fingers. Then add a layer of fresh sweet fruit with some sprinked sugar. Then add a layer of pudding and continue the layers until you reach about 1 inch from the top. Some great long lasting fruits are raspberries, blue berries, strawberries, tangerines...and banannas if added at the last minute. Dont forget to top with whipped cream and maybe a little bit of white chocolate flakes, or maybe some cocoa powder sprinkled on top with mint. enjoy!

Answer 5

Take a preprepared chocolate cookie crust. Layer drained crushed pinapple, sliced bananas, sliced strawberries. Mix one 4serving box of instant vanilla pudding according to directions and pour over fruit. let it set up in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Add 2 cups Cool whip, spread on top like frosting. Drizzle with Hershey's syrup. Voile. Banana Split Pie.This disappears every time I make it. The fruit makes it healthier. hope this helps. Serves 6 to 8

Answer 9

My mom always made something called "Dump-Cake" that sounds gross but is freakin' awesome.

Spray a 9x13 pan, set the over to 350F, and dump in one large can of cherry pie filling and one large can of crushed pienapple. Mix a bit so it lays evenly in the pan, then shake evenly over the top one box of yellow cake mix. Drizzle half a cup of melted butter over the top, and bake if for 20 min., or until the top is golden and crumbly and the fruit is all bubly and molten.

Quick, easy, little clean-up, cheap, and delicious!
