What is a good dessert that is easy to make that I can bring to Easter dinner?

Question

I'm looking for something more than emptying a box and baking, just not something that is going to take forever.

Answer 1

Go to foodnetwork.com and search thier desserts. They have awesome recipes.

Answer 2

This is "rizogolo"--Greek Rice Pudding witj Cinnamon.
Dead easy, portable, and you can make it in batches. Goes with everything and you can add fruit, etc. to make it special.
Add whipped cream if you want also...

Recipe #3
Europa--Greece--Greek Rice Pudding (Rizogolo)


Ingredients:


2 quarts of whole milk (preferably)
1/2 cup Mahatma or other good quality white rice
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
e eggs
cinnamon, for garnish


Preparation:


Bring milk to a boil for approximately five minutes. If a
skin form on the top, break it up by stirring back into milk.

Add rice and stir.

Lower heat and continue on simmer for 45 minutes, stirring.

Add sugar and vanilla and stir for 15 minutes more.

Shut off hut; leave the pot on its burner.

Whip the eggs in a blender or thoroughly by hand with a fork
until smooth.

Then, very carefully and slowly, use a hand beater and whip
the rice mixture for about one minute, not overlong.
(Alternatively do eggs in blender and fill blender 3/4 full
of hot rice mixture before whipping for about 30 seconds.
If second method is used, add whipped mixture back into the
pot.

Stir well in either case to mix thoroughly.

Pour into a large bowl and refrigerate overnight.

Sprinkle with cinnamon at the time you serve this dish.


Serves eight

Serving Suggestions:
This traditional dish is thicker and heavier than the usual
rice pudding. It may be served with a sweeter ice cream such
as French vanilla, mint chocolate, or a lemon sauce. This
accompanies well with darker fruit also such as mature
bananas, ripe apricots, cherries, canned pears, kiwis or ripe
melon with grapes.

Answer 3

Strawberry Shortcake is pretty easy. Instead of buying those pre-made cakes you can make shortcake biscuits with Bisquick or even make a homemade pound cake. Yum!

Rachel Ray has some pretty quick yummy desserts too. You might want to check out her website. Ohhh....I was just watching Semi-Homade Cooking with Sandra Lee and she was making an Apple Raisin Betty. Check it out!

Butter flavored cooking spray
2 (21-ounce) cans apple pie filling (recommended: Comstock)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 packets instant oatmeal with raisins and spice, divided (recommended: Quaker Oats)
6 tablespoons butter, divided

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish with butter flavored cooking spray.
Spread half of the apple pie filling in the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and 1 1/2 packets of oatmeal. Dot with half the butter. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Answer 4

Rice pudding of course,
(nothing quick ever turn out right!)
do you like rice? well it really doesn't matter because the taste isn't that of rice anyways.

serving of more than 6 people: pan of cooked rice place in fridge for about three hours till really stiff, not wet but dry.
put in a bowl, add:
*cup 1/2 milk
*Suger /two to four cups.
*three whites of an egg
*raisins if you'd prefer for zest!
*vanilla extract for taste and color
* a little cinnamin for zip!!
mix together, place in any type of cooking pan even a big pot
you know like a chilli pot, place in oven, bake for a length of 1 1/2 hours or untill top turn light brown..

when done, let sit to help stiffen even more...
this is just one way to make rice pudding, taste good warm, but even better cold. if you used a flat pan, take a knife and slice it when serving, in a pot take a big spoon and dip.

have fun, it is well worth it! Happy Easter!

Answer 7

Coconut cake

Make or buy an angel food cake.
Frost with canned vanilla or a homemade vanilla frosting of your choice.
While frosting is still wet, pat coconut over the entire cake.

I made this for Easter this year and I made a homemade marshmallow frosting. It is really good.

I think that a sweet coconut cream or banana cream pie would
really be nice for easter!
