Answer 1

Fruit Pizza
1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups assorted fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas, kiwi, blueberries, etc (any fruit really)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place dough on round baking stone and cook 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool. For topping, combine cream cheese and sugar and spread over cookie dough, then start placing on the fruit.

Answer 2

Apple-Cranberry Kissel

5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons potato starch (or corn starch)
1 cup cold water
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
8 to 10 gingersnaps, crushed

Add the apples, cranberry juice, sugar and cinnamon to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the apples are very soft, about 10 minutes. Dissolve the potato starch in 1 cup cold water. Pour this slurry into the hot apple mixture, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the kissel starts to bubble again, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and pour into individual dessert dishes. Allow them to cool then refrigerate them for at least 2 hours.
In a small bowl mix the sour cream with the brown sugar and lemon juice. To serve, put a good dollop of the sweet sour cream on top of the kissel and swirl it in with a spoon. Garnish with the crushed gingersnaps.

Answer 3

OK, this probably isn't the healthiest, but it's good and easy.

1 pkg pistachio pudding mix
1 15 oz. can crushed pineapple, slightly drained
1 tub of Cool Whip (could use low fat)
1 graham cracker crust (like Keebler)

Stir the mix and pineapple together in a bowl and wait 10 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip, dump it in the crust, throw it in the fridge, wait about 4 hours and you've got a nice light and fluffy dessert! Literally, easy as pie!

Answer 4

This will come out a bit like a sorbet. Take a can of cranberry sauce with whole berries in it and a can of crushed pineapple. Blend thorougly and pour into a container to freeze. Once frozen, allow to thaw just enough to stir and break up the ice crystals. You may serve with a bit of sour cream or whipped cream topping to dress it up. A few walnuts or pecans crushed and sprinkled on top also adds to the nutritional value and dresses it up.

Answer 5

granita
over low heat mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 cups strawberry puree and 1 qt of orange juice, stir until the sugar is disolved, pour into a baking dish, and freeze. after it freezes, scrape with a spoon or fork and put the crystals in a bowl. you can also add a cup of vodka before you freeze it for a slightly slushier, adult dessert.

Answer 6

I recommend you try this asian dessert called 'bubur cha-cha'. It's with coconut milk and yam chunks, sweet potato chunks and colored gelatine cubes added into the concoction. It's quick and easy to make. You will love this dessert! It tastes heavenly.
