What is a good and easy summer dessert for a large family?

Answer 1

Banana Blueberry Pie

2-9" pie crust baked(I use store bought)
8 oz cream cheese
1 c confectioners sugar
1 8oz container of whipped topping
1-2 bananas sliced and coated with lemon juice or fruit fresh to keep from turning black.
1 can of blueberry pie filling(or your fav)

Allow bake crust to cool completely. In a bowl cream cheese and sugar, fold in whipped topping, line pie crusts with sliced bananas, divide cheese mixture and spread over bananas, divide pie filling, spread over cheese mix. Cover and refrigerate. Makes 12-16 generous servings.

Answer 2

The easiest summer dessert I know - and one that everyone loves - is:

Summer Pudding
*********************
one pint of blueberries
1/4 cup of water
3 or 4 tablespoons of sugar
** put the above into a sauce pan and cook over low heat until they are nicely cooked and fragrant ~ about 10 minutes ~ or do in the top of a double boiler ~ you may put a dash of cinnamon if you wish, but usually the ripeness of the blueberries carries the day ~ let the berries cool a little

line a serving bowl with slices of white bread, crusts trimmed, cut in half ...put some on the bottom and all the way around the sides of the bowl, overlapping slices ...then pour in the fruit carefully, smooth the top, set aside to cool, then cover and refrigerate an hour or so ....

for a large family, I would double the recipe ... for some reason the men really like it, because it is not too sweet, I think

serve with whipped cream or ice cream
**********************************************
another one, just as simple:
Apple Brown Betty
**********************
applesauce
whole wheat breadcrumbs, browned in a generous amount of butter
***************
butter a square baking dish, put in a layer of applesauce then a layer of crumbs ... continue alternating layers, ending with crumbs on the top

bake at 350 or 375 for about 25 minutes until fragrant and toasty

serve with cream or custard sauce
or ice cream ....

also a favorite with the men!!!
make plenty .. it is good warmed up for breakfast, too

Lemon Pillow Cake

1 white cake mix
1 can lemon pie filling

Mix cake as directed on box and pour into a 9x13 pan. Place spoonsful of lemon pie filling in blobs over batter. Bake as directed on the box. Let cool completely. Cake batter covers blobs, so there will be pockets of lemony filling inside.

Frosting:
1 can ready to spread lemon flavored frosting
1 tub of Cool Whip

Mix frosting and Cool Whip together and spread on cake. This needs to be kept refrigerated.

(Also good made w/ chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filing, and chocoalte icing.)
