gardenmom5 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I invited my sister and brother to dinner on saturday. . .(though I've been asking my self recently why I want to have contact with my brother). I need a dessert suggestion. something good, special, etc. If I was healthier - I'd probably do my chocolate hazelnut christmas tree stump (picture below) it is very rich, and will easily serve 20. probably my showiest christmas dessert, but I'm not up to making it. so, any suggestions?

Southern Ivy Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sopapilla Cheesecake is really easy and versatile. I used to make it for all the parties and potlucks I used to go to. I like to put pie filling on top of the cheesecake mixture, then put the top crust on. The most popular has been apple pie filling with caramel sauce. Then when it's done cooking, I do a drizzle of caramel sauce on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pastry is accidentally vegan & I can use vegan cream cheese .... I think this might be our 'cheesecake like thing' on the 24th. Yay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmasc Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Ice cream pie you’ll need: graham cracker crust vabilla ice cream hot fudge (or chocolate) and caramel sauce snickers, crushed pretty small heavy whipping cream and sugar soften ice cream on the counter and mix in chopped up snickers. Drizzle caramel and chocolate sauce on bottom of crust. Spread ice cream on top. Place in freezer for a few hours. Right before serving, take out of freezer and let sit while you whip the cream and sugar. Spread whipped cream over ice cream. Sprinkle more snickers on top and drizzle some more sauce over it. It slices better with a knife that has been placed under warm water. All snickers and sauce quantities are eyeballed. 🙂 you could use any candy bar of your choosing but this is what I’ve always used.

It’s also really good with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of honey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy enough, I have never had it plain!!! I was first introduced to it with blueberry pie filling and that's all we do now. haha I need to try it like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsie Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ice cream served in desert dishes with fancy toppings can look special but be low prep. You can either drizzle with store bought chocolate sauce or top with spirit-soaked fruit. I fancy cookie or sprinkling of nuts or grated chocolate will dress it up. Homemade whipped cream is an added bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 This is delicious, very "christmasy" and looks pretty with powdered sugar dusted on top. (I do that instead of the glaze). Not difficult. https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gingerbread-bundt-cake-recipe A trifle is pretty and there are some easy recipes out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBlossom Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Costco has a box of cheesecake bites in the freezer section. It's my favorite too-stressed-to-make-homemade-dessert dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Ok - I thought I'd go ahead and update. I'm making a white chocolate cake. I'm not doing the royal icing snowflakes. I prefer the krogers/fredmeyer white chocolate chips to either ghirardelli or nestle's. (they use palm kernal oil - no cocoa butter at all.)

solascriptura Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 What about a nice trifle? You can use a nice store bought pound cake, use some berries and canned whipped cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
