DESSERTS

Do you get the idea that if there is cooking to be done I want it to be as easy as possible?  You are so right. 


This recipe is from Sue Sepich.  I haven't tried it but she says its wonderful and her husband, Steve, said it was great.  I'm a "One piece of pumpkin pie a year is enough and make it a sliver" type person but I think I'll take it for Thanksgiving dinner at Angela's just to experiment. 
Easy Pumpkin Pie
16 oz can of Pumpkin
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp each of ginger, nutmeg and salt.
      Mix together, pour into prepared pie shell and bake at 425 for 15 minutes and then 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until knife in pie comes clean.


This recipe is from Beth Doolan.  For years, there were four couples of us who would meet on Sunday nights at our house for a Bible Study/Wine Tasting group....but that's another story.  Someone would always bring dessert. Beth brought this one time.  It is such a pretty presentation  and good too.

Chocolate Lasagna

Cool Whip
Ice Cream sandwiches (I prefer Kroger brand)2 boxes for a 9x13 pan
Chocolate Syrup
Caramel Syrup
Heath Bar Pieces
       Put a little whipped cream in the bottom of your pan.  Cover pan with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, Spritz caramel sauce over ice cream.  Cover with whipped cream.  Sprinkle half of a package of Heath Bar pieces.  Another layer of sandwiches, caramel sauce, whipped cream.  Sprinkle the top with the rest of the Heath bar pieces and drizzle chocolate syrup over top.  Refrigerate.  Can be frozen.


I have been making this dessert for me lately.  A  4 oz  pudding (they come in cups in the refrigerated case at the grocery store, six to a package).  I prefer vanilla or butterscotch.  A little Heath Bar Sundae Shell and Reddi Whip on top.  Looks pretty and tastes yummy.  The puddings come in chocolate flavor as well and I suppose you could use your pretty stemmed glasses, layer the pudding in the different flavors, cover with the shell and whipped cream and that might make an elegant looking dessert.  Just saying!
