Preferably without nuts or where nuts can easily be left out. I'm looking for new ideas, it seems like a lot of the dessert recipes don't use a lot of products.

I don't have any of the skillets so I can't do a skillet cake unless I borrow one from my director, I do have the DCB, a stoneware pie dish and the large bar pan of course.
 
Personally, I don't do Dessert Shows. I discovered that although people oohhed and aahhhed, I didn't get the same sales or bookings with dessert shows that I get with a Main Dish Show.

I use desserts as an incentive sometimes - like, Have 15 confirmed RSVP's and I'll bring dessert. When I do bring dessert, it's either a trifle, a dip, or a skillet cake.

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand your struggle with finding dessert recipes that don't use a lot of products or contain nuts. Luckily, there are plenty of delicious options out there that fit your criteria!One idea is to use your stoneware pie dish to make a classic apple pie. Simply use your favorite pie crust recipe (or a pre-made one) and fill it with sliced apples, cinnamon, and sugar. You can even get creative and add in some raisins or cranberries for an extra burst of flavor. Bake in the oven and enjoy a warm, homemade apple pie without any nuts.Another option is to use your large bar pan to make a delicious fruit crumble. Simply mix together your choice of fruits (such as berries, apples, or peaches) with some sugar and a bit of flour. Then, top it with a mixture of oats, flour, and butter. Bake in the oven and you have a tasty dessert that can easily be made without nuts.If you're looking for something more indulgent, you can try making a chocolate lava cake in your DCB. Simply mix together some chocolate cake mix, water, and oil and pour it into the DCB. Then, add in some chocolate chips and bake in the microwave for a quick and easy dessert that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.I hope these ideas help inspire you to try out some new dessert recipes without nuts. And don't forget, you can always

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your favorite dessert recipe to showcase at Pampered Chef shows?

One of my favorite dessert recipes to showcase is the Chocolate Lava Cake. It's a crowd-pleaser and can be made using the Deep Covered Baker, which demonstrates the versatility of our stoneware. The ooey-gooey chocolate center always impresses guests!

How do you make the Chocolate Lava Cake during a show?

To make the Chocolate Lava Cake, you'll need chocolate, butter, eggs, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Melt the chocolate and butter together, whisk in the eggs and sugar, then fold in the flour. Pour the mixture into the Deep Covered Baker and microwave for about 8-10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream for an extra treat!

Can you suggest a quick dessert recipe for a last-minute show?

A great quick dessert recipe is the Berry Delight Parfait. Layer fresh berries, whipped cream, and crushed cookies in our Trifle Bowl. This recipe is simple, requires no baking, and showcases the beauty of our products while allowing guests to see how easy it is to create a delicious dessert.

What tips do you have for making desserts at Pampered Chef shows?

Always prepare as much as you can in advance to keep the show flowing smoothly. Use our tools to demonstrate efficiency, like the Food Chopper for chopping fruits or the Mix 'N Chop for blending ingredients. Engaging your audience by asking for volunteers to help can also make the experience interactive and fun!

How can I adapt dessert recipes for different dietary needs?

Adapting dessert recipes for dietary needs is easier than you think! For gluten-free options, use almond flour or gluten-free baking mixes. For dairy-free desserts, substitute almond or coconut milk and use dairy-free chocolate. Always communicate with your guests about their dietary restrictions to ensure everyone can enjoy the treats!
