My cluster is having a HWC Fundraiser Dinner this week & each of us is fixing a PC dessert. I was thinking about doing the Pink Lemonade Squares, but I've never tried them....are they good? I feel kinda dumb asking that question since every PC recipe I've ever had was wonderful, but I want to make an easy pink dessert that will be a hit with the guests. What do you guys think?
 
I've done the Pink Lemonade Squares several times and they were a big hit. The pretzel base sounds a little strange but the saltiness of the pretzels balances off the sweetness and tang of the lemonade.

It's a good "pink" recipe to bring to gatherings big or small - you can control the size of the bars (although I tended to have more than one because they were yummy).

Where did you find this recipe? I've combed through my stuff and can't dig it up?
 
Pink Lemonade Dessert Squaresi actually had these on my show recipe list last summer. Everyone really liked the recipe. I thought they were a little tart...but I am partial to desserts with chocolate! Don't forget the food coloring...you'll need it to make these a pretty pink color.
 
Anyone find the recipe??
 
I don't have the medium bar pan... which other stoneware pan could I use.
 
Thank you, thank you for the recipe idea!!!!!! It sounds wonderful!!! Tracy

Diane, I've never made them, but you could probably use any of the bakers.
 
I think you could use the rec baker for I use for other recipe about that size.
 
I would think the Square Baker would be equivalant to the med. bar pan! I was thinking the same thing- the med bar pan is one of the FEW stones I do NOT own!! LOL
 
The recipe is online now and when doubled fits in the large bar pan. They are very good and easy. I just had them at a show and garnished each square with a star of whipped cream, (with decorator) a fresh raspberry, and placed a few random mint leaves. They looked great!
 
Question about this recipeI'm trying to put together a light, cool summer recipe selection.

Came across this recipe and have a few questions:

Not a big fan of using margarine or low(non)fat items... Does it make a difference to use a regular cream cheese?

Further to that, what is Neufchâtel? Can you find it at your local grocery store?

Thanks for sharing!:D
 
Personally, I would use regular cream cheese. I made it using the Neufchâtel and I didn't care for the recipe. I think it would be better with regular cream cheese.

The Neufchâtel is a low-fat type cream cheese found in the grocery stores right next to the regular cream cheese.

Good luck!
 
Thanks for the info Rebecca!
 
Love It!

my friend made this for my co-host and I when we hosted a show...back in 05 it was very good especially if you like lemon desserts.
 
There is also one similar and made in the pie plate in the delightful desserts cookbook. It is delicious! And beautiful!
