Mexican Fiesta Dessert Ideas for Church Anniversary Dinner

[jasonmva]

I am the coordinator for our church's anniversary dinner. Our theme this year is a Mexican Fiesta and I don't know what type of dessert to do that would tie in with the theme. My original plan was to just have an ice cream sundae station set-up and let people make their own sundaes but I feel I need something for those that won't be in the mood for sundaes. Anybody have any idea what I could do?

What about the Mexican Chocolate Cake in the Season's Best. It's a microwave cake using the Fluted Pan, so I'm not sure if you have that. It would be easy and would go along with the theme.

Chocolate and cinnamon are popular ingredients in Mexican desserts.

Cool & Creamy Chocolate fondue with cinnamon chips has been a popular dessert with my fiesta shows.

You can also look at the recipes in the Una Muestra cookbooks on line under recipes/season's best - they are in English for us there.

Here I go again.....

Mini Margarita Pies

1 pkg Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (Pillsbury or Nestle break and bake 20 count)

1 pkg cream cheese

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 or 2 limes

8 oz container of cool whip

Pretzels (optional)

Strawberries (Optional for garnish)



Cut each of the dough cookies in half. Roll into a ball, flatten slightly and place in Mini Muffin Pan.
Bake cookies at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for about 1 minute, then REPRESS lightly with floured Mini Tart Shaper. Remove from Pan to Stackable Cooling Rack.
Meanwhile, combined softened cream cheese with powdered sugar in Classic Batter Bowl. Zest lime with Microplane Adjustable Grater. Cut lime in half and press with Citrus Press. (Add both limes if you prefer lots of lime flavor!) Mix with Stainless Steel Whisk. Add in Cool Whip.
Using Star tip of Easy Accent Decorator, pipe filling into cups. If desired, add chopped pretzels to cup before filling (to add a bit of salty flavor), OR stick a pretzel stick into each cup. Garnish with strawberry slice if desired
