What Would Be a Quick, Easy Desert?

[AJPratt]

I am already doing one recipe and I was going to do the microwave cake, but the host wanted something different. Any suggestions?

Tiramisu Brownie Squares could be quick, depending how much prep work you did at home.

Raspberry Summer SippersThe Raspberry Summer Sippers from the Casual Cooking Cookbook are a personal favorite of mine. It's 3 ingredients and its cheap - plus, it shows off the pitcher, ice cream dipper, Easy Read Meas. Cups and the Measure All. Everyone loves it - its a cool refreshing sherbert drink!

What about that two step fudge? Or the Profiterole puffs if you make the puffs ahead of time and fill them at the show!

They are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! I can't decide if I like these or the Banana Cream Brownie Squares the best! I made the banana ones for this evening's picnic! These are my two new favorite desserts!!! Love them!

I like making the Apple Bundles. (I do make them a little different from the recipe)

What I do is - I prepare the apple bundles before I leave the house, I put them in the large bar pan.(I don't bake them) I then take them to the host home and sprinkle them with the sugar cinnamon mixture and then bake them there at her house. This way as people are arriving, they smell the apples and cinnamon baking.

Now for what I do different with the recipe. As I am using the Apple P/C/S - I then put the apples in a bowl of Sprite Soda. I read this tip in one of the cookbooks. It keeps the apples from turning brown before they are baked. The recipe calls for orange zest and orange juice. Well I have found - but maybe I am doing something wrong - that the orange zest burns while baking and gives an awful taste to the bundles and the orange juice just seems to make the bundles soggy. So I don't use the orange that the recipe call for. And one last thing I do. I buy the breadsticks that have 8 sticks not the 12 sticks and then I cut the 8 sticks into half. The recipe calls for you to wrap the breadstick around the apples well I try this the first time and it was way too much dough. It works well the way I do it.

When ever I do a show that is booked off of a show that I did the apple bundles, the next host wants me to do apple bundles for them. They just love having the smell in their house when their guest arrive.

I forgot to tell you that this recipe is very cheap.

I should have provided a bit more info... I'm going right from work to this show, so I guess maybe I should just do a topper or some sort of brownie thing. Whatever it is it needs to keep from the night before.

The chocolate mousse recipe from F/W season's best is also a quick one- especially if you do the crepes ahead.
The puff pastry people also sell these awesome puff pastry cups- they come in pack of 8 I think in the freezer section- They go on sale for $1.75 often where I live- Anyways, they are very cute flower shaped puffs, and there is a "top" that pulls off to reveal a hollow inside, perfect for filling with mousse or dessert stuff. They take a bit longer that the crepes to bake, but are no work at all and very impressive.

This drink I referred to earlier takes no prep, literally. You pull out the sherbert, juice and sprite the moment you are ready to make dessert drinks. No prep, no work, super fast, and yummy!!

Tuxedo Brownies are always a huge hit! (Celebrate cookbook) I bake the brownies ahead of time and freeze them in batches of 25. That is how many fit on the a medium square. Then just top them at the show. YUMMY!

That sounds good. Maybe I'll do that.
