What are some fancy desserts that I can make???!
Answers: Even at age thirteen I love to cook. This stated, I am making a supper for my parents tonight. I know what to make for the sides and the main dish, but have no idea what to make for the dessert, any suggestions???
ok, this is one of the greatest desserts ever! It's called mud pie and it's super easy to make! Just go to the store and get a mix for brownies and a pack of oreos! Follow the instructions on the box until the mix is done and in the pan/whatever you're going to cook it in and then break the oreos in half and place them, cream down, onto the batter. Cook for 25 minutes or so, ignore the what the box says. Make the mushy kind of brownies and serve with milk and don't forget NAPKINS! lol Good luck! I hope they like it!

Go to the grocery store and buy a package of chocolate wafer cookies, some whipping cream and strawberries or raspberries. There is a recipe on the box of wafers for a no-bake chocolate cake that is really good. All you do is sandwich all of the wafers into a log with the whipped cream, cover it with the rest of the cream and put it in the fridge for a few hours. When you serve it, add some berries. It's an easy, fun and delicious dessert and it looks great!

INGREDIENTS
15 graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
