What is the yummiest desert you've ever made or tasted!!? [that is simple]?!
Answers: i want simple recipies, b/c i'm wanting to WOW my boyfriends family with a desert for after church. no cakes though...
If you want simple, you cannot get any easier than Oreo Truffles.
OREO TRUFFLES
1 Package Oreo cookies, Finely Crushed
1 (8oz.) Package Whipped Cream Cheese
1 Pkg Wilton’s Dark Chocolate pieces (Buy at Any Craft Store)
1 Pkg Wilton’s White Chocolate Pieces, or any color (optional)
1. Crush the Oreo cookies in food processor or blender.
2. Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the whipped cream cheese until it forms a solid ball. (Blends best if you use your hand instead of a spoon).
3. Form the mixture into 1 inch balls, or any size you like.
4. Put the balls into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
5. Melt the entire bag of Wilton’s chocolate either in a double boiler or the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Do not add butter to the chocolate when melting.
6. Roll the oreo balls in the chocolate and place on rack to dry. Work quickly, one ball at a time, because the chocolate hardens fast! Re-melting the chocolate may be necessary about halfway through.
7. Decorate the tops with the second color. To decorate the truffles with the second color, you can use a Ziploc freezer bag as a small pastry bag. Put the melted chocolate in the Ziploc bag. Cut the corner of the bag and use the bag to pipe the second color on top of the truffles.
NOTES:
– Wilton’s also makes tools for handling the dipping and rolling of the truffles. You can also use a meat fork (two prongs). It is best not to use a regular fork.
– Instead of using a second color as decoration, you can reserve some of the Oreo crumbs in which to roll the truffles. Alternatively, you could roll the truffles in cocoa powder.
strawberry cheesecake
Buy a cardboard carton of plain chocolate wafer cookies. Follow the recipe on the box. You just slap them together with whipped cream and then cover the 2 rolls with whipped cream and refrigerate. Slice on the diagonal for an impressive striped look. Moist and delicious and 2 ingredients.
A desert called death by choclate. It was orgasmic. Lots of rich choclate nad lemon and cream.
I'm also a big fan of Lemon Chesscakes.
The one I made was regular cinnamon sticky rolls and it used the biscuits that you buy in the roll in the dairy section of the store. It was great and everyone loved it! Make sure you serve warm. This is just a variation of that recipe! They are very easy to make!

Only thing: I'd really suggest a double-boiler for melting the chocolate, and mixing the cool whip in. You can get it almost anywhere; it looks like a pot inside a pot, and you put water in the larger or the lower one, let it boil, then add chocolate to the smaller or the top one, let it melt, and slowly add the cool whip until you have a smooth texture.
There are a lot of ways you can change it, too, to personalize it or meet the tastes of the people you know - you can line the crust with fruit or add it in the center, you can swirl in different types of chocolate, you can use any type of chocolate there is, add nuts or mint or change the ratio of chocolate to whipped cream to make it lighter or thicker.
Have fun!
Take 3 kinds of ice cream, let them soften, then put them in 3 layers in loaf pans and re-freeze them. Then put the bottom of the loaf pan in warm water so that you can flip the ice cream onto a cookie sheet. Refreeze again for a few mins so that top can re-freeze. Slice into ice cream slices and wrap in cellophane wrap, put slices in zip lock bags and refreeze them. People can best eat them by unwrapping the cellophane down to the bottom, holding it by the cellophane and eating it like a sandwich. You can add chopped nuts or crushed oreos or crushed peppermint candies to the ice cream if you like, either at the beginning inside the ice cream layers or at the end, rolling the ice cream slices in them.
This is one of my absolute favorites:
Blueberry Cream Cheese Dessert
Ingredients Needed:
1 stick margarine
1 cup flour
1 cup pecans
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. low-fat cream cheese
2 (16 oz.) tubs Cool Whip
1 box confection sugar
1 can blueberry pie filling
Directions:
1. Melt butter. Mix flour and pecans with melted butter. Pat down in your glass baking dish (9x13) and bake for about 10-12 minutes on 350 or until light brown. Remove and let cool.
2. Mix together both packages of low-fat cream cheese, one bowl of cool whip and one box of confection sugar. Spread this mixture onto pecan crust. Then add blueberry pie filling and top with remaining bowl of cool whip. Refrigerate until chilled and serve.
NOTE: If you don't like blueberries, you can easily substitute cherry pie filling...either is delicious!
Canoli - but the shells, ricotta cheese, almond extract and powdered sugar. The recipe is on one of the boxes I can't remember which one right now. But it takes 5 minutes to mix and about 15 minutes to stuff the shells. It is a traditional Italian recipe and it is really good.
Ok, I just made this---not the BEST EVER, but pretty darn tasty and super easy...
Cherry Cheese pie
Beat an 8 ounce brick softened cream cheese with hand mixer till fluffy. Stream in one can sweetened condensed milk and mix together until creamy. Beat in 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour into a store bought graham cracker crust and refrigerate overnight or at least 3 hours. Before serving, top with one can chilled cherry (or blueberry!) pie filling and slice.
Oreo ice cream with whipped crean and a small slice of chocolate cake. YUM..
Slice ripe bananas, put chocolate pudding over them (I like the refrigerated Kozy Shack brand the best). Chop maraschino cherries and add it them. Stir it up and you can put Cool-Whip on top if you want.
For one tub of pudding, 22 oz., use 4 bananas and a small jar of cherries + the juice. You can make instant pudding instead, it's cheaper and large containers of pudding isn't available every where. you'll get raves and they will think you worked soooo hard. Good luck!
Miss Rachel's Chocolate Pudding

1/4 cup cocoa
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon real butter

get frozen cream puffs strawberries and white chocolate put the cream puffs and Berry's on a skewers melt the white chocolate and drizzle over the top of the berries and cream puffs or use any other frozen pastry
Panna cotta - and because you make it a day in advance, all you have to worry about when they arrive is plating it. You can make it in teacups if you don't have ramekins. And because it's very plain (though very good!) you very rarely have to worry about people not liking it.
This recipe is disgustingly easy, and delicious - I cheat and make it with imitation vanilla essence because I'm a poor student, but use proper vanilla extract if you're wanting to impress. You can either serve them in the teacups (saves plating) but looks much more impressive on individual small plates - serve on a drizzle of raspberry coulis.
Panna Cotta
Serves 6
Prep time 5 Min
Cook time 10 Min
Ready in 4 Hrs 15 Min
Ingredients
1/3 cup skim milk
1 (7gm) envelope unflavored gelatin
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Pour milk into a small bowl, and stir in the gelatin powder. Set aside.
In a saucepan, stir together the heavy cream and sugar, and set over medium heat. Bring to a full boil, watching carefully, as the cream will quickly rise to the top of the pan. Pour the gelatin and milk into the cream, stirring until completely dissolved. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and pour into six individual ramekin dishes.
Cool the ramekins uncovered at room temperature. When cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before serving.
Raspberry Coulis
Ingredients
2 pints raspberries (I'd just grab a bag of frozen berries)
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or cornflour, depending where you're from)
Directions
1Crush the raspberries with water in a saucepan.
2Add sugar and cornstarch.
3Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
4Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
5Push through a foodmill or strainer.
Now, to serve - Upend the panna cotta onto the side of a small plate, then just drizzle coulis or even chocolate ice-cream sauce in a zigzag or around the edge of it. Gives visual impact and a flavour contrast.
Oh and for squirting the coulis - just get an oven bag or freezer bag and cut a tiny hole in one corner, fill it up with the sauce and use like a piping bag. Easy.
