EASY LEMON DESSERT
2 eggs, beaten
juice of 1 1/2 lemons
1 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Combine ingredients and cook in a double boiler until thick. Allow to cool. Whip 1 cup cream. Fold into the lemon mixture.
Cover a shallow square glass pan with graham cracker crumbs, or alternatively, use a glass pie dish. Spread the lemon custard mixture on top.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut into squares if a square pan was used, or wedges if served from a pie dish.
This recipe has been a Summertime favorite which has been in our family for over 60 years.
Variation: These can be served in custard cups for individual servings.

Slice the cake, drizzle the sweetned strawberries on top of the cake, the add the cool whip. It's very good. Takes less than 2 minutes to make
really all depends on what you are looking for. I was looking at doing something simple before, and I got a fondue set, and did chocolate fondue with freshly cut fruit to dip it in! It was awesome... :) But there are TONS of receipes for stuff like that on TLC.com or foodnetwork.com. They rate the difficulty level and you can search based on ingredients!!
GL!
This time of year strawberry shortcake is a nice simple dessert. Take two pints of fresh berries and wash them, stem them and cut in half, add about 1/2 cup of sugar and stir- store in fridge for two to three hours. While you are buying the strawberries also buy a ready made angel food cake. Slice into generous wedges, place berries and some of the juice that will have formed over the cake slice and add whipped topping or whipped cream from a can and serve. Quite yummy and easy.

- a liqueur, sweet sherry or port
- nuts and cheese

Chocoate dipped strawberries. Melt a bag of chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave. Dip fresh strawberries in the chocolate, lay them on wax paper on a cookie sheet. Place in fridge till they set.
Note: Make sure the strawberries are thoroughly dried before dipping them.
Also, if chocolate gets too stiff before all the strawberries are dipped, then re-heat it in the microwave.
A Fruit Trifle is delicious, easy, and can be varied to suit your own individual taste:

Repeat until the bowl is full, ending with a layer of Cool Whip. Garnish with chocolate curls or whole berries and mint leaves if desired.
