I love this one, courtesy of my great aunt. Pistachio pie.
1 Keebler graham crust
1 (15 oz.) can crushed pineapple slightly drained
1 pkg. pistachio pudding mix
1 container of Cool Whip
Stir together the pineapple and pudding mix. Let stand for about 10 minutes, fold in the Cool Whip, dump it into the crust, and chill for 4+ hours.
It's so easy, but it's luscious and light and fluffy. And good!
Ice cream :)
Chocolate Buttermilk Brownies
One cup unsalted butter
One-quarter cup cocoa
One cup water
Combine in saucepan, bring to a boil, and then cool.
Two cups sugar
Two cups flour
One-half teaspoon salt
One teaspoon baking soda
Sift dry ingredients and then combine with cooled cocoa mixture.
One-half cup buttermilk
Two eggs, beaten
One teaspoon vanilla
Red food coloring, paste or drops (4 drops)
Combine and then add to batter, mix, and pour into cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
Frosting
One-half cup butter
One-quarter cup cocoa
One-quarter cup buttermilk
Combine and heat in pan until warm.
One pound powdered sugar
One teaspoon vanilla
Dash salt
Add these ingredients to frosting cocoa mixture and blend. If necessary, add more buttermilk to thin frosting a bit. Spread over warm brownies.
This is my favorite southern desert!! Hint, serve with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
1-1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine
4 cups sliced fresh peaches
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon peel
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cut in butter with 2 knives until coarse (resembling corn meal). Combine peaches, lemon juice, lemon peel, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Spoon into greased 9-inch square dish. Sprinkle flour mixture over peaches. Bake covered for 15 minutes. Remove cover and bake 35 to 45 minutes longer.
Yield: 8 servings

DRIZZLE the sweetened balsamic mixture over berries and cookies, then add the add the whipped cream.
Repeat this process until the glass is full finishing with whipped cream.

To make the strawberry fan hold the berry vertically and slice almost to the top of the berry but leave the stem and leaves on it. Gently spread out the strawberry slices and that's it.
