Ideas Please - Easy Dessert

ThinkingOutLoud — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 02:03:40 GMT

I need to take a dessert/treat to a party and prefer easy and inexpensive.

~ store bought is fine

~ theme is Christmas Fiesta

~ mess-free so no cinnamon (ie Churros) or powdered sugar (ie Mexican Wedding Cookies)

~ good for toddlers to adults (6 dozen)

~ easy to travel with

Any ideas? tia!

Check under the recipe forum, I posted a recipe for "Not yo mommas banana pudding" It's very easy and delicious. It appeals to everyone from little ones to adults and it's a favorite I make every Holiday. I hope you fine something you like rather that one or something else.

Keeping Mexican Fiesta themed:

Sopapilla Cheesecake Squares

Or since you need 6 dozen perhaps stick with a cookie ( and you said you didnt want powdered sugar or cinnamon dusting to keep it neat)

Cinnamon chip cookies with reg and green sprinkles folded in. I know my grocery store has cinnamon chips this time of year.

Mexican Chocolate Brownies with cayenne chili ( not for toddlers though)

Guava pinwheel cookies. You could buy refrigerator sugar cookie dough if you dont want to make yourself. Roll out dough, CHILL , spread store bought guava paste or jam, roll up like a jelly roll, slice and bake. You could sprinkle lIghtly with green sanding sugar before baking to make it more festive
Lime Curd Thumbprint cookies, a tiny bit of lime zest after baking or green sanding sugar on top before to jazz up.

Easiest ever Layer store bought ice cream sandwiches in a pan with cool whip Frost top with cool whip Add sprinkles. Usually 2 to 3 boxes of icecream and 2 tubs of cool whip will make a double layer iv a 9 x 13 pan Can use sugar free if needed Cut in squares to sserve

@LTT1 i only see these seasonly and Hershey makes them,. Im not a fan of the packaging as they are NOT chocolate so not easy to spot. Shrinkflation has shrunk to 10oz.

There are others online but more expensive

Lay small pretzels on baking sheet. Placed unwrapped rolo candy ( or Hershey Kiss) on too. Bake 4 minutes at 250. Top with pecan half or red or green M&M. Easy to transprt, easy to pick up and eat.

My suggestion for easy treat for Christmas Fiesta....

Buy Brownie Bites at grocery store. They are sold in bakery area at my store...in plastic container. Also buy tubes of red, green and white frosting. Put Brownie Bites on serving tray. Squeeze a dollop of frosting on each...some red, some green and some white. You can even put some colored sprinkles on top....have seen sprinkles in red, green and white also.

Most people of any age love brownies. Add the frosting and it represents Christmas and Mexican Fiesta!

Enjoy!

Last weekend I baked a chocolate birthday bundt cake for my daughter in law. When I flipped it out of the pan, it stuck - badly! That hadn't happened for several years. . .I ended up making some scratch chocolate pudding and I happened to have some whipping cream, which got whipped. Torn up chocolate cake, chocolate pudding and whipped cream got layered in my trifle bowl, covered with plastic and traveled (in an ice storm - what was I thinking???) for a birthday party. This chocolate trifle became a big birthday hit with adults/children, and may become the requested birthday "cake" next year!
