Dessert recipe??

jenlsheck

Does anyone have any good dessert recipes for a BBQ, I am feeding about 15-20 people? I kind of want something easy and something kids will like..

I have a receipe for Candy Bar Dessert. Basically, Chocolate pudding, cool whip, oreo's cream cheese and candy bars. It's wonderful, but not for someone on a diet that's for sure. Let me know if you are interested. I can get the receipe to you.

Apple snicker salad

4 large apples... what ever kind you like, I usually use Granny smith to offset some of the sweetness
cut into thin bitesize pieces

2-3 large snickers bars.... refrigerate for about 30 min then cut into bite size pieces

1 tub of cool whip topping... can use the light variety to cut the calories a bit

Mix everything together in large bowl and enjoy.

You can adjust amounts to the size crowd you are serving. I have never calculated total calories, so I don't know the numbers sorry.

I know it probably sounds weird but it is really good. My best friend Shannon brought it to a work potluck many years ago and I have been hooked ever since.

Mango Pudding

1. 2 ripe mangoes - peel and cut into cubes
2. 2 whole eggs- beaten well
3. thickened cream - 1 small carton
4. jelly crystals - 1 pkt mango flavour and 1 pkt of lemon flavour - dissolve these in 400 ml boiled water (try 200 boiling, stir until melted then 200 cold)

Mix well 1.+ 2.+3. Can use electric beater or big spoon.
Then add these to the cooled but not set jelly..
Pour into mould (tupperware jelly mould is easier to pour out and looks great on dinner table)
Refrigerate until jelly is firm.

I haven't actually tried this, I was going to make it for Christmas (I am in Australia) but it sounds like it would be good for a BBQ?

Or could you make up a big batch of Chocolate Self Saucing pudding? I can go find that recipe if you want it, not sure if it is an "Aussie" thing - it's dead easy and I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like it :laugh:

I make a pretty good cheese cake type pie with reduced fat graham crust (I buy the one with 0 trans fat; read the labels!) 1 box of cheesecake flavored sugar free, fat free pudding mix, 1/2 c. fresh strawberries (sliced) OR 1/2 c. fresh blueberries, 1/2 tub cool whip (I usually choose either fat free or sugar free), 1 c. milk. Fruit for garnishing.

Mix the pudding mix and milk. Add fruit and let beat to mash and distribute. Fold in cool whip. Spread in crust and refrigerate to set. Relatively low cal considering the alternatives.

BBQ'd banana..
Peel Banana's place in foil with a little butter and natural honey, wrap to make a parcel and throw on the BBQ - delicious.

People keep telling me to avoid butter,but it is so much healthier than artificial butters or margarine, so a little is ok, as is real honey

There are delicious non hydrogenated alternatives to butter that are far better (health wise). Smart Balance is one of them...

There's a weight watcher recipe that uses the following:

4 apples cubed
1 container fat-free, sugar free cool whip
1 package fat-free, sugar-free butterscotch pudding
1 can crushed pineapple, in its own juice

Mix the pudding in the pineapple. Add cubed apples, then cool whip. Allow to sit overnight. Not sure the calorie count but it's AWESOME!!!

You could also do a low-fat banana pudding with fat-free, sugar-free vanilla or banana pudding, nilla wafers, fat-free, sugar free cool whip and bananas cut up.

Our new favorite recipe is smores using the honey grahams cereal. Mix honey grahams, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips, put it in a 9 by 13, heat in oven (I think 350) until marshmallows and chocolate are melty, and then remove. I let it cool bc it is a little messy. Cut into pieces, may be sticky. These are good. I haven't had them in awhile because I can seriously eat the whole pan. Another idea we have done is smores, but instead of graham crackers using chocolate chip cookies. Okay, isn't this called my fitness pal, not make me fat pal. Sorry. I am sure some fruit kabobs would be great too.

Recipe for Trifle - One Easy Recipe, Endless Possibilities. This trifle recipe is a lifesaver when you have to feed a crowd. Using cake and custard mixes, it's fast and easy to make, and it looks spectacular
Ingredients

The Basic Recipe:
1 cake mix ( see notes below)
2 packets of custard or pudding mix (see note above)
2 bags, 1 pound each, frozen fruit or equivalent sliced fresh fruit
1/3 cups sugar (more or less to taste)
1 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped (or to save time, use whipped topping)
additional fresh fruit for garnish
1/3 cups sherry or other liquor (optional)

Directions

Basic Instructions:
Prepare cake according to directions on package. Let cool completely.
Prepare custard or pudding mix according to package instructions. Let cool completely.
Mix fruit with sherry. If you don\'t want to use alcohol, use a little water or juice instead. You want the fruit to be sitting, but not swimming, in a bit of sweetened juice. Some people like to really soak the cake in the alcohol, then add the fruit on top. I think this can tend to make the cake too soggy, so I prefer less.
Whip the cream.
To Assemble: Trifle is very forgiving, it takes no effort to make and it looks great! If you don't have a trifle bowl, like the one in the photo, use any large glass bowl. It doesn't technically have to be glass, but it looks prettier if it is. You can also make individual servings by placing the layers in large wine goblets.
Cut the cakes into large chunks and cover the bottom of your dish with a layer of cake. Top with a layer of prepared fruit, then a layer of custard. Repeat the process until you are out of ingredients or the bowl is full. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit. Chill until serving time.
To Serve: Simply scoop out servings with a large spoon.

There's only one brand, and only one size. It's by Jell-O, and it's the 4 serving (small) box. I find it at both Wal Mart and one of my regular grocery stores (Publix).

You're spot on! These guys are pushing the envelope!

Another really delicious dessert that I have made was an angel cake, sliced in half across the middle (like a layer cake). I then mixed 1 container of cool whip (fat free) and one container of fat free cream cheese and spread on the inside of each and put sliced strawberries (this makes it so that it's cake, cheese/cool whip, strawberries, cheese/cool whip, and cake). Put it back together, and fill the middle with strawberries (Or don't; that's what I did because it was pretty).

Thank-you Ladies, I saved a few recipes, the snicker salad I have had before except with grapes instead of apples, it was delicious.

Switty_Kitty

I call it...Cracker Cake. Delicious and low fat
3-4 sleeves Unsalted Crackers
2 boxes fat-free vanilla pudding mix
3 Cups Skim Milk
1 Tub Low or Ultra Low Fat Dream Whip Topping.
1 Tin of Cherry or Blueberry pie filling....or use real strawberries!

Prepare 2 packets of pudding using the 3 cups of skim milk (not 4, as the directions call for). Mix together with whip topping.
Place a layer of crackers on the bottom of a 9x11 baking dish.
Top with a layer of pudding/whip mix...just enough to cover 1/3"thick.
Top with crackers, pudding, crackers, pudding......however much til you run out of pudding mix.
With the pudding as your last layer, top with pie filling or berries!
Refrigerate for an hour.

This is so good, despite the "low fat" whip cream and skim milk. Its my alternative to cheese cake.

BBQ'd Banana's


I have had this before also but not in such a healthy way, you used butter, brown sugar, lemon juice and spiced rum, it makes an excellent sauce and you serve it on top of french vanilla ice cream or vanilla bean....yummy, yummy, yummy.
