Dessert ideas.

[winelady]

My ds's p.t.o.is putting on a luncheon for the teachers and staff tomorrow and I volunteered for dessert. I want to make something really good but not too difficult to make. Any summery ideas?

Paula Deen's Not Your Mamas Banana Pudding. Best ever.

Brownies. Simple, but delicious, and pretty much universally loved.

Ina Garten's French Apple Tart.

I've made this a bunch of times and it comes out consistently.

I like taking the tubes of cookie dough and cutting up rolos and gently pushing them into the dough, so you end up with double chocolate caramel cookies.

I had to make something the other weekend, but had very little time to do it. I ended up making a box mix ( gluten free actually, very dense) chocolate sheet cake in a 9x13 pan, then topped with fresh whipped cream and berries. I did blueberries and raspberries. very easy, and tasty!

I made a tres leches cake last night that was awwwesome, and pretty easy. I like the brownies idea, or ohh, blondies. Yum.

You can't go wrong with brownies.

Please make it easily portable! A lot of time when people bring in food for teachers, it is hard to get to during lunch breaks and might need to be eaten at a later time.

I also made a tres leches cake last night! I used Pioneer Woman's recipe and it was really tasty, and easy to do.

Like jssymom14 said, though, this might not be the best recipe if the dessert will be sitting out a while. My go-to brownie recipe is Hershey's Best Brownies. If you use the Special Dark cocoa, they come out really rich and chocolatey - these get demolished whenever I bring them anywhere.
