Default Easter Sunday - dessert - 6 recipes

I'm considering these:

Trouble with the first one is that it says it serves 8 -- I need at
least twice that many servings. I'm thinking about the third one.
I was asked to bring "a fluffy dessert" as opposed to a pie or something.

The last one is looking most promising -- Cool Whip's bound to be on
sale. . . . and it requires advance prep -- a day or so so those mints
dissolve. AND I've got those in house! Hoo-yah! Oreos on the shopping
list, I see.

Lemonade Angel Fluff

Recipe By: posted to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller 4-4-2006
Serving Size: 8
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1 cup evaporated milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup pink lemonade concentrate
red food coloring optional
4 cups angel food cake cubes

Chill milk (I used lowfat evaporated) and mixer beaters in metal mixing
bowl (I used 2-quart glass Pyrex measure). Cover and chill for at least
2 hours (I put in freezer for an hour or so then moved to fridge when it
started to freeze around the edges). In a small saucepan, sprinkle
gelatin over cold water, let stand for 2 minutes to soften. Stir in
sugar; heat until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Remove from heat,
stir in lemonade concentrate and food color, if using. Cover and chill
until slightly thickened (like egg whites). Gradually add to chilled
milk; beat until light and fluffy. Fold in cake cubes. Pour into an
8x4x2" loaf pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and chill for
at least 2 hours. Remove from pan and cut into 8 slices. (No advice
given about how to remove from pan -- loosen with hot water?)

Angel Food Dessert

Recipe By: posted to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller 4-4-2006
Serving Size: 1
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
2 eggs separated
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 pkg. lemon-flavored gelatin (3 oz.)
1 pint heavy cream whipped
1 small can crushed pineapple drained
1 small bottle maraschino cherries drained and cut up
1 angel food cake
Whipped cream

Separate eggs. Beat egg yolks; set whites aside.

Mix beaten yolks, milk and sugar in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium
heat, stirring constantly, just to boiling. Remove from heat. Sprinkle
in the lemon gelatin and stir until dissolved; cool. If custard curdles
when lemon gelatin is added, beat with mixer until smooth.

When custard begins to congeal, beat egg whites and fold them in. Fold
together whipped cream, pineapple and cherries. Fold cream mixture into
custard mixture.

Break cake into small pieces. Put half of cake in bottom of 9x13² pan.
Top with half the custard, then remainder of cake and custard. If
necessary, push cake pieces into custard. Cover and refrigerate a few
hours or overnight.

Serve topped with whipped cream. Makes 15 servings.

Raspberry Angel Ring

Recipe By: posted to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller 4-4-2006
Serving Size: 15
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1 package raspberry gelatin powder (Jell-O, 3 oz pkg)
1 1/4 cups boiling water
dash salt
10 ounces frozen raspberries
1 cup heavy cream whipped
1 loaf angel food cake (10x4x2")

Rub brown crumbs off cake and tear or cut cake into 1-1/2 - 2" pieces.
Dissolve gelatin and salt in the boiling water. Add berries and stir
until thawed. Chill until partially set, then whip until fluffy. Fold
in the whipped cream. Loosely arrange half of cake pieces in bottom of
pan. Pour half of the gelatin-cream mixture over. Repeat with
remaining cake and gelatin. Chill until firm -- 2-4 hours?
‹‹‹‹‹
Notes: Rather like Anne's chocolate angel dessert -- only with Jell-o.
Light and refreshing. Though the recipe says "ring," Marge did it in a
9x13" pan. It wasn't very deep.... I'd consider a smaller pan for a
deeper end result.
