Cheesecake salad

This Summer I discovered the BEST

dessert!

You will need:

1 large pkg Jello Cheesecake Pudding mix

1 cup milk

8 oz Cool Whip

1 sleeve of graham crackers

1/2 stick of butter melted

1T sugar

any fruit you like

So easy, here it goes.

Take your pudding and add one cup of milk.

Let set up in fridge for 1 hour.

While cooling smash your graham crackers

and combine with butter and sugar.

Easy to do in a large ziplock bag.

Set aside.

When pudding is set up combine with Cool Whip.

Fold in some of your graham cracker topping,

and any fruit you like.

I prefer blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.

Sprinkle top with more graham topping.

You will love it, and it will be the hit of your next gathering.

crumbs in them like usual}

Oreo Pudding Poke Cake

Ingredients:

1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix

Ingredients needed to make cake (usually eggs, oil and water)

2 (4 oz.)packages of Instant Oreo pudding

4 cups milk (2% or higher)

Crushed Oreo Cookies (optional)

 

 Directions

Make cake mix according to directions and bake in a well-greased 9x13 pan (I use the nonstick spray that has flour in it).

Just before cake is done, start making pudding. 
In a medium bowl, add milk to pudding mixture and continue to whisk until most of the lumps are removed. 
Let pudding mixture sit for about 2 minutes. 
You want it to thicken slightly so it isn't overly runny but not fully thickened into pudding.

When cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over cake (about 1-inch) intervals
 using a wooden spoon handle or a straw. 

Pour pudding mixture over warm cake, making sure to aim for the holes.

 pread it out with a spoon and gently push down on the pudding to help get it into the holes.
Then put the cake in the refrigerator to allow it to cool completely. About an hour.

Apple Dip

1 package of cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Blend all together until smooth.

You will need apples, popcorn and dip. 

 Take apple wedge, dunk into dip then roll in popcorn.  

DONE.

Poptart Pops

FOR THE TWO-BITE POPTARTS

1 pkg. prepared pie crusts

Pie filling, any flavor

FOR THE POPS
wooden popscicle sticks

FOR THE GLAZE
1 c. powdered sugar
1-2 T. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
food coloring and sprinkles (optional)

Unroll pie crusts and using a pizza cutter to slice them into 1 1/2″x 2″ rectangles (I used a ruler to measure mine into equal sizes. Just use a butter knife to score your pie crust before cutting).

Place a wooden popscicle stick on top of one of the cut rectangles, then spoon a small amount (about 1 1/2 tsp.) of filling into the center of the pie square, taking care not to get it near the edges. Gently lay a second rectangle over the top of the filling. Press the edges of the rectangles together with a fork. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake poptart pops in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or just until the edges begin to brown.

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make glaze. Tint with food coloring, if desired. Spoon over cooled poptart pops, sprinkle with colored sugar, and allow to the glaze to harden slightly before serving. Enjoy!
