ENJOY!
Trifle is a yummy dessert (in a large bowl line bottom with cake, jam roll is nice, then put fruit on top of that then jelly on top of the fruit then custard or cream or both if your feeling indulgent on the very top). Apple crumble is also good (mix together some rolled oats, coconut, brown sugar, wholemeal flour, butter and ground nutmeg. put on top of some diced bakers apples put in the oven for 20 Min's, serve topped with custard or ice- cream).
This is not a very different recipe but it is a VERY good one for cheese cake. Mix in bowl 1 big container of cool whip with 2 cream cheese about 1tbs of REAL vanilla and sugar to your liking. Split it into two gram cracker crusts top with cherries. And the best thing is it only costs about 5.00 to make and the whole family will love it i promise.
um... ice cream??? the best recepi is easy, you just get like, $10 and buy them from the closest store near you.
