i really like sharing recipes. i truly enjoy cooking(not baking so much because as we all know, baking is a science and cooking can be tampered with), but here is a recipe for a fun, light, easy dessert that i make when going to bible study or just as a quick treat at home.
whip cream pie
* depending on how many pies you want to make*
small container of cool whip(1 pie) or large container(for 2 pies)
1-2 raspberry or strawberry jell-o packets
frozen berries(i always choose mixed berries- the kind with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, ect., but you could use any kind of berries or fruit you like.
1/4- 1/2 cup sugar
frozen pie crust(1 or two depending on the amount you want to make)
first i take the frozen pie shells and poke holes in the bottom with a fork and bake for 12 mins(or however long the directions say)
then you let the shells cool
next i nuke the berries on auto defrost until soft, then i place them in a bowl and add sugar(since the berries you buy are unsweetened and will be very tart, you can add as much sugar or as little sugar depending on your taste buds)
after i mix the berries and sugar i get a large bowl and add my cool whip and pour in the berries and mix all together
after that i pour the mixture into the cool pie shells and set in fridge to set up.
my son, daylee loves, loves, loves this dessert and he always wants to "help" me in the kitchen and this is something he can do without much help... it is just a bunch of mixing and stirring.
i hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
That sounds yummy. Reminds me of church potlucks (in a good way). I love to cook, too. I actually like to bake as well, but don't do it as often because then I eat whatever I bake!
ReplyDeleteOoooh. This sounds SO good to me right about now... I was really wishing you were around the other day because I was craving that sausage and peppers with mashed potatoes thing you make. Can you tell I'm hungry right now?
ReplyDeleteKid friendly recipes are the best, thank you!
ReplyDeleteUmm... Whatever it is Joanna is talking about sounds amazing. I'm going to have to get myself invited over next time your in town. :)
