Ambrosia is a dessert made from cooked apples inside a pie crust

Ambrosia is a traditional American dessert, and is made with cooked apples in a pie crust. The dessert comes together quickly and is delicious, but you should be patient. This pie needs to be refrigerated for about 4 hours before serving, although you can cut that time in half if you’d like. Otherwise, the pie will be too soft.

Ambrosia apples are non-GMO, and are available at most major grocery stores from November to March. The filling for this sweet treat is easy to make. Just cook the apples according to the recipe and you’ll have a delicious dessert. If you’re making the pie for the first time, don’t worry – the recipe is easy and you can even decorate the pie crust with cute shapes.

Vanilla cream pie is rich, silky, and indulgent yet so light and dreamy

A classic pie with layers of whipped cream and a flakey butter crust is the perfect way to celebrate your love of vanilla. It can be prepared days in advance and kept in the fridge until serving. If you want a more delicate texture, use less cornstarch or use vanilla bean paste instead of the bean. You can also use a cookie crust instead of a pie crust.

To make the pie filling, add heavy cream and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Transfer filling to the pie shell and chill for at least four hours before serving. To decorate, you can use raspberries or fresh berries. For a more traditional finish, you can serve this pie at room temperature. It will keep well for a day.

Ice cream is a dessert

A popular childhood treat is an ice cream float, also known as a coke float, soda float, or root beer float. The float was invented by Philadelphian Robert McCay Green in 1874, when he ran out of ice to use in his drinks. He decided to use ice from his ice cream in the drinks, which became a popular drink.

Italian ice cream is called spumoni, and it can be layered with different flavors or fruit bits. Spumoni is related to a classic Neapolitan combination of ice cream and a brownie or cake. Some ice cream flavors are layered together to form a dessert known as spumonfruit. If you can get a hold of a recipe for spumoni, you’re on your way to a sweet dessert of heavenly proportions.

Molten chocolate cake

When thinking of chocolate desserts, what springs to mind? Maybe the melting chocolate center of a delicious molten chocolate cake? There are many ways to create this decadent dessert. While some recipes may require a lot of effort, molten chocolate cake is simple to make, and is a delicious choice for any occasion. Let’s explore a few ways to prepare it.

The first thing to know about this delicious dessert is that it looks incredibly difficult to make, but you can create it at home in 13 minutes. You’ll need a microwave and ramekins that are coated with non-stick spray or a layer of butter and cocoa powder. Once the ramekins are prepared, you’ll need to melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir the mixture every fifteen seconds to avoid burning. If the microwave doesn’t work, you can place the bowl over a pot of simmering water.

Sour cream pound cake

This dense, moist, and decadent dessert is a perfect accompaniment to seasonal berries and whipped cream. Its fine crumb gives it a distinctive flavor. The classic pound cake recipe only calls for eggs, butter, and sugar, but adds sour cream to achieve the cake’s unique texture and tender crumb. Adding almond and vanilla extracts boost the flavor complexity.

The cake’s tender texture is due to room-temperature butter. Butter is soft and expands with air as you cream it. Cold butter won’t be as tender as softened butter. Adding baking powder helps add lift to the cake. You can also add berries, blueberries, or chopped nuts to the batter. If you don’t have a scale, be extra careful measuring.
