Fruit Fluff Parfait

By Priya Poehner


Priya served this at a recent coffee hour, and it was a big hit--the bowl was nearly licked clean! She found it  here via Pinterest, so thank you to the original poster. It is light and delicious, and could not be easier.

I know this one is going in my file for the holidays--simple and tasty!


Ingredients:

• 2- 6 oz. raspberry yogurts (or your favorite flavor)
• 1- package vanilla instant pudding mix (3.4 oz. powder)
• 16 oz. whipped topping (Cool Whip)
• about 16 oz. your favorite fruits (Priya used frozen mixed berries, which gave it a delicious, frosty flavor)

Mix yogurt and vanilla pudding powder well, then fold in the whipped topping. You can either fold the fruit in or serve it over the top of the fluff, or in layers in a trifle dish if you want to get really fancy. ;-)

Cherry Pear Almond Crock Pot Dessert

by Sheila Merrill

 I made this and took it to one of the Wed. night dinners.  I came home with an empty crock pot.  It was a hit!

 

• 1  28 oz. can cherry pie filling
• 2  15 oz. cans diced pears in syrup
• 1   teaspoon almond extract
• 1   box yellow cake mix
• 1   stick butter, cut into small pieces
• 1   1.9 packet maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal
• Cool whip for topping 

 

Spray crock pot with butter flavored cooking spray, set aside.  In a large bowl, combine pie

filling, pears, (with juice) and almond extract.  Poor into prepared crock pot.  Sprinkle cake

mix over fruit mixture, dot with butter.  Sprinkle oatmeal over cake mixture.  Place a thickness of

 8 paper towels over crock pot and secure lid.  This helps to trap steam.  Cook on LOW 4-6 hours.

Do NOT lift lid for the first 3 hours.  Serve warm with Cool Whip.
