There is this 3 Fave Desserts thread What Are Your 3 Favorite Desserts?

This thread is about No Bake Treats and Desserts. :slightly_smiling_face:

There is some overlap, but I couldn’t find a No Bake thread on HO.

Rinse and de-stem 16-24 oz seedless grapes, putting them into a freezer bag. Sprinkle with the contents of a regular size (4-serving) pouch of flavored gelatin, whatever flavor you want. Seal, shake thoroughly, and keep in the freezer. When you remove a portion to a bowl, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before consuming. They are very refreshing, and a good way to introduce little kids to “cooking”.

I used to love this at Damian’s in Houston. Top an orange, remove the fruit and let it sit a while in white wine. Put it back in the skin. Top it with orange rind shavings taken from the top that you macerated in coarse sugar.

What is sex in the pan? I’ve heard of better than sex cake, but it’s baked.

That reminds me of something I winged a few years ago. Peel a blood orange, slice into thin rounds, overlapping them in a circle, on a dessert plate. Top with a small scoop of either honey nut cream cheese or plain mascarpone, drizzle with pomegranate molasses/glaze, or with honey. The pomegranate is prettier.

Sex in a Pan is a refrigerated layered dessert with 2 layers of pudding and a crumb or cookie base.

Thank you - I’ve even had it! But it was boringly named chocolate 7 layer dessert or something like that. :rofl: It is good! If I make it I’ll refer to it by the new name - much better. Thanks for linking the recipes, that last one has an interesting twist.

One of my pals makes up sex in a pan, like your recipes essentially, it’s the salty nut stuff on the bottom which makes it best…he’s Canadian too for whatever that’s worth…there’s a better iteration IMHO that has the same salty pecan base, cream cheese cake kind of middle and blueberries with some kind of blueberry sauce on top…

Note: if you’re in LA or NYC you can buy it at the Magnolia Bakery and it’s called Blueberry Jamboree

Have you tried Pittsburgh Strawberry Pretzel Salad? Pretty addictive.

I haven’t and I wouldn’t say no. I like salty and sweet together and have a preference for fruit desserts.

Tops being this, which is also not baked…

Today I made pizza pockets and they were even tastier than I thought they’d be. Quick pizza dough, puréed tomatoes drained of excess liquid over a sieve and seasoned with salt, some oregano, and garlic powder plus some olive oil and sugar. Filled with soppressata, leftover queso de hoja, and black olives for some. Cooked on a griddle. So good! I think I’ll freeze some for later.

Thanks @Nannybakes

And the other no-bake project for today: mango cream donuts. I made some mango and passion fruit jam some weeks ago, so I put some of that in these along with whipped cream flavored with vanilla bean and some sliced sliced mango.
