By Linda Carol Wilson

Do you enjoy serving desserts but don't like to spend a lot of time preparing them? These recipes will help you put together yummy desserts to serve to family and friends. Whether picnicing, poolside, or at the dinner table, these recipes are sure to please. Fruit Topped Angel Food Cake with Pineapple Filling is tasty and beautiful. It starts with a purchased angel food cake making it a simple to prepare dessert. I put blueberries as the fruit in the recipe because it is beautiful and blueberries go well with the pineapple filling. However, feel free to use your favorite berries or a patriotic collection of red and blue berries. Why not make some Easy Homemade Ice Cream. I remember the days of gathering around my grandparents old hand-crank ice cream freezer as we cousins took turns until the crank got too hard for us to turn. Today, you can just plug your ice cream freezer in make ice cream the easy way! (Or perhaps you still have an old hand-crank machine and your family can enjoy an old tradition.)
BLUEBERRY TOPPED ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE FILLING
1 can (20-oz) crushed pineapple in its own juice, do not drain
1 pkg (4-servings) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 pkg (10-oz) prepared round angel food cake
fresh blueberries for garnish
In a medium bowl mix the pineapple and juice with the dry pudding mix until well combined. Stir the whipped topping in gently. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Cut the cake into 3 even layers. Place the bottom layer on the cake plate and spread 1 1/3 cups of the pudding mixture over the cake. Add the middle layer of cake over the pudding mixture and add 1 cup of the pudding mixture over that layer. Add the top cake layer and spread the remaining pudding mixture over it. Refrigerate at least an hour before slicing to serve. Before serving, garnish with the fresh blueberries.
EASY HOMEMADE ICE CREAM
6 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cans sweetened condensed milk
9 cups milk
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract*
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, and the sweetened condensed milk. Stir in the vanilla and milk. Pour the mixture into your ice cream freezer, following the directions for your particular freezer. Serve this vanilla ice cream with an assorted of sauces and toppings, if desired.
*You can change the flavor of the ice cream from vanilla by using other flavored extracts such as banana, maple, lemon etc.
Enjoy.
