Dessert Recipes!

I have included my collection of dessert recipes that are my family's favorites. Some are very easy and quick to make while others are more complicated and take more time.

If you can measure ingredients and know how to mix, then you will be able to create and master all of these delicious desserts.

Dessert Hints

• Add confectioner's sugar to whipping cream before beating. The whipped cream stands up well even if it is not used right away.
• To make powdered sugar, blend 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a blender at medium speed for two minutes.
• To add a delightful flavor to whipped cream, add a teaspoon of strained honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. It will remain firm all day.
• Whipped cream retains its shape if while whipping you add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of light corn syrup per half pint of cream.
• Add a tablespoon of powdered orange-flavored drink mix, such as Tang, to a cup of whipped topping for a flavorful, different taste. Good over gingerbread or pumpkin pie.
• Soak peeled apples in cold water to which 1 teaspoon of salt has been added. They will not discolor.
• A tasty sauce for baked apples can be made by mixing honey and whipped cream.
• Substitute 3/4 cup honey for 1 cup sugar up to 1 cup total.
• When using honey, reduce the total amount of other liquids by 1/4 cup per cup of honey in the conventional recipe.
• Reduce baking temperature 25 degrees to prevent over-browning when cooking with honey.
• To melt chocolate, grease the pan in which it is to be melted.
• A pinch of salt added to very sour fruits while cooking will greatly reduce the amount of sugar needed.
• Keep apples, bananas, pears and other fruits from discoloring when cut-up by coating them with orange juice or diluted lemon juice.
