I'm bringing dessert to someone for lunch and we're acquaintances. so I wanted to do something a little nice (therefore no bundt cakes, cookies or brownies). I want to stay away from peanut butter since im not sure about allergies.

Any ideas?

Blueberry Mixture:
1/2 CUP Sugar
1 TBSP Corn Starch
1 1/4 CUP Frozen Blueberries
1 TBSP Lemon Juice
Mix all Ingredients, Let simmer for 5 Min Uncovered. Then cover and Refrigerate.

Crust:
34 Squares Graham Crackers
2 TBSP Sugar
1/2 TSP Cinnamon
1 Stick Margarine
Crush Crackers, Combine with hand, Bake 15-20 Minutes on 350.

Ice Cream:
1 Cup Sugar
1 Instant Vanilla Pudding
1 16oz Whip
1 Coffee Creamer
1 Vanilla Sugar
Whip up the whip, add coffee creamer then rest of ingredients.

Put 1/2 Ice cream in round foil, drop in one blueberry at time throughout ice cream (1/2 of mixture), cover thin layer of crumbs,

Repeat layers, (ice cream, blueberry, crumbs)
For nicer look you can freeze between the two layers, but its not necessary. It might sound complicated when you read it but its really very simple. Whoever I gave this recipe to was amazed how fast and delicious this is.

What are the crumbs? I only see a crust, bluberries and ice cream?

thanks supermom!

no CM I don't think it is if I would have brought wine or candy it would've cost more than throwing together brownies. I make those things on a casual shabbos. if you don't agree y do you have to bother posting

trifle is nice I had company who once bought for dessert a small fresh fruit platter and a cookie platter was a big hit, someone else once bought a fruit crisp and a choc. pudding pie type thing again something for everyone I appriciate fruit crisp or pie but never make cuz no one else eats it.

Would you make an ice cream type dessert? I have a couple really good ones.

I would buy an Ice Cream Cake. You can get those for pretty reasonable.

thanks for the ideas

I'm going to make a ring ding cake that I forgot about - it's decadent and super pretty and maybe a strawberry soup wit it
