Apple crisps are always my solution! They're great to serve in the sukkah, especially for people who live in the North (not that we know where you live, freilich LOL

) And they freeze very well. And they're easy to make, as long as you have someone to peel and cut the apples. See the recipe collection for my version. I also make apple-cranberry cobbler often, and it freezes pretty well.

Otherwise, how about cake and tea? Hungarian apple cake is great, roll out two layers of flaky or pie dough to cookie sheet size, sprinkle one layer with bread crumbs, layer with thinly sliced apples (slice them in the food processor and squeeze out the extra juice), sprinkle with sugar according to the apples' tartness and cover with the second layer of dough. Prick the dough and bake. Cut into squares, sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve!

I just noticed all my suggestion are apple-linked. Well, it's the season for them, isn't it?

if you have the best of the Heimishe cookbook there's a yummy strawberry dessert there....sorry, it's similiar to ice cream, freilich. I don't have the patience to get out my cookbook right now, but basically it's marshmellow fluff, strawberries (frozen) and whip - in a pie shell frozen.
let me know if you're interested in the full recipe

Hey everyone!!! I just joined and saw this posting, I knew I had to add my FAVORITE! You need:
Pre-cut frozen flaky dough squares (the 10 in a pack)
Baking Apples
Good Quality Parve Chocolate

You peel and core apples and then cut in half. Take and flaky fough square and put half of apple inside and top with 1 square of chocolate. Bring all corners together (pinch tightly) and brush square with egg. Bake at 350 till golden brown. This is soooooooo easy and delicous. The chocolate melts together with apple and its sooo good.

what about a regular chocolate cake- you can put on a white glaze or chocolote frosting.
if you do the apple pie- serve it warm! yum! especially w/ ice cream, but I know you're not looking for anymore ice cream.
pareve cheesecake?
I have a chocolate chip cake recipe somewhere.
kosher pallette has a yummy "better than drake's coffee cake"

If you are looking for cheap, easy and refreshing desserts try fruit soup or fresh fruit salad. Frelich I know you did not want a fruit platter but these are not platters Very Happy

This Friday I found out late afternoon that a friend was having a get-together. I wanted to send something nice for dessert, so this is what I made.

Take pre-cut frozen flaky dough squares. Cut each square in four.
Bake the tiny squares until puffed and golden. When it is still warm, cut a small slit on one side, fill with custard(I bought ready made in the grocery.)
Dust with confection sugar.

rigliachi:

1- start w/ a thin chocolate cake (I use a duncan heins mix and divide the batter int 2 pans)

2- 8 oz of richs whip (or any nondairy whip)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
whip till thick, pour over cake, smooth and freeze

3- 3 eggs
2/3 cup confectioners sugar
beat 10-15 minutes w/ mixer.

1 1/4 cups chocolate bits
3 1/2 tblsp cocoa
2 tblsp oil
melt together. blend into egg mixture. pour over frozen cream. freeze again. take out about 20 minutes before serving. (ofr the cake will be too frozen to eat.)

for pesach, I make this w/ pesach choc cake recipe-and everybody loves it!

shanie, I assume your chocolate cake is baked first, before you add the toppings. tell me if otherwise.

For Shabbos we were back to apple compote for dessert and it came out great, without any sugar added. I put in very little water, so the sweet apple flavor is undiluted. This time I mixed cortlandt and macintosh apples, with cinnamon and golden raisins (not important which kind, but maybe the flavor was better this time.) Sometimes I put in cinnamon sticks. Simple and delicious, served cold.

how about ambrosia (I don't know the recipe, just tasted it by someones house and it was delicious, maybe someone else knows?)

another delicious desert is pecan pie (great recipe on the back of Karo corn syrup)

or pareve cheese cake?

or even - really simple - cut fruits up into chunks (ex: stawberries, pineapple, kiwi) and mix with whipped desert topping.

sticky date pudding - look on www.cooks.com for an easy recipe. you can make tons of them in little aluminium pans and just take out however many u need form the freezer - microwave/oven(covered) and serve with icecream adn butterscotch sauce.

chocolate mousse cake p. 473 in purple spice and spirit is always a hit and is YUM. and if you take frozen mangoes or fresh and just puree them into a syrup pour that on top with strawberries ands some whipped cream.

honey cake that is very moist can also be cut up and heated and served like pudduings.

I had a chocolate peanut butter pie at someone's house - don't know the recipe but itw as FANTASTIC

andddddddd to enhance any of your desserts - put 1 cup (or more) of sugar in a pot on the stove - continuously stir for 15-20 mins until the sugar melt snad becomes really clear and syrupy. pour in nuts - either slivered or flaked almonds or whatever and then pour intoa greased jelly roll pan. when set break up by hitting it hard with a metal spoon.
