Desserts

This is one of my favorite deserts to make and it’s always a hit. With very few ingredients you can make an excellent dessert.

Ingredients
1 can cherry pie filling
2 sheets Puff pastry dough
6 oz sliced almonds
5 tbs powdered sugar
1-2 tbs water

To Prepare

Heat oven to 420.

using thawed puff pastry unfold and cut into three sections where the folds were.

using a rolling-pin roll each section into about 14-16 inches long cut into thirds.

in the center of each rectangle add four cherries fold over and pinch together very firmly. Twist each long rectangle once and place on cookie sheet.

( I did not grease my cookie sheet because I used silicone liners if you don’t have one its one of the best things I ever bought.)

repeat and with all rectangles and bake once you have a full cookie sheet. bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and puffed. (if filling comes out gently push it back in with the back of a spoon and next time pinch more firmly.

Cool on cookie sheet

Glaze

mix powdered sugar with water mix well so its thick but runny, using a spoon drizzle all over twists and quickly sprinkle almonds on top

I have been very busy with a second baby at home, its not that easy adjusting since my little Maya is four years old. Baby Ella was born in November and so I need quick desserts, that I can come up with when company comes over. We have this tradition that goes as far back as I can remember. When baby is born you have guest that come and chat and admire your child that was born, coming from a large family we have them often. I will post about that later. But anyway this is a very easy dessert that is very tasty. Enjoy. This is so easy to make that little hands can help make it.

2 1/2 cups Animal / Vanilla Crackers

1 14 OZ condensed milk

2 sticks of butter (melted)

5 tbs coco powder

1 tbs Vanilla

in a large bowl break up cookies into small pieces I used half animal crackers half vanilla wafer cookies. add Walnuts.

Mix condensed milk, butter, coco powder and Vanilla until well combined.

Pour into cracker mixture and mix until well combined. *Take wax paper or plastic wrap and coated it with coco powder and put half mixture onto wrap. form into a log and firmly wrap it. Tie ends securely and leave it in the fridge or freezer overnight. or until firm slice and serve.

I used Sushi Roller mat to help me shape it. I think its very useful to have one at home.
