Need Desert Recipe to Feed 15+ People?

[PCCHeather0506]

I have a hostess who's having at least 15 people attend...and would like me to make a desert?! Any ideas?? I was thinking of maybe making an apple crisp pizza...Another consultant was tellling me about it....not sure exactly what it is though? Maybe that's an idea, I'll have to search for the recipe...anyone know it??

How about the Strawberry Amaretto pastries? Those are so good and they are PINK!!!

Any of the dessert pizzas can be cut into small sample servings. I like the Taffy Apple Pizza (in All the Best), but there are a bunch of them in the cookbooks.

Something made in the mini muffin pan would make 24 pieces.

Don't forget that we're just providing SAMPLES, not a full serving, so you don't actually need something huge.

Found this on Joyce's site... It sounds like what you're talking about.

My new favorite is the Lime-Berry Mousse Triffle. EASY and you can stretch it if you need to!

Apple Dessert Pizza

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teas salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil spread
1 egg
1 water
1 ground cinnamon
4 medium Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup apricot preserves
Yield: 10 servings

Preheat oven to 350*F. In large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 -cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in spread using pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add combined egg and water; stir until mixture forms a ball of dough. Place dough in center of 13" round baking stone. Roll dough into a 12" circle creating 1/2" lip around edge. Combine remaining 2-tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over bottom of crust. Peel, core, and slice apples with; cut apples in half. Arrange slices over crust beginning at outside edge, overlapping closely. Fill center with remaining slices to form blossom shape. Bake 40 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is light golden brown. Heat apricot preserves in microwave on HIGH 30-45 seconds or until melted. Brush over warm apples and crust. Serve warm or cool.

I have done t his for large crowds. And I doubled the filling and did not put them together with top and bottom. I used them seperate to not have to double the pastries. And I think they are easier to eat too. Does that make sense?

The trifles feed a whole bunch, and the brownie cup recipe made in the mini muffin pan makes 48 pieces, that would easily stretch for everyone. Search for mini muffin under the files here and you'll find recipes.

Wow-I totally forgot about the Trifles. I have yet to make one.
I went to observe my directors show last night and she made the Colossal Chopped Salad. It was HUGE but not a dessert. It looked so YUMMY though!

Has ayone noticed my favorite is PROFITEROLE PUFFS?! They're easy to make ahead, then you can fill and frost them at the show...quick and IMPRESSIVE!

Oooh-- those are good! I do love that recipe. People think that cream puffs are hard, but they're not. They're a good demo, too, because you can show people that the dough will look a little weird as you stir in the eggs, but it's supposed to be that way.

At our cluster meeting the other night, A girl made the strawberry cheesecake trifle it was SOOOO good, and she made it in about 20 mins. Really easy and really good, plus it was pink. Let me know if you want the recipe

I made the Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle last night and it was a big hit!!! Fast, easy and not alot of ingredients. It tastes light and not too sweet. Everyont liked it and I had one customer buy 3 Trifle Bowls - 1 for herself and 2 for upcoming wedding gifts.
