Blog Party ~ Simple and Sweet Desserts

Tea Party

Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by today because we are having a party…and not just any party – a Simple & Sweet Desserts party!

So please pour yourself some tea (or coffee!) and enjoy all the lovely desserts. :)

First we have Ashley’s Classic Anisette Cookies. They’re just adorable and look so tasty! 

She shares, “These Classic Italian Anisette Cookies are incredibly easy to bake. They have a sugary glaze complemented by pastel sprinkles, making them the perfect spring dessert!”

Next, we have Amanda’s Oreo Pudding Cake. What a treat!

“This is a recipe that I threw together after viewing a similar dish on Pinterest. It was one of those moments when I was browsing around, I meant to pin it, got distracted by babies and promptly forgot all about it. I had the basic idea, so I threw together the ingredients and came out with a really yummy cake. We took this to a recent pot luck lunch at our church and it was a big hit.”

 Courtney brings a wonderfully fast and chocolate-y recipe she calls Cake in a Cup. I love that kids can make it!  
 
“Here’s our favorite dessert to make from scratch – you can actually make it in the microwave and it’s quick and
kid-friendly (just don’t ask the kids to describe the final outcome….see the blog – haha)”

I decided to bring my Peanut Butter Cookies.   

These are soft and kinda-sorta light (though you *can* use butter if you so desire), and delicious!

Camilla & Louisa have graced us with their lovely Moods of Norway Waffles. Yum, please invite me next time!
 
“Waffles… Those tasty little heart shaped treats. A huge favourite with most Norwegians, us lot included. Especiallywhen enjoyed on the beach in your swimsuits, with sandy hands and sticky jam. Oh, year-round-warm-sunny-weather of Dubai,how we heart you.”

Renee brings a wonderful Easy Vegan Pudding . I definitely plan to try this!

“It really is amazing.. I could just imagine someone throwing this together when a child with allergies or vegan comes to a birthday party or something… I mean one great thing about vegan food is that it is good for kids with dairy allergies and egg allergies, right?”

Anastasiya displays her tempting Coconut Macaroons. I am a big fan of coconut, and these are calling my name!

“…they do not have any dairy. Just coconut, eggs, and sugar. Yes I made them with white sugar. These sweet innocent cookies have white death in them. But they taste so delicious and me not eating dairy I thought I could handle a little of the poison.”

Sarah shares some healthy and scrumptious chocolate Brownies!

“I love to bake and I love chocolate.  But I am really trying to present better food (and desserts!) to my family.”

Next, we have Anna’s Chocolate Tofu Mousse. Such a healthy and sweet treat!

“We make this all the time. It may be a contributing factor to the ongoing happiness of our marriage.” *grin*

And here are Christine’s festive Truffles.   
 
“I recently made these for a birthday party! They are so simple to make and take your classic rice krispie treat to
the next level. They are perfect to take to a party and impress your friends.”

Monica has brought her absolute favorite dessert, a Sour Cream Spice Cake. It sounds wonderful!

“This also works great as a bunt cake. This recipe was taken from a Betty Crocker’s cook book.” 

♥ ♥ ♥

Marie shares her Tangy Fruit Salad. I’ve never met a fruit salad I didn’t like, and this one is just asking to be made! 
 
“This tangy fruit salad was a wonderful dessert the other night. The sweetness of the fruit combined with the tang of the fruit dip provides a complex enough flavor to just say, delicious!”

Next are Dominic’s Key Lime Pie Cupcakes. Such a great twist on the classic dessert! 
 
“These cupcakes are the perfect fix for any sweet tooth. They have a refreshing lime cake with a graham cracker frosting to resemble all the satisfaction of a key lime pie in cupcake form.”

Alyssa Strawberry Pretzel Salad This is so fancy and yet also breeze to make! 
 
She says, “This is one of my favorite desserts, I first tasted it while attending Clearwater Christian College and it took me FOREVER to find the recipe! But it left such an impression that I searched forever for it.” :)

Here we have Amy’s Fudgy Chocolate Cake. Oh, you’ve got to love a homemade
chocolate cake, especially one that’s easy!  
 
She says, “I know that a cake made 100% from scratch doesn’t really fall under the “easy” category, but the frosting does! The fudgy frosting is made in the microwave with only 3 ingredients. It’s hard to get better than that!”

And finally, we have Sanaa’s Vanilla & Chia Seed Pudding. With only a few ingredients, this is a simply sweet dessert, indeed!
 
She says, “Garnish with dried nuts or any fruit of your choice. I also sprinkled a little bit of desiccated coconut.”
