I love making dessert, so I voluntered that.  But it's hot out, and I'm not opposed to baking, just dont' want a heavy dessert.  I'm thinking maby fruit pizza, but don't have a recipe.  Or a truffle, or somthing!!!  Can you give me  ideas?  You don't necessarily need to give me the recipe, just the idea!

P.S. I got six hours to make this, I'm not really rushed.

Char ~ I just posted a bunch of no bake desserts here on recipes.  We are going to a friends to cook out tonight too and I'm going to make one of those.  Maybe the lemon cheesecake.  You can follow the formula for no bake cheesecakes in any flavor pudding you've got around ~ mix with some cream cheese and fold in whipped topping and put in a graham crust.

For a fruit pizza, bake a big sugar cookie from refrig. dough is fine.  Let it cool completely.  Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla or almond if you like (you can thin with a drop of milk to help spread if necessary).  Spread over the cooled crust.  Then, just top with whatever fruits you want.

rice krispies?

I bumped ooey gooey turtle bars for you too ~ sound great!

Hi

I use Sugar Cookie dough for my Fruit Pizza crust. 

Whip some cream cheese, add sugar and flavoring (your choice according to fruit used)) fold in whipped topping. Spread on crust and arrange fruit on top

Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust with a layer of sweetened cream cheese, layer of thick chocolate pudding and Cool Whip on top.  This is also a good one. Very good using Sugar Cookie Crust and lemon pudding

Use what you have in your pantry and freezer, you will be surprised at the combinations that are very good.

oh man!  This reminded me of a big hit pie I once made!  You start with a chocolate rice crispy type crust, and then fill it with icecream, and chocolate sauce, and I think somthing crunchy on top also!  Oh my, it is wicked!  Rice Crispy chocolate pie!  ha ha, I'm so evil!

 you could make that chocolate cream cheese pie i made you... just use a graham crust or something instead of baking the crust.. that way it wont heat up the house.

let me know if you make the rice krispie pie... lance would love that---okay i would love that, and probably not share!!  LOL

Strawberry shortcake is always great!

I just thought of something that would make it even easier for this trifle!! They sell containers of brownie bites at super walmart's(and probably other stores) in the bakery section! They are wonderul , would make this recipe super duper easy!! I think I know what I am going to bring to Christmas dinner this year!! (thank you Rosieny!)

 These are OUTSTANDING.  A friend brought this to work.  Everyone wanted the recipe.  I don't even drink coffee, but the coffee flavor in these is subtle.  Really good.  No one guessed that the base of these was a log of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. 

  Here ya go!

Mocha-Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars - I plan on making these this afternoon -- in a hurry to get to the grocery store I grabbed the recipe and noticed in the store (before I could check w/someone on the board) that it calls for 1 (1-ounce) pkg. of cream cheese.  Is this supposed to read 3 oz. or 8 oz. pkg. OR take 1 oz. from a 3 oz. pkg.? 

Hope someone can clear this up for me - will check back later.
