Chilled No Bake Dessert Recipes

By Jill Borash

Raspberry Revel

• 8 ounces of vanilla wafers
• 3/4 cup butter
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 pint frozen raspberries, thawed and drained
• 8 ounce container of whipped topping

Grease a 9 x 11-inch pan. Crush the vanilla wafers. (The easiest way to do this is to put the wafers in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.) Reserve 1/4 cup of the crushed vanilla wafers and put the rest in the bottom of the greased pan. Beat the butter, powdered sugar, eggs, and vanilla together. Put this mixture on top of the crumbs. Spread the mixture from the edges of the pan inward to help keep the wafer crumbs in place. Spread the drained raspberries on top of that mixture. Add the whipped cream and sprinkle the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs over the top. Refrigerate overnight. Serves 12.

Chocolate Mint Dazzle

• 18 graham crackers
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 (1 ounce) squares chocolate, melted
• 1 1/2 cup cream
• 1 package miniature marshmallows
• 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy

Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan. Crush the graham crackers and mix them with the 1/2 cup of melted butter and the sugar. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Cream the 1/2 cup softened butter and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl. Add in the eggs and melted chocolate. Beat well and spread the mixture over the top of the graham cracker crust. Beat the cream and marshmallows together and put that over the chocolate layer. Sprinkle the top with the crushed peppermint candy. Refrigerate overnight.

A quick note about raw eggs: According to the American Egg Board, the chance of salmonella is only 1 in 20,000 eggs. You can find out more at http://www.aeb.org/LearnMore/EggSafety.htm

I love just about any dessert that has ice cream involved.  Ice cream, after all, is my favorite food.  So when I saw this recipe I just had to share.  Plus it’s a no bake dessert which is my second favorite kind of dessert!

Frozen Peach Dessert Surprise Recipe

By Shelley Pogue

This is a great recipe for ice cream lovers; it will be a good recipe for the first batch of fresh peaches. It is also a good recipe for the family get together, or just a lazy hot summer afternoon. I am a peach fan, and when I have a recipe that calls for the fresh juicy peach, you will see it on this website! I hope that you enjoy this wonderful peach recipe.

Frozen Summer Peach Ice Cream Surprise Recipe:

• 1 ½ Cups of crushed/crumbs vanilla wafers, divided
• 2 ½ Cups sliced fresh peaches, or frozen peaches if they are out of season. Fresh peaches work the very best!
• ½ Cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
• ½ Tablespoon of a really good vanilla bean paste

1 Cup of softened Blue Bell Home-made Vanilla ice-cream if it is available, if not use a very good store brand in your area. If you have your own ice cream make you can make your own vanilla ice cream and use it if you prefer. This is an easy to make recipe, so we are using a store bought ice cream.

First you will spread half of the vanilla wafer crumbs in the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch baking dish. In a food processor or a blender you will add the peaches, sugar, lemon juice and the vanilla bean paste. You will run the blender or food processor for about a minute. You will stop the blender at least once to scrape down the sides to make sure you get all of the peaches and sugar blended until it is a smooth texture. You will then pour the peach and sugar mixture into a large bowl, and gently fold in ice-cream. You will then pour over crust and sprinkle any remaining cookie crumbs on top of the peach dessert. You will then cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about eight hours until good and frozen. When you are ready to serve this peach dessert you will then remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving. You should be able to get about 8 servings from this dessert, and there should be eight happy people after trying this easy to make peach dessert.
