These were so much fun I just had to feature them for a Fun Friday post!
A few weeks ago we hosted our daughter’s First Communion at our house. Besides cake, we had several other desserts and today I wanted to feature one of them.
My friend Paula had sent me this cute little 48 piece mini dessert set in the mail, a set from Mozaik. When she saw it in a store near her, she said she thought it would be perfect for First Communion, and she was right.
Around the same time, the girls and I had attended an event at our local library that I covered for the newspaper. Advertised as a Teen Cooking Challenge, the kids had to each create their own healthy trifles, using pudding, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.
I never imagined that I’d find my First Communion dessert at a kids’ cooking event at our local library!
When I saw the kids’ trifles, I knew I’d found my dessert, simple as it was, for First Communion.
And when I say simple, I mean really.simple.
The desserts I made were in two variations: Jello Sugar Free, Fat Free instant cheesecake flavored pudding or chocolate flavored pudding, prepared using skim milk, and topped with a low fat topping from Aldi’s that’s like Cool Whip. I topped the cheesecake desserts with fresh strawberries and the chocolate desserts with fresh blackberries.
Yup. That’s it!
Each little cup has a matching little spoon, which made for a really cute, yet seemingly elegant, healthy dessert! They were such a hit, there were just a couple of them left over at the end of the day.
There are so many cute ideas that you could use this set for, both desserts and appetizers. Picture a healthy veggie dip in the bottom with a few celery, zucchini and carrot sticks sticking out, or picture individual shrimp cocktail sauces with a few shrimp. Perfect, right?
Right.
And that, my friends, is my Fun Friday post for today!
Enjoy your weekend!
