Hi all,

I'm going to visit my inlaws for this Easter weekend away and I always
bring them baked goods. But my oven isn't working at all so I'm thinking of
making some sort of no bake dessert but something that can travel wel, since
i's a 5 hours drive.

Got any suggestions?


Take care,
SPOONS

Go to the neighbor's and borrow their oven? Seriously, you are posting a
good question!

Hi Kili,

I thought of asking my neighbor but she works all day and I don't feel
comfortable to use her oven when she's not home or to use it at night after
she gets home, she's tired & I don't want to bother her.

Take care,
SPOONS

How about a key lime pie? It's quick and easy, and there is a no-bake
version that doesn't use eggs (though I think it loses something in
texture and consistency, it's still pretty good).

A pessimist believes all women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.

I've made lemon curd tarts with blueberries using store-bought graham
cracker crust tarts. If you want it really easy, mix a jar of lemon curd
with a small tub of mascarpone cheese, then spoon into the tarts and top
with blueberries (optional, of course). Very easy and tasty. Tastes even
better when you make the lemon curd yourself. Lemon-flavoured desserts are
very Easter-y, right? It's something you'd have to keep it cool/chilled
during the ride somehow, though.

Fruit salad is good, if you can keep it chilled. I would probably pick
up some desserts at a bakery.

Assemble the ingredients for a flan...or do a trifle. probably spelled that
wrong...you know that crumbled cake squares, custard, sliced fresh fruits,
booze (optional), whipped cream dealie layered in a very high sided
glass/plastic bowl. break a cake up, brush with booze put in bowl next
comes a layer of custard, then sliced fruit (macerated
strawberries, kiwi,rasberries... whatever)then whipped cream repeat as
necessary...some recipes call for a layer of jello as well.

both flan cakes and trifle cake can be purchased cakes. Both dishes would
travel well if chilled and assembled on arrival.

A pound cake with melted apricot jam as a sauce served on top of ice cream.
Toasted Cake works best.

I posted a dreamsicle pie recipe...takes less than 15 minutes to make but
needs at least 4 hrs in a fridge to set up a while ago in 2002 or 2003.

Wow, that really limits you, eh? I mean, a no bake, non frozen
dessert...hmmm....

How about making a pie that uses a cookie crums or graham crust? Banana
cream or coconut cream maybe? One really good one that my sister makes is a
graham crust, brushed with chocolate on the bottom and filled with coconut
custard, then topped with toasted coconut. A good cooler is all you'd need
to get it there in good shape. You can also do it in a rectangular pan to
make it fit the cooler better.

Otherwise...there's always a good fruit salad!

Make a cheesecake (non-baked of course) and use a crushed nut-crust.

Alternatively make a jumbo batch of rumballs...

When you get to town pick up some strawberries, whipping cream and some sort of
cake (pound, angel or plain spong) and make strawberry shortcake. Bring a box
of chocolates to round out the sweets.

Banana pudding, if you can keep it chilled during the drive.

Rice crispie treats -- quick, simple and one of those childhood
goodies that's still really good.

Does your stovetop and electric mixer still work? Make some divinity candy.

I keep thinking, don't they have a good bakery somewhere between your
place and theirs? At any rate, how about a homemade chocolate cream
pie, not the kind with the chocolate jello pudding mix, but real. You
can put the whipped cream on when you get there.

If you remember to take the pie off the roof of the car after unlocking the
car door...and not drive away with the pie on the car roof.
