Happy Easter everyone! OMG, I am SO sorry this is so late. It's been a crazy hectic day here getting things ready for Easter Dinner. Dinner was at MIL's so she did most of the work, but I still made a couple side dishes that took some time. But she made this absolutely sinful Eclair cake/pie that was incredible!!

Today's question: What did you have for dessert today? Even if you don't celebrate Easter, everyone should have dessert.

My Mother made cream puffs; except she filled them with chocolate or vanilla pudding (I actually requested one with both) and topped it with a little whipped cream and berries!  Yum yum  yum!  And not too heavy after a good meal!

I didn't really have dessert today.  Unless you count coffee, which can morph into any food group.

Mooch, did you ever have chocolate cream puffs??? Oh, they're tasty! With chocolate filling and strawberries. Yum!

I made two desserts.

One was Ladyfinger Lemon Dessert. Ladyfingers placed around the edge of a springform pan, with a filling of lemon gelatin, lemon juice, and the zest of the lemon, and whipped evaporated milk (it was a lighter dessert) with reduced-fat whipped cream. (It didn't set up as firmly as I wanted it to; next time, I'm just going to fold the filling into regular whipped cream instead of the whipped evaporated milk....calories be darned. But it had a really nice lemony taste.)

The other was Chocolate Swirl Delight. Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls, each sliced into 6 pieces and lined around the bottom and the edge of a springform pan. Filled with chocolate pudding and slathered with whipped cream, garnished with chocolate shavings and whatever was leftover from slicing the Swiss Cake Rolls. Decadent! (There was only one large piece of the chocolate dessert left. My MIL took one bite of her dessert and said, "I'm taking whatever is leftover of this chocolate home!" And she did! She took it, cake pan and all!

I served the rest apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream and strawberry shortcake. I do gluten free so I only at a bit of ice cream.

No dessert for me. BF got me some Hershey's chocolate Easter crosses though, because they were out of bunnies at the store :lol3: Haven't tried eating one yet, being sick all weekend has me scared to eat anything but soup just yet!
