I am looking for a dessert recipe that will hold up in traveling.   I am driving to a graduation party two hours away.  I live in New England and right now it is super hot.  I can put it on ice.  I do not know what to bring.  This person is constantly bringing something to our house when she comes.  A plant, a bottle of wine, a candle etc.  The party is being catered (in their backyard) so I am thinking more on the way of  a dessert. Any suggestions?

This is fairly easy to make.  Some people just make a regular yellow cake from the box, ie. Betty Crocker or Haines.  I like more the homemade taste.

Cream Cake (Tres Leches)

Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients:

The Cake:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose pour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

The Cream Filling:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

The Frosting:
1 cup whipping cream

Method:

The Cake:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites unti1 fluffy. Add the sugar gradually and mix well. Blend in the egg yolks, one at a time. Alternately blend in the milk, flour, and baking powder. Add the vanilla and blend well. Pour into a greased, square baking pan, and bake 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and pierce it with a fork, making little holes evenly over the surface. Set aside to cool.

The Cream Filling:
In a large bowl, mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly pour the mixture over the top of the cake.

The Frosting:
Beat whipping cream until stiff. Spread over cake.

Put in the frig and serve cold.   Some people do add liquor to taste, such as brandy or rum.

I love this and you can use a variety of types of yogurts/berries.

Frozen Yogurt

An 8-ounce container of yogurt (I uses Dannon Light)

An 8-ounce container of cool whip (Lite or Low-Fat)

A package of berries (no sugar added). 

Mix all together and freeze in a pie plate or cake pan. I mostly use strawberries and strawberry yogurt, and now they even have strawberry cool whip, but not lite or fat-free. 

For other company, I sometimes add in some Splenda to sweeten the berries, or put in a graham cracker crust. 

You could also make sugar free chocolate pudding, and mix in cool whip.  Stir together and put in parfait cups with a shot of Reddi Whip on top.  This is always a fun treat. 

Sorry it is late in coming but, hopefully, you can use in the future as well.
