Enjoy a Simple n Easy Dessert: Strawberry Shortcake in a Glass 🍓

Savor the Quick & Easy Apple Crisp: A Dessert in No Time 🍏
If you're a fan of apple pie but don't have the time to make one, try this quick apple crisp. All you need are apples, sugar, cinnamon, and a simple crumble topping made from butter, flour, and brown sugar. It's a warm, comforting dessert that's perfect for fall.

6 medium apples
1 cup of sugar

Fun with Easy Non-Bake Dessert Recipes for Kids 🧒🍭
If you're looking for easy non-bake dessert recipes for kids, I suggest trying the Oreo truffles I mentioned above. Another fun recipe is 'dirt cups' made with chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms. Kids love assembling these and they're a hit at parties.
Dirt Cups Recipe
You will need:
Chocolate Pudding
Oreos
Gummy Worms
Clear Plastic Cups
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate pudding according to the instructions on the package and let it cool.
- While the pudding is cooling, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.
- Once the pudding has cooled, layer the bottom of the clear plastic cups with a layer of crushed Oreos.
- Add a layer of chocolate pudding on top of the crushed Oreos.
- Repeat the layers until the cup is filled, ending with a layer of crushed Oreos on top.
- Finally, insert a few gummy worms into the top layer of crushed Oreos to make it look like they're crawling out of the 'dirt'.
Notes
You can prepare these a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them. Just add the gummy worms right before serving so they don't get too hard from the cold.
I hope these quick & easy dessert recipes help satisfy your sweet cravings. Remember, the key to a great dessert is using quality ingredients and putting your love into it. Happy baking, or in some cases, non-baking!
