MOM'S TEXAS DELIGHT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F). In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup pecans and melted butter or margarine. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then chill until cold.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in the whipped topping. Drop spoonfuls onto the chilled crust, and spread evenly. Return to the refrigerator while you prepare the next layer.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the pudding mixes and milk. Yes this is half as much milk as the package states. Spread over the cream cheese layer. Chill until set.
• Spread remaining whipped topping over the top, and garnish with chopped pecans.

HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE DELIGHT

Steps:

• Filling: In a heavy saucepan combine 1 cup of the chocolate and whipping cream. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts. Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Cover and chill for 45 to 60 minutes or until nearly set. Lightly grease and cocoa powder 6 (3/4-cup) souffle dishes. Divide chilled chocolate filling evenly between dishes. Place dishes in baking pan, set aside.
• In a double boiler over low heat, stir butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups chocolate over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and let cool. Set aside.
• Batter: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl beat eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and Armagnac on high speed for 5 minutes or until thickened and lemon-colored. With mixer on medium speed, beat in melted butter-chocolate mixture until combined. Sprinkle flour and cocoa powder over the chocolate mixture, beat on low speed until combined. Divide batter evenly among the dishes. Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the cakes feel firm at the edge. Cool in dishes for 2 to 3 minutes. Using a knife, loosen cakes from side of dishes. Invert onto dessert plates. Sift cocoa powder onto plates, dust cakes with powdered sugar and serve with Spun Sugar Halos.

STRAWBERRY ANGEL DELIGHT LUSH DESSERT RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk corn starch and water together in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.
• Add the corn starch mixture together with the sugar in a medium saucepan.
• Mix in the strawberry purée.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over low to medium heat, constantly stirring with a spatula. Once the mixture boils, cook for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until your sauce thickens up and turns a deep ruby red.
• Then remove your strawberry sauce from the heat and allow it to cool. I like to put mine in the freezer, stirring occasionally, while I go about making the filling and preparing my crust.
• Add the Dream Whip, milk, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk them together, according to package directions, 'til the mixture begins to form soft peaks. It'll take about 4 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese well. Then add both the cream cheese and the powdered sugar to the Dream Whip mixture.
• Whisk for about 3 to 5 minutes, or 'til smooth and creamy.
• Slice the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes, and spread those cubes in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
• Spread the creamy Dream Whip filling over the angel food cake.
• Once the sauce has cooled, mix the sliced strawberries into the sauce.
• Then spread that wonderful strawberry sauce over the Dream Whip filling.
• Cover and chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, before serving.
