Award Winning Dessert

I just went to a party and we had the best pumpkin dessert. In one bowl, there was broken gram pie crust, pumpkin pie filler, whipped cream, and pudding all layered. I normally pass on dessert, but this was yummy! Sorry, no real recipe.

cake balls!!

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package cake mix
1 (16 ounce) container prepared cake frosting
18 ounces of chocolate flavored confectioners coating disks or bar (available in white chocolate, dark or milk)
Food Coloring (optional)

Steps
Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. When cake is finished baking allow to cool for 30 minutes. Crumble the cake into a large bowl using a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Add the frosting and mix until well combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Line a baking tray with wax paper. Use a melon baller as a scooper to form balls with the cake mixture. Place on wax paper. Once you have used all of the cake mixture, place the baking tray in the freezer for 1 hour. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl of the microwave, stirring every 5-10 seconds until smooth. At this point you can add a bit of food coloring if you are using white chocolate.

Remove the balls from the freezer. Using one toothpick, pick up the balls one at a time and dip in the chocolate. Use a second toothpick to slide the ball off the first toothpick onto the wax paper lined baking tray.

NOTE: We found that an old Easter egg dipper works as well. If the balls fall off the toothpick into the chocolate, they are not firm enough to work with and you'll need to place them back in the freezer for additional time

Once you have covered all the balls in chocolate coating place the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is set. At this point you can drizzle other chocolate on the balls for decoration.

Yep, I was going to say the same thing as NewMom09. Paula Deen's gooey butter cakes are to die for! The pumpkin variation is BY FAR my absolute favorite one! I make it every year for my husband's department and mine. Every year, more people demand the recipe. LOL Even people who swear they hate pumpkin and pumpkin pie will LOOOOOVE this dessert. =0)

Almond cream puff ring!! There are a couple of steps & it sounds tricky to make, but it's not. This website doesn't have a picture of the dessert, but I've made this a few times & it's always a huge hit without a drop leftover:

try recipesource.com It's a site that has recipes from all over the world, so you might find something unique.

How much effort do you want to put in? I have a recipe for Rum Baba that everyone loves, but it needs 3 rises and a special pan (pop over pan). If you want it let me know and I can post it...
