ALL AMERICAN DESSERT



All American Dessert image

Angel food cake is such a wonderfully light dessert. Now that I've made this dish once, you can bet that I will make it for next 4th of July! It looks so Americana. Although there was enough whipped topping to make the recipe taste good, I think I will add more whipped topping on the next one for presentation purposes.

ALL AMERICAN FRUIT PIZZA (DESSERT)

I got the recipe for the cookie pizza crust and marshmalllow sauce from a magazine several years ago. The recipe suggested different fruit combinations for toppings. I usually decorate it with red (strawberries), white (marshmallow sauce), and blue (blueberries) for Memorial Day and July 4th. I'm sure most everyone has a similar recipe but this one is especially quick and easy. And its very good.
