bonfire party desserts
16 Answers
we're having some folks round for a bonfire & some food. On the savory side we're doing chiili & jacket potatoes, burgers & hotdogs. But I'm not really sure what to do for pudding. It needs to be something people can eat without necessarily having to sit down, and soemthing not too messy. I'm planning on making a pumpkin pie, but can't really think of anything else.
does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Hand food is the ultimate ease....we do something called 'star picnics' in the summer, where we prepare a picnic to take out into a field after 8PM, where we wait for the stars to come out. Then we have plates of brownies (some with walnuts, some without), chocolate chip and pecan biccies, and rice krispy bars.) I realise it's nothing posh, but they are so easy for people to grab a few. We once made a box of mini-pavs..but it all became rather messy...so that's not on the list any longer.
My daughter likes for us to also bring a large bowl of strawberries that she can eat with the brownies...
Enjoy!

Pinkitty: I've got to ask...as you're among a very small number of people in the UK who make pumpkin pies...it's almost a staple in our home, along with sweet potato pie.
Do you add ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg to yours? Personally, I can't imagine making one without it, but I have friends who abhor the idea of cinnamon and especially nutmeg in things. I even use nutmeg and cinnamon in the barbeque sauces I make.
I'm no chef, but I enjoy cooking a lot...
just curious

Pinkkitty:
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
� cup butter, softened ( I prefer Danish Butter)
2 eggs, separated
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup evaporated milk or cream
1/4 cup caster sugar
pie crust I make my own, but I suppose you could buy one of those ready-made ones.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 200 degrees
Combine the sweet potatoes, butter, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and evaporated milk. Blend well, using a wooden spoon.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; add 1/4 cup sugar and fold into sweet potato mixture.
Pour into pie shell and bake at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat, then bake at 175 degrees C for 30 minutes or until firm. The texture should be just as with your pumpkin pies.
In the autumn I often make this. Alternatively, for dinners when we have chicken, I slice up sweet potatoes, then boil them until the consistency is soft.
Mash them with double cream, butter, course pepper, salt, and about two tablespoons of brown sugar. Place into a baking dish, add a few minimally thin squares of butter on the top, sprinkle with about a tablespoon of brown sugar and bake at 200 degrees for twenty minutes. It�s one of my children�s favourites!
Thank you for your baking secret!

Apples - stick an ice cream stick in them.
Dip in melted caramel - let cool.
Dip in melted chocolate.
You can dip them as many times as you want if you cool them between dips - to make the coating several layers thick.
While still melted, sprinkle or roll on nuts, sprinkles, coconut, crushed cookies, etc.
