Easiest Dessert Ever

I often see bloggers post pictures of dishes they have made that look oh so very elegant! And, even better, sometimes they accompany the post with pictures - a step by step guide so you too can create this marvelous dish.

Well, I made something the other day that was pretty darn good. I had to wait until I was alone in the house because the night before I had watched an Oprah show I had recorded about people who weighed over 500 pounds and along with that I had watched the Biggest Loser so I was supposed to be feeling motivated about my diet. In light of those television choices, I'm not sure why I couldn't resist making this but I am weak. It really was Ex-Marine's fault because he did the grocery shopping and he bought a big tub of real Cool Whip.

But he didn't buy anything that goes with the Cool Whip - no pudding, no angel food cake, no ice cream, nothing! And the Cool Whip just called to me from the fridge driving me to distraction. The idea of just eating Cool Whip straight out of the container without anything else is not foreign to me but, again, it's one of those things that will get me a look from the family with all my professions of dieting going on.

So I searched the cupboards until I found this.

We buy these chemical filled concoctions for Tween's lunch and there are always a few leftover after lunches have been made for the week. I could save them for the next week, I could probably save them for next month, or even next year, I have a feeling there are no perishable ingredients in them whatsoever - but I decided not to.

The result of that decision was this, the easiest dessert recipe ever...

Unwrap the Hostess Cup Cake....

Place it in a bowl....

Cover it with Cool whip...

Enjoy!


I had so much fun eating my dessert creation that I decided to make another and blog about it - spread the joy to all who have Cool Whip calling to them. I didn't have the patience to wait until I was alone (a very rare occurence in the Round File home) so I just waited until Youngest was busy with a TV show. Unfortunately, that boy has a sixth sense about any food preparation and he was in the kitchen like a rocket. So I made him one too - and he liked it!

I'm not sure this post is going to give Fancy Fast Food any competition but I had fun eating blogging it.
