Show Us Your Life ~ Favorite Desert Recipes

My husband has made both of these so I can't take the credit, but I can sure help eat it! haha! One is easy as pie...The other one is more work, but worth the wait!

Butterfinger Ice Cream Delight

We just made this to take to a game watching party! It is one of the most delicious, easy to make desserts I've ever had! My aunt even said it almost felt sinful to eat! I don't have a picture of this one but here are the steps:

1. Place ice cream sandwiches in a glass backing dish.
2. Cover with whip cream and smooth out.
3. Cover with Chocolate syrup.
4. Chop up a few Butterfinger candy bars into tiny bits. Sprinkle the Butterfinger bits across the top.
5. Let sit in the freezer for a few hours and then serve!

We had this at a family member's house and couldn't get over how amazing it tasted! Enjoy!

Cheesecake Balls


My husband watched some one make these on the Food Network when we were dating and then surprised me with them one Valentine's Day!

1. Bake a regular cheesecake following the instructions of your favorite cheesecake recipe. (The Serendipity cookbook has a great one!)
2. Once the cheesecake has set use a cookie or ice cream scoop to mold the cheesecake into a round ball shape.
3. Dip the cheesecake in chocolate (We've used both white, milk, and dark chocolate before, and then in your favorite topping...Nuts, Oreos, chocolate chips, etc.)
4. Place on a baking sheet, for ease of eating you can put a lollipop stick in the middle and place in the fridge to harden. (You can also wait for the first layer to harden a little and then drizzle another type of chocolate on top!)
