Fun and easy for the kids to make!
1 box white cake
1 large package Jello, any flavor
1 cup Longmont Dairy whipping cream
Bake white cake according to package directions, in a 9” x 13” pan. When cooled, use a fork to poke holes in the cake. Make Jello, following package directions. Pour over top of cake and refrigerate. Before serving, ice with whipped cream.
3 cups diced rhubarb
5 Tbsp. melted Country Cream Butter
2/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsps. baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup Longmont Dairy Milk
Longmont Dairy Whipping Cream
Pour rapidly boiling water on top of the rhubarb until well covered. Set aside for 10 minutes. Drain rhubarb through a sieve.
Spread 2 Tbsp. melted butter into the bottom of a shallow 1 1/2 qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with 2/3 cup sugar. Place a pie bird or inverted custard cup in the middle to prevent juices from boiling over. Place the rhubarb all around the baking dish.
Stir together the flour, salt, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and the baking powder. Beat egg with milk and remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until blended. It makes a fairly thick dough. Spread the dough mixture over the rhubarb. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot with very cold heavy cream.
Makes 6 servings.
1 pint fresh strawberries
12 large marshmallows (used as a stabilizer)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Wash and hull the strawberries. Place in a saucepan with the marshmallows, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has formed a thick syrup. Remove from the heat and pass through a sieve or food mill. Cool in the refrigerator. Whip the cream until stiff. Blend in the cooled strawberry mixture and the vanilla. Pour into an ice-cube tray and freeze until mushy. Beat thoroughly with a hand beater. Then freeze again until firm. Cover the tray with foil.
Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.
