Hubby's Frozen Pina Colada



My husband has got to make the best frozen Pina Coladas I have ever tasted! They are one of my favorite drinks; although, I prefer them with no alcohol!

These drinks are perfect for the pool side or for a "safe" get-together. Cool, refreshing, and oh so yummy! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!






Ingredients:

1 cup of Pina Colada Drink Mix (Any will do)

6-8 scoops of Blue Bell Homeade Vanilla Ice Cream

2 cups of Crushed Ice

Slice of Pineapple (Optional)

Cherry (Optional)


Directions:

1)  In a blender, combine the drink mix, the ice cream, and the crushed ice;

2)  Blend until smooth;

3)  Garnish with pineapple and cherry, if desired.

That's it!  If it's a bit too thick, you can add extra liquid.  If it's too thin, add a bit more ice cream.

Enjoy!

Dirt Cake

Yes, you read it right! I said "Dirt Cake"! I'm sure many of you have heard of it and have already tried it! And...if you have, you know how yummy it is! I won't say it's necessarily good for you, but you're tummy will love it!

 

This is one of my daughter's favorite desserts! And what's really fun is that you can easily incorporate it into any type of party setting - birthdays or especially Halloween! Just add some Nutter Butter Cookies and with Chocolate icing, write "RIP" on them, and voila! You have little tombstones sitting in your pudding cups!

So how do you make it? Easy as "pie"!

 

Ingredients:

 

2 small boxes of Instant Chocolate Pudding (You can use Vanilla if you prefer)

 

1 package of Oreo Cookies

 

1 small container of Cool Whip

 

Gummy Worms (Optional)

 

Plastic Cups (Optional)

 

 

Directions:

 

1)  Chop Oreos really fine in a blender: (Like dirt!)

 

2)  Mix pudding according to package instructions;

 

3)  Fold Cool Whip into pudding;

 

4)  Serve in cups and sprinkle heavily with Oreos, and add gummy worms cuz the kiddos love 'em!

 

(Some recipes vary as some like to layer the pudding with the oreos.  Your choice, of course!)

 

Enjoy!
