Do you remember your favourite Dessert/Sweet treat as a child?

My Grandmother's Strawberry Rue barb Pie was to die for.

S'mores I used to make them with my sister I still love them today

Grandma's coconut cake. She made thin layers so there were lots of layers with lots of icing.

Homemade pies, we lived on a farm and everything was fresh. Lemon meringue pie, cream pies (chocolate, banana, coconut etc) were really good.

My mother would only bake for special occasions, such as Easter, when she would make her 18 Carat Carrot cake...with crushed pineapple, coconut, walnuts and 18 shredded carrots and cream cheese frosting, (originally my Aunt Dorothy's recipe)...and Christmas, when she would SOMETIMES bake Snowball cookies, which were balls of pecan shortbread with a touch of extra salt, rolled in powdered sugar. They were my maternal grandmother's original recipe.

On Thanksgiving my favorite treat was cashew nuts...which we never had at any other time.

In the summer time, we would often attend huge family picnics out in Nebraska, and my favorite treat THEN was my Aunt Darlene's layered cherry jello salad...with bing cherries and a layer of cool whip mixed with cream cheese. It was delicious! My next favorite summer treat was also only available at family picnics...ice cold watermelon slices!

My moms Christmas cookies.

We called them little wagons. They were cakes made of cut off parts of other cakes soaked probably in rum (yeah 🙈) or at least rum-flavuored syrup, shaped like horizontally laid cylinders, coated in chocolate with a jelly cherry on top.

I didn’t get sweets as a child. But a folded piece of bread with peanut butter on it was absolute heaven to me. Still is actually.

Star Crunches

My grandmother made good berry cream cheese pies tho

My mom made a Waldorf style salad with cool whip and miracle whip with walnuts apple slices banana slices some other odds and ends and grapes which she peeled. It was delicious but had to be eaten because if stored it turned into mush

I really liked cheesecake. 😋😋😋

Banana pudding with vanilla wafers

Yes they were called cream puffs

bananas vanilla wafers vanilla pudding,

Pecan pie and bread pudding

I don't have a single favourite, but remember our Mam could make excellent rice pudding (baked from dried rice and milk, not simply out of a tin), bread-and-butter pudding, and fruit pies and crumbles.

The latter included rhubarb from a single plant that had been in the front garden since before we moved into the house, and appeared immortal until new owners turned that patch into a parking space.

Sometimes we had lemon-meringue pie, or more accurately a flan, made from a packet. I forget how much of the entire dish that represented. I think it was just the lemon-mousse part.

Of the cold "convenience foods", Instant Whip was a favourite; but more often we'd enjoy tinned fruit with evaporated milk; and I still do.
