I Heart Desserts!

This week's challenge at I Heart Faces is "Desserts"! And I absolutely LOVE desserts! I don't eat them too often b/c my husbands never lets me order them, but I still love them! Here is my entry- This, I believe, is a chocolate mousse cake. While my mom and me were vacationing in Florida, we went to this French cafe. They had so many desserts that looked good but this is what I picked out. And let me tell you, it was delicious! Not too rich but just right! :)

My Story in Photos: Dessert Recipe

This weeks challenge for I Heart Faces is "My Story in Photos: Dessert Recipe". We are to pick our favorite dessert and tell a story on how it is made! :) I love desserts..I have a very BIG sweet tooth! For Easter this year..I searched the Pillsbury website for a yummy recipe and found this: Easter Nest Cookies! I thought it would be a cute idea and also a yummy cookie recipe to try! So first..

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (16oz) Pillsbury Ready to bake sugar cookies
1 container (12oz) Fluffy white frosting
1 cup flaked coconut
food coloring
jelly beans (I used speckled M&Ms)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies as directed on pkg. Cool completely.

2. Frost cookies. Add coconut to a resealable plastic baggie. Add 2 to 3 drops of your favorite food color, shake bag to blend color. Sprinkle about 1 tsp. coconut on each cookie.

3. Top with speckled candy (in my case M&Ms)


I used neon food coloring to get spring colors for the coconut
