SEW What’s Cookin’?

What’s cookin’ you ask?!  Wellllll…since YOU asked…let me show you how to make my family’s favourite dessert…

It’s called Napoleon Slice and it’s SUPER easy…all you need are these ingredients~

Notice that the Jell-O VANILLA pudding is the kind that you COOK…this is important!! 

So you COOK the pudding according to the directions on the package and then pour it into a glass bowl and stretch plastic wrap over the top or put a lid on it and put it into the fridge to cool…

While it’s cooling…line your pan with graham wafer crackers…setting aside all the broken crackers.

When the pudding is cold, carefully smooth it over the crackers…  

..then whip the cream.  DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE WHIP CREAM!  Spread it over the pudding layer….

Then add another layer of wafers…

See how you trim the wafers to fit nice and snug…

With the icing sugar make a runny icing by adding milk and a little vanilla.

Put a THIN layer over the wafers..as thin as possible…don’t worry if you can see the outline of wafers…

Take some chocolate chips (or a chocolate bar or large squares of Baker’s Chocolate…whatever you have!) and melt it with a bit of butter…

…stir until it’s nice and smooth and runny…

Drizzle over your dessert…don’t worry about globs…

…because you are going to run the edge of the knife through through the whole works..

…creating a masterpiece!  Now put it into the fridge for several hours to set!

It’s time for the clean up…remember all those broken bits of wafers…

…well it’s time to dip and enjoy!!  Ah common…you can do better than THAT!

Ahhhh NOW that’s more like it!  Yum!!

  Hope you try this dessert!!  Be warned…if you do whip it up, your family will want you to make it again…and again…and again!!  It’s THAT good!

Have a SUNNY Sunday and Happy Eating…I mean Quilting!~P
