Baking with Ethan - Dessert!

I love dessert! But then who doesn't?

Each Sunday, for the past few weeks, Ethan and Scott have been barbecuing. They make a wonderful dinner. So this week, I thought Ethan and I could make some dessert.

We started with some digestive cookies and sugar in a ziplock bag.

Ethan pulled out the rolling pin, and beat it silly!


We put the crumbs in a bowl, and added some melted butter.


Next, we pressed the crumbs into the bottom of a tin.... a muffin tin!


We baked them for about 1/2 hour and then let them cool.

While Ethan was helping his dad with the bbq, I whipped together 1 cup whipping cream, 3 Tbsp cream cheese, 1/3 cup icing sugar and some vanilla. I topped off each cup with a dollop of the cream.

After dinner, we grabbed some berries, and piled them on top of the cream.


Ethan loved them so much, he's decided we need to make them for Grandpa over Christmas.
