Desserts can be a lot easier to make than you think. Although a great dessert can be a bowl of fruit, there are some great options if you have some time.
Of course, if you want something a little more interesting than a bowl of fruit, mix some grapes, some mandarin slices, and cube some melon (a mix of cantalope can be and honeydew works really well). You can also add in some sliced strawberries and a little white sugar as desired.
Pudding can be easy enough to make at home. All you need is a couple cups of milk, enough sugar to flavor it, and some corn starch to thicken it. Melted chocolate is the default flavoring, but you can throw other flavorings in there as desired. Suggestion: Add a little espresso to the chocolate.
Graham crusts are inexpensive, and they can be filled with just about anything. Although a cover is desirable, you don't need one. A can of pie filling will fill one up, and they can be cooked in a under thirty minutes.
If you get tired of the usual flavors, unflavored gelatin can becantaloup a great thing. Substitute fruit juice or other liquid for the water, and you can throw in almost any fruit,and some vegetables (celery seems to be a favorite for some reason).
Pancakes are another favorite. For a dessert version, think adding about a teaspoon of vanilla extract, using chocolate syrup, and toss a scoop of ice cream on top, or use whipped cream.
