A little birthday celebration made special by a simple yet impressive dessert – Grilled Angel Food Cake with Key Lime Pudding n’ Raspberries
Time to celebrate…C&C turns 3 today. I love celebrations that call for dessert, especially incredible desserts like this one. We’ve come a long way since our first post and we’re looking forward to what the next year brings. I wish I could have you all over for dessert, I would totally make this over and over again to thank you for reading (and leaving sweet comments!) on this lil’ blog.
Picture with me now…sweet delicate angel food cake grilled until golden brown – oh yes, I did. And it’s topped with creamy, tangy key lime pudding (that’s right, I may never eat another flavor of pudding again). Raspberries are the perfect partner for this already fantastic combo and the whipped cream is just icing on the cake.
Did I mention how simple this is? If you can use a spoon and butter bread, you’ve got this. If you want to take this to a gathering, make it into a trifle and be prepared to make new friends.
