Desserts
Everybody likes dessert. Epecially me. Whenever I run across a cool dessert recipe, I'll put it here (I don't mean common things like cookies. I'm talking about cheesecake and other not-so-average desserts). They will also be tested. I'm not putting something up here unless I've actually had some.
Disclaimer
I did not write any of these recipes. I tried to give credit where I could, though. As always, make sure the ingredients are still good. IE if it moves, don't eat it :)
Cook and eat at your own risk. I assume no responsibility if you become sick after eating one of these deserts.

Back in Spanish II, we had to bring in a dish from a country and I wound up assigned with the Phillipines. After hopping on the Google Express, I disemarked at PHILIPPINE RECIPES. I looked in desserts, and found this recipie. Naurally, I choose it (who can resist the cheesecake?), cooked it, brought it to school, and dug in. It tastes very good, and is pretty easy to cook (considering that I was able to cook it with no problems). No arguments about getting a bigger slice either, because it comes in individual cupcake things.

This is one of my favorite desserts for when I'm camping. They are especially good after a hard day of hiking. Just don't try cutting the apples in the dark. I did that once, and almost severed my finger while I was at it. :) It took nearly six months for all the feeling to return to it. The worst part is I dropped the apple, so it was all covered in blood and dirt and blood-mud, so I didn't get to eat it :(
