Lush Slush Food

LUSH SLUSH

Steps:

• Prepare in large tuperware type container with lid that will fit in your freezer.
• Stir well, put the lid on and freeze mixture (overnight is best).
• You will need to give it a stir every few hours.
• When slushy, serve in a tall glass with half Squirt/Fresca (grapefruit flavored pop) or 7up/Sprite.
• Ratio 1/2 slush and 1/2 pop.
• Garnish with a cherry.
• NOTE: I have never made this with RUM.
• I have always made it with Brandy.
• The apricot and peach are the prettiest drinks-- the blackberry turned out the color of icy ditch water.
• We drank it anyway!

TIRAMISU LUSH

Steps:

• Spray an 8-inch square baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the ladyfinger crumbs, butter and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Freeze 15 minutes to set.

Dissolve the espresso powder in 1 tablespoon hot water and stir into the filling. Fold in 3/4 cup of the whipped topping to lighten. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth with an offset spatula, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to partially set.
• Meanwhile, make the instant pudding according to the package directions. Pour over the filling. Top with the remaining whipped topping, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
• Before serving, dust with the cocoa powder and sprinkle with the chocolate-covered espresso beans.
