Peas on the Plate

As you may be aware, it’s almost officially The Holidays. Kwanzaa, Hannukah and Christmas all start in the next week or so. You may or may not be going to events that are related to these holidays. You may or may not have forgotten that you said you’d bring a dessert. You may or may not be averse to picking something up at the store, and insist on making something yourself (this has been covered already). No time to bake a cake? No problem.

As is evident by now, I’m a fan of easy recipes. That’s probably because even the easiest wind up presenting some kind of challenge for me (thanks, incompetence!), but I made this dip, it was super easy, and with the right attitude, you can use it as an appetizer OR a dessert. Or both.

I found this recipe for a fluffy, no-bake cheesecake dip on Something Swanky, served it with a box of halved strawberries (but you can serve it with just about anything cheesecake-friendly, like graham crackers), and it was a hit! It does, however, make a metric ton, so it’s great if you’re feeding a crowd or… y’know… eating it by yourself. Not that I’d know anything about that.
