Continue a few in there and you can have a dessert sampler ready for whatsoever party on a moments notice. Obviously, these will work even better with a homemade pound cake recipe, but and then information technology defeats the "ready in minutes" portion of the idea, and as nosotros all know, I am all nearly embracing the Adept ~~"Plenty"~~ Things. 🙂

I promise you lot enjoy this post as much equally my children enjoyed sampling each and every 1. 🙂

Idea ane: (Pictured to a higher place)

Beat together equal parts of soft manner cream cheese and strawberry yogurt or other yogurt. Cutting your frozen loaf of pound cake into cubes and serve with tooth picks. Dip cakes into foam cheese mixture.

Idea 2: Turtle Pound Block

Cut the pound block into cubes and place cubes into dessert dishes. (I dearest having drinking glass dishes on hand because they clothes upward any dessert. These are easily found at yard sales or thrift stores for anywhere from $0.25 – $0.75 or visit your local Dollar Shop.)

Drizzle the pound cakes with chocolate ice-cream topping or hot fudge and caramel topping. Superlative with pecans and a dab of whip cream, if yous adopt.

Idea iii: Blimp Strawberry Pound Cake

Slice the thawed pound cake horizontally in half. Spread soft style cream cheese (or whipped) on bottom layer and and then top with strawberry preserves (or your favorite preference.) Replace meridian block layer and so pinnacle with boosted foam cheese and melted preserves. Since I dear my cream cheese sweeter, I mixed in a fleck of carbohydrate to sweeten information technology or you could just use strawberry cream cheese as well.

Idea 4: Fresh Strawberries layered with yogurt

The variation from the last idea is in the cut and the ingredients. Cutting the thawed pound cake horizontally into iii layers. Fold 1 cup of thinly sliced strawberries into one/2 loving cup of strawberry yogurt and and so spread between the layers. Serve with whip cream and berries. Fresh is the best, but since it'due south the middle of winter, I did substitute frozen and it was delicious likewise.

Idea v: Ricotta and sheer yum!

While this variation may not sound most as delicious, it'south one of my favorites. This mixture is rich and unique.

Combine one cup ricotta cheese, two tablespoons carbohydrate, and one teaspoon vanilla. Stir in 1/4 cup white creme de cacao and 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces. Top slices of the pound block with cheese mixture and maraschino cherry. (Since I didn't accept the creme de cacoa, I substituted powdered hot chocolate and it was all the same so yummy.) Imagine my cherry sitting cute on top. 🙂

Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

Idea 6: Any kind of Trifle

If I have a large group coming over, I brand a trifle using pound cake equally the base nearly every fourth dimension. They all stem from my Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle, but now I add variation. Fruit trifles, Strawberries, snickers and drizzled chocolate, strawberry, chocolate and bananas – you become the thought. Y'all can non go incorrect with Trifles for whatsoever kind of entertaining.

Thought 7: Drizzle liqueur or flavored syrup

Using a long fork, poke holes into the top of the thawed pound cake. Drizzle with your favorite liqueur or flavored coffee syrup. Serve immediately or cover and chill for 3- 24 hours. Before serving, cut the cake into slices and serve with lots of yummy whipped cream.

Idea 8: Lemon

Slice cake horizontally into three layers like Idea Four. Spread lemon curd betwixt layers and serve with whipped cream. Top with beautiful curled lemon peel, if desired.

I know in that location are probably and so many more wonderful ideas for dressing up our pound cake, but my kids have efficiently eaten all of our block correct up, then my brainstorming comes to an finish.

Honestly, my very favorite way is just plain and then dunking it into my coffee. I didn't call back that would photo too well. 😉
