Southern hospitality is all about sharing good food and good company. When it comes to desserts, the goal is to create something that feels like a warm hug - sweet, satisfying, and made with love. Here are some fast dessert recipes that fit right into that tradition:

• Classic Banana Pudding: Layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and creamy pudding. Chill for 30 minutes or serve immediately for a quick fix.

• No-Bake Cheesecake Cups: Mix cream cheese, sugar, and a splash of vanilla. Spoon over crushed graham crackers and top with fresh berries.

• Microwave Mug Brownie: Combine cocoa, sugar, flour, and oil in a mug. Microwave for 1 minute and enjoy a gooey brownie in a flash.

• Apple Pie in a Mug: as seen in my blog earlier. Here's the link.

What Dessert Can I Make in 10 Minutes?

Sometimes, the clock is ticking, and you need a dessert that’s ready almost as fast as your guests arrive. Here are some ideas that can be made in 10 minutes or less:

1. Fruit and Yogurt Parfait: Layer Greek yogurt, honey, granola, and fresh fruit in a glass. It’s healthy, pretty, and ready in a snap.

2. Peanut Butter Cookies: Mix peanut butter, sugar, and an egg. Form into balls, flatten with a fork, and bake for 8-10 minutes.

3. Raspberries & Lime Sherbet with a Ginger Cookie: This is one my summer go-to's but you can switch up the fresh fruit for something in season and roll with it. It's beautiful with the bright green and rich brown cookie, and the fruit gives it some color too.
