During the summer when it is hot out the last thing I want to do is heat up my RV by baking a dessert in the over. I am always looking for good dessert that do not need to be baked. I think I found one. I made this a few weeks ago for a group of friends we were camping with. It was a big hit.
You will need:
12 nutter butter Peanut butter sandwichs cookies, divided
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tub (12oz) Cool Whip whipped toppiung, thawe3d, divided
2 squares Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Crush 8 cookies, mix with butter. Press onto bottom of foil-lined 9x5 loaf pan. Mix next 4 ingredients with mixer until well blended. Whisk in 3 cups cool whip, spoon 1/2 cup into small bowl. Blend melted chocolate with the 1/2 cup cool whip. Spoon 1/2 the remaining cream cheese mixture over the crust, top with layer of chocolate mixture and remining cream cheese mixture. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Invert onto plate. Remove foil, then reinvert dessert onto serving plater so the crumb layer is on the bottom. Coarsely break remaining cookies. Top dessert with remaining Cool Whip and cookies.

Todays Menu - Blue Cheese Dip
They say you should never try out new recipes on friends and family. I disagree with that. Those are the ones I always try recipes out on. I tried this dip out on a group of friends a few weeks ago when we were camping. It is a great one to mke ahead before you go out camping. It makes up very nicely and keeps for a few days in the fridge.
You will need:
1 cup crumbled Maytag blue cheese( you can use any kinds of blue cheese)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 lb cream cheese at room temp.
1 1/2 teaspoons minced or grated fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
salt and ground white pepper
1 or 2 gloves garlic, minced
In food prosser, combine three-fourth of the blue cheese, sour cream,cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt , 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 clove of garlic. Pulse until well combined but still a little lumpy. Scrape down the the sides of the bowl as necessary. Taste and add the second clove of garlic, if desired. Transfer the dip to a bowl. Stir in most of the remaining blue cheese with a fork, mashing it up a little and scatter the rest over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry. Since chilled mixtures taste less flavorful than room temperature ones, let the dip stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
