Mix the flavors of New York Cheesecake with the spiciness of pumpkin and you have a flavorful, cool weather treat that is a cinch to make. This was our favorite dessert on a 9 day trip. Takes 5 minutes. Just add water and top with gingersnap crumbles. |

Here's what FreeLeo said: "We had a good JMO cobbler. I pre-measured the ingredients into Ziplocs. For the filling 4-6 Tbs reg or brown sugar, 3/4tsp cinnamon, 1 Tbs cornstarch, add to fruit with a small amt of water ,mix & put in jello mold. Topping: 1/2 C flour, 1/2 C light brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 C chopped pecans. Add 1/4 cup butter or marg. to the bag when preparing and mash around till mixed then cut a small hole in bag and squish all over the top of the fruit. Not sure how long it cooked, we kept checking till it seemed like the topping was crusty and fruit was bubbling. Some of the fruit we used was dried apricots we chopped up and rehydrated for a while, that's why I'm not sure how much water to add to the fruit. You can add nutmeg to either part too, if you like nutmeg." Here are my changes: I skipped the pecans and nutmeg and used white sugar with the berries but brown sugar on top. Grease your pan and keep the heat low. See the thread on Jello Mold Ovens for tips. Marlys |

1 Box Jello Instant pudding mix (we like vanilla) less than a buck$$$ 1 1/2 cup powdered milk 2 Cups water (colder the better) Mix powdered milk and water until no lumps Add pudding mix and stir 5 min. Set aside for dessert with a meal A lot cheaper than the prepackaged dessert puddings and really good... you could eat it with vanilla wafers. Woodpecker |

One box pie crust mix- mix according to package directions and press into bottom and sides of two jello molds. 1 1/2 c dried blueberries - soak in a small amount of hot water until they start to plump up a bit, then add 1/4 C sugar and 2 Tbs cornstarch Pour the berry mixture into the pie crust. Bake in jello mold ovens over low heat until it's bubbly and starting to brown on the edges. LET IT COOL! Otherwise, you will burn the s*** out of your mouth (but it will still taste good) Serves 6-8 |

On our last night, we stayed on Malberg for the trip out from Alice, and found tons of raspberries and blueberries. I foraged for hours with my lab, Murphy, who had a super time ;) Then, I used the last of our leftover ingredients from s'mores and apple crisp to whip up a desert that we named Malberg Pie. First, I mixed the berries with my leftover cinnamon sugar mix. The longer you can let this mixture sit with occasional stirring, the more time the sugar has to break down the fruit and make it more syrupy. I formed a crust from leftover crushed graham crackers, flour, and melted butter. Then, placed the fruit mixture into the crust, and toped it with a handful of marshmallows, some hot pepper spiced chocolate, and a cinnamon/sugar/granola/butter mixture (also left over from the apple crisp). I did all of this in my alpine fry-bake, cooked the grate over a campfire, with a small fire on top too. It was FLAME ;) |

1/2 box cake mix (we used German chocolate) dried egg of your choice (mix into cake mix and put in bag) Put in separate bag: chocolate chips toasted unsweetened coconut walnuts add 1/2 cup water Mix water with cake mix. Add coconut mixture. Spread in jello mold and bake. Doesn't need frosting because of course you eat it hot off the stove. I was also considering other cake mix combos..... Lemon cake with white chips, coconut and almond. Spice or Carrot cake with butterscotch and walnuts or pecans. White cake with white chips and Jordan Almonds. |

This is a simple tasty warm dessert for two people. We use (2) pouches of pre-made applesauce, some apple chips, Kraft Caramels, and chopped pecans. Put apple sauce in a small pot and start to warm. Add dehydrated apple chips and simmer until apple chip reconstitute and applesauce thickens. Toss in Kraft Caramels (we dice these up into 4 pcs. each). When the Caramels start to get soft, transfer to small bowls, and top with chopped nuts. Nice thing about this is we use ingredients we use for many other breakfast and dessert meals on the same trip. |

Simple and ready-made. We don't eat these at home, but camping, they're pretty tasty and quick. We find them in a box, so they pack and travel well. Single Serve Apple, Cherry or Lemon pie. (like Entenmann's) Wrap in foil and warm over fire. |

1 box instant cheesecake mix powdered milk (if needed for cheesecake mix) Fresh raspberries sugar Make the cheesecake as directed on box. Works better early or late in season when cold water helps cheesecake set up. Mix 2-3 cups of fresh picked raspberries, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and water to mix. cook the mix until it comes to a boil then cool. pour over the cheesecake when ready. Also works with pudding but use less sugar or just add raspberries raw. Any other fresh picked berries works as well. |

1 tube of store bought crescent rolls 1 can apple pie filling 1 package crushed walnuts or almonds aluminum foil AT HOME empty apple pie filling into zip top bag and double bag it IN CAMP Crescent dough typically comes packaged as six attached triangles. Separate triangles two at a time so you have three crescents total. Place filling and nuts onto the crescents, and roll them up. For each, create foil pouches that cover the dough; place them in coals near the fires edge (not directly in flames). Flip after three minutes, bake for about three more minutes (until golden), then unwrap and enjoy. Serves 3. |

We just returned from a kayak trip to the San Juan Islands. Our guides prepared this in a Dutch oven. It was obviously a keeper, so we did it in the jello-mold a week later in the Sylvania Wilderness and it was even better. Grease the JMO pan. Open a crescent roll tube. Onto each triangle place an eighth of an apple and an eighth of a nectarine. Wrap 'em up and put all eight in the pan. They can touch each other. Melt 3/4 of a stick of butter. Add about 3/4 cup of brown sugar and a tsp of vanilla extract. Drizzle evenly over the crescent rolls. Now, drizzle about 4 oz of ginger beer over the whole works. (WHAT? yep.) Cook it till it is done, about 35 or 40 minutes I suppose. It'll look a little like caramel rolls. Keep a hanky or something handy for eating them as you will likely weep softly. |

Jello mold oven recipe cover the bottom of the JMO with about 1.5" of diced rhubarb. Pack in some brown sugar and cut some butter pats onto it. Prepare yellow cake mix as directed, but add a can (or 12 oz. of bottled) of cream soda instead of eggs and oil, and pour over the rhubarb. Cook in the JMO unitl it looks done. Wait 5 minutes and turn it out. Dab tears of joy while it cools a bit. Eat. |

1 can (15 ounces) solid pack pumpkin 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk 3 large eggs 1 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1 box yellow cake mix 2 cups pecans 1 cup butter, melted First I lined my 10" Dutch Oven with heavy duty aluminum foil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon & salt. Pour mixture into Dutch Oven. Sprinkle the cake mix over the top. Do not stir. Add pecans to top of cake mix. Drizzle with melted butter OR you can just 'dot' the top with the butter and it will melt in as it cooks. Cover Dutch Oven and cook/bake for 50 minutes to an hour. Charcoals: 10 on the bottom in a ring and 15 on the top. Would really be great with ice cream or even whipped cream in a can. If you want to make this at home you can just use a greased 9 x 13 cake pan, bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Enjoy! |
