Winning Family Desserts: 3 Simple Recipes Your Family Will Love

Dessert has a way of pleasing everyone, all the time, without fail.

So Cozi asked you to share YOUR best family desserts – recipes that are simple to whip up and that make the dinner table wriggle with excitement. Thank you to everyone who submitted a dessert recipe!

We narrowed down over 100 recipes to the top 10 (based on taste, ease of preparation and cleanup, cost, originality) and then prepared them for an official taste test among kids and grown-ups in the Cozi offices here in Seattle.

We knew we were asking a lot of them, but the 10-kid taste panel came through by diligently tasting and rating each dessert:

Dessert Taste Test

After a tally of the votes, we have our top three family desserts:

Hot Chocolate Cupcakes

Dessert Contest Winner - Hot Chocolate CupcakesHot Chocolate Cupakes, submitted by Lynne K., took first place honors. Lynne says, "My son can make it all by himself and we all love it. He often makes it when we're having friends over for dinner because it's a great do-ahead recipe that you can just stick in the refrigerator and take out after dinner."

Creamy No Bake Cheesecake

Creamy No-Bake Cheesecake, submitted by Kemish E., took second place honors. Kemish says that this cheesecake is creamier and sweeter then baked versions. And this recipe was particularly popular with the grown-up taste-testers here at Cozi.

      I have not cooked tnogue myself but my mom does. She gets a cow from the farm and takes the tnogue and seasons it with salt, sugar and msg. Then she puts it in the oven on high or broil. She cooks the cow meat the same way as she cooks the tnogue. It is either cooked whole or cut in big chunks to seal in the juice. Once it is cooked it is cut or sliced and then served with a dip usually made from cow bile, cilantro, chives,herbs, soy sauce and peppers.There are many ways Asians bbq, some people marinate their meats oyster sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, korean bbq sauce, or fish sauce. I’m not sure what kind of bbq your had at that restaurant or how it tasted, but it’s all matter of preference. Some people put onions, chives, and garlic, and others keep it simple. If you want to add spice you can put peppers or use sriracha sauce. I have even seen some people use curry. For the most part, at restaurants, they will marinate tnogue in some type of sauce or make their own, but when cooked at home, cow tnogue is usually just seasoned lightly and baked. The homemade dip made from cow bile, peppers, soy sauce and herbs is also served with tnogue along with sticky rice and a side of vegetables(mostly steamed or raw). The dip is bitter because of the bile, but most likely they will not serve that at restaurants because it is very hard to get. Instead they will just skip the bile and just put soy sauce, herbs, and peppers. People usually get cow bile when they go to the farm and get a fresh cow, they ask for the bile. Also, some farmers will not sell the cow bile anymore. Hope this helps. If you describe the way it tasted I can probably give you a better idea of how it was made.
