When most people think of German desserts, they think of things like Black Forest Cake or other fancy tortes. However, these are usually kept for special occasions or for Sunday dinners and are never thought of as easy German dessert recipes. However, when you check them out, you'll realize they really aren't difficult.

Doesn't the above dessert look scrumptious. Who would guess this easy flaky dessert was made with soda crackers, instant pudding, and Cool Whip? It is . . and it's so quick and easy to make. Why not let your kids make it as a treat? You can even make it as a diet version!

How about a similar dessert, again made with crackers, pudding, Cool Whip and cherry pie filling. Only this time, it's a variation of the traditional Black Forest Cake. Try this delicious Black Forest Dessert. There's never any leftovers!

Another one of the easy dessert recipes that disappears quickly is Rhubarb Crisp (below). This one has a really easy recipe.

When I was a child, quick dessert recipes for weekday desserts were usually a pudding or some fruit.

Ice cream was always a treat. This was often served with a hot fruit sauce. The German name for this quick dessert recipe 's "Eis und Heiss" (pronounced "ice and hice") meaning "Ice and Hot".

Many times, dessert was fruit. Fruit salad was one of these easy fruit dessert recipes. Mom would sometimes bake cookies such as Gewürzplätchen to serve along this bringing big smiles to us kids.
