Cool No Bake Cake For Mothers Day Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the pound cake into several horizontal slices about an inch thick.
• Prepare the pudding according to package directions. Mix the pudding with the whipped topping.
• Chop up the fresh fruit you've chosen.
• Layer 2-3 layers of the cake, fruit, and (a little less than half) the pudding mixture in a loaf pan. Then top the cake with the remaining pudding.
• Put the cake in the fridge for a couple of hours.
• When it's chilled, decorate it; we topped ours with trimmed strawberries and mint sprigs.
• Squeeze on a greeting with chilled chocolate syrup. Then serve Mom a sweet treat on her special day.

Steps:

• Coat an 8 - 9" springform pan with non-stick spray.
• Mousse: Put condensed milk, lemonade and food color, in a large bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula until well mixed. Add a large spoonful of whipped topping; stir until blended. Fold in remaining topping.
• Cut pound cake in half, and then cut each half in half. Continue until you have 16 slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally to form 32 triangles.
• Fit half the triangles over bottom of prepared springform pan to cover almost completely. Remove 2/3 cup mousse; cover airtight and refrigerate. Spread 1/2 the remaining mousse evenly on the triangles. Repeat layers once. Cover pan and refrigerate until mousse is firm, at least 8 hours or up to 3 days.
• Flowers: Sprinkle work surface with sugar. Place gumdrops on sugar and roll with a rolling pin, turning gumdrops over occasionally, until each is flattened to a 1 1/4" circle. Cut out flowers with cuter or make flowers as described in notes. Pipe a dit or press a candy dot in center of each. Leaves: With scissors, cut leaves from fruit by the foot.
• Up to 2 hours before serving: Remove sides of pan and place cake (still on pan bottom) on a serving plate. Frost sides of cake with reserved mousse. Place flowers and leaves on and around cake.
