I stumbled across this recipe while searching for something novel to serve a friend who is celebrating a birthday this week.

By novel, that’s another way of saying I wanted a dish that doesn’t take more than five minutes, doesn’t require turning on the oven and something guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of my guests.

I was searching for a recipe similar to the Ding Dong cake my friends served me for my birthday back in May. Any ideas?

During my search I was intrigued by something called “Twinkie Love Potion #75″ and wondered if that could be adapted to my project. Not really, but this sounds pretty good and what could be better for a steamy July night. No cooking, two minutes of total preparation, cool and refreshing.

Ingredients

2 Hostess Twinkies

2 scoops vanilla ice cream

• 1 cup strawberries

Directions:

Break Twinkies into four pieces and drop in blender.

Add ice cream and strawberries and blend until smooth. Pour into a

tall glass and garnish with a strawberry on the rim.

I did locate a recipe for a “Redneck Wedding Cake” which is pictured above.  Now I take serious offense at that. Every self respecting  Redneck knows you gotta “ice” those Twinkies and Ding Dongs.
