That's a hefty meal in my mind. How old are the grandsons? Under 10,
ice cream bars. Over 10, ice cream and/or sherbet in a dish. <shrug>

The youngest grandson will turn twenty-one soon. All of them are at the age
where they are never full; just tired chewing. It's fun to feed them since
they have no delicate sensibilities. Polly

Chocolate mousse. If you prefer boxed dessert mixes to made-from-scratch,
make whipped topping from 1 package of Dream Whip and incorporate 1 package
of Jello Chocolate Fudge Instant Pudding mix.

Hi Polly! You gave me quite a laugh with the "tired of chewing"
remark! Ha! What a hoot!

As a young man, I never got tired of cheese cake. A nice slice of that
would make them go crazy!

Tiriamisu? Cheesecake? Sorry but I didn't grow up in a family that had
dessert with most meals, not even for company.

Well, you could feed them some delicious fresh fruit and yoghurt.
But what they really want is chocolate cake and icecream.

Ice cream.
Pie and ice cream.

Maybe even ice cream pie; a nice graham cracker crust filled with ice cream
and layer of "toppings".

A nice glass of wine would be fine for me, but my experience of feeding
the very young nieces and nephews leads me to suggest that you not worry
too much about being inventive or unique, just about any "dessert" will
be approved of, i often use the visit of young relatives as an excuse to
make the bananas, vanilla pudding and 'nilla wafer desert, topped with
whipped cream its always a big hit here as one sister is a health food
nut and the other is just cheap.

Polly.

I'd just have fun with it!

Serve each with plastic cups of milk. Then "I'll be right back."

Then walk back to the table with two plates one filled with Oreo and the
other with Chips Ahoy cookies.

If their jaws drop, stick it to 'em and quickly reach for one and
submerge one in your cup, getting your fingers dunked in milk also
exclaiming with a smile, "What are you waiting for?" then much it down
whole.

OR if they jump to life, you can stick it to 'em another way... "Reminds
me of when you were kids!"

Either way you "stick it to 'em," I'd bet it'll become a favorite family
story to tell!

If anyone is lactose intolerant pour a milk serving from a carton of
Lactaid brand milk.

Or not!

Best,

Andy

I fail to see how that would render you unable to come up with a
dessert idea. Surely at holidays or birthdays there were desserts? Or
you've seen dessert menus? Or been served desserts at other homes?

I'd serve shortbread and ice cream, if you're going for something
simple. Or just a simple chocolate cake with ganache or dusting of
powdered sugar and cocoa. Actually, I'd just serve fruit, but I imagine
for the grands you want something more.

Lemon sherbet and shortbread cookies.

How about a fruit dessert? Not just fruit, but a dessert made with
fruit, maybe mostly fruit. Like a crumble?

Gee, no meat-a-balls?

Just plunk down some cream or sherbet - I bet they aren't fussy.
