Put in Blender:
2 whole large eggs
1-1/2 cups half and half
2 jiggers gin
1-1/2 cup crushed ice
1/4 to 1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 or 3 T lemon juice
Whirl until blended. Serves 4 or more. (Good to serve ahead of brunch)
I just love that last note, serve before brunch! Like lets all drink this first thing in the morning! It's pretty tasty and frothy. Everyone liked it. There was a lot of conversation when I was making it over how much is a jigger anyway. I guess it's like a shot glass. That's what I used. Have fun with this one :)

CHERRY TRIFLE
1 pound cake
1/2 cup sherry, brandy, rum, or orange juice
2 pkg. vanilla pudding, prepared and cooled
1 can cherry pie filling
whipped topping (about 4 oz.)
Cut cake into 1/2" cubes. In pretty glass bowl, place a layer of cake cubes, sprinkle with liquid of your choice, spread about 1 cup of pudding over (forming a thin layer) and top with a few spoonfuls of cherry pie filling. (doesn't need to make a complete layer.) Do this 3 times and then put whipped topping on top. Chill a few hours. Serve in pretty dessert dishes.
This is a beautiful dessert; however, it is a little strong in flavor (I used brandy). My son took the rest of it to work, and I believe his night crew wiped it out (I'm sure they appreciated that little pick-me-up in the middle of the night! If you like things like rum cake, then you'll like this. In this picture I had not added the whip cream yet, but you can see still what it looked like.

BANANA SPLIT DESSERT
2 cups graham crackers, crushed
2 cubes margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
2 eggs
5 bananas, sliced
1 large can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 large cool whip
1 small jar red cherries, sliced
1 cup chopped nuts
Melt one cube of margarine & mix with graham cracker crumbs. Press into bottom only of 9 X 13 baking dish. Mix the other cube of margarine with sugar and eggs. Beat this for 15 minutes. Pour over crust. Slice bananas and lay on top. Spread the drained pineapple over the bananas. Then use all the cool whip to cover the top. Sprinkle with nuts and cherries. Chill. Serves 12 - 15.
This wasn't as good as I hoped as I do love banana splits. It was a little too soggy. It would be better in this case to just eat a regular sundae with ice cream.
