Cherry Coconut Dumpling

I had a mind to come up with something tasty the other day. So I went to my cabinet & pulled out some different things. This is what I came up with. (You can find the whole recipe sans pictures on the "Recipes" page.) Everyone in my family enjoyed it. This recipe is enough for 6 average appetites, but it really depends on what size portions you're used to. It weighs in at about 240 calories per serving (based on 6 servings).

Cherry Coconut Dumpling

A Crock Pot Dessert by The Blueberry Bee

Gather your ingredients:

1 can (20 oz.) cherry pie filling (mine was light)

1 can Pillsbury Grands Jr. Honey Biscuits

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon allspice

Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.

(My cutting board looks pretty rough, I know. It's stained from making play dough.)

 Place all the ingredients into the crock pot & combine well.

Put the lid on & turn it on low for about an hour.

Serve it up with some vanilla ice cream or sweet cream. 

Mmmmm. . . delicious!

If you don't know what sweet cream is, you're missing out! It's really good over cobblers & dumplings. To make it, simply combine a can of evaporated milk 

(or a small carton of heavy cream) with about 1/2 cup of sugar. 

I pour mine into a canning jar & shake, shake, shake! 

This recipe was a winner in my house & I hope it will be in yours, too.
