What Kinds of Desserts are Served At An Amish Gathering?
So many! Again, they aim towards desserts that are comforting, portable, and easily serve a crowd, either after a church service or maybe at an outdoor barn-raising. Pecan pie, shoofly pie, shoofly cake, those are just some of the basic recipes, the basic Amish dessert recipes found at such a gathering. Peanut allergies seem rare among the Amish, so peanut butter is often served in cookies or spreads. Ice cream is a favorite but not served often, just because it melts and most Amish lack refrigeration.
