April Fools Day "Grilled Cheese"

Make this hilarious dessert that is disguised as grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 1 angel food cake loaf I purchased mine from the bakery, but sometimes they sell frozen ones in the dessert section
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • frosting purchased in a can or homemade from your favorite recipe
  • yellow and red food coloring

Instructions

  • Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the loaf into slices the thickness of bread.
  • Just like you were making a normal grilled cheese sandwich, spread one side of each slice with the softened butter and grill in a pan until golden brown.
  • Let the slices cool while you mix up the frosting. To achieve the cheese color, I used a lot of yellow and just a teensy bit of red. Go slowly on this part until you are convinced you've nailed the color of cheddar or American cheese.
  • The last step is to assemble the sandwiches. Just make sure the grilled side of each slice is on the outside and add the frosting in between, with enough peeking out between the bread so it looks like melting cheese.
