Pistachio Mallow Fluff<\/a><\/h2>\n

This pistachio fluff is a real treat since it\u2019s creamy but not overly sweet. It\u2019s easy to mix up, and the flavor gets better the longer it stands. It\u2019s one of my favorite green desserts for St. Patrick\u2019s Day. \u2014Pattie Ann Forssberg, Logan, Kansas<\/p>\n

Mint Chocolate Cheesecake<\/a><\/h2>\n

I created this mint chocolate cheesecake for our high school\u2019s annual fundraiser. We were told that it brought a hefty price and was one of the first desserts to go! If desired, you can stir the cookie pieces into the batter instead of adding them in a layer. Keep the pieces fairly small; if they\u2019re too large they have a tendency to rise to the top. \u2014Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\"Raspberry<\/a><\/p>\n

Raspberry Matcha Cake Roll<\/a><\/h2>\n

Not all green desserts use food coloring. Matcha<\/a> gives this cake a vibrant color. This tender cake roll with whipped cream has a very light texture and is perfect for spring.
