15 Classic Grandma Desserts You'll Love to Make and Share

"This is my great-grandma's recipe that everyone loves!" — David.Beveridge

"This was my Grandma Moyer's recipe. It has been missing since at least the mid-'80s. I found it stuck the middle of an old book I got after my mom passed away. Everyone in the family has been trying to recreate this delicious coffee cake for years. It is moist and very flavorful. I added the strawberries because I like it a little sweeter. Rhubarb is an ingredient that you don't see used very often anymore, but those of us who do use it always love to find new ways to spread the love." — BobbieRocks

"This was my great grandma's recipe from the '40s and earlier. It's so easy to make. I remember this being my favorite dessert from when I was a child. This is delicious when hot and served with ice cream or I enjoy it cold by itself. Enjoy!"

"This is a very fun recipe to follow because Grandma makes it sweet and simple. This pie is thickened with cornstarch and flour in addition to egg yolks, and contains no milk." — Emilie S

"This is the recipe that my Grandmother handed down to me. I always make it during blueberry season. My guests just love it!" — Gary Douylliez

"This was always a favorite when we went to my Grandma's house, it is easy and kids love it! We like lots of bananas in ours, so you may want to adjust this according to your own family's tastes." — Mary J

"Very moist (don't cook them too long), very rich in flavor, yet somehow not too heavy. Grandma's recipe! Even people who don't like oatmeal raisin cookies do like these." — Lisa

"My mom made these delicious popcorn balls when I was growing up. While doing my Christmas candy and cookie baking, I came across her recipe. I made the family recipe for the first time this year. My daughters, grown with their own families, asked why I hadn't made these sooner. Thirty plus years later, this recipe will now be a family tradition at Christmas." — Kim1520

"Classic Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. Grandma's loving attention not included!" — D. Stultz
