tarts made with real lemons from the bakery. As is per usual, one of my parents likes them, the other doesn't! So onward and upwards I'm searching for something new for dessert - something that you can buy in a store.

BTW, you probably won't find the SF yogurt at
your local supermarket... you will have to visit an ice cream parlor or yogurt shoppe to get it.

(50,566 posts)People can put in what they want. I often make a bunch and set out several bowls of fillings such as cinnamon/sugar, regular sugar, lemon wedges, Nutella, strawberries or raspberries, whipped cream, peanut butter, ice cream, caramel sauce, etc.

(50,566 posts)They're not that hard to make, if you have a crepe pan.
On edit, I see that that was one of your requirements. Hmmm. Maybe a store-bought cake like pound cake that people can put toppings on would be good.

(50,130 posts)...but how about baked apples? They are so easy to make. Just core them and fill the core hole with cinnamon sugar and bits of butter. Put in a 350 oven and bake until tender.
Nostalgic, so they might be welcome for your parents. They smell so good, too.
And for parents like yours, Jell-O is a likely choice, too. You can put some canned fruit in it for a little boost of nutrition. So many fun flavors, so easy.
