Homemade Hot Cocoa

Hot cocoa is something that is so comforting on cold mornings.  I have always loved hot cocoa or hot chocolate. I was always taught to call it hot chocolate.  I can remember as a young girl my grandmother Olene would make this for all of us on cold mornings before school.  It was such a welcoming treat before heading off to catch the bus for school.  I made this a different way than what my grandmother made it.  I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Raspberry Fanfare

This recipe can be a little tricky because you have to let the gelatin set enough to where you can layer it, but make sure that it hasn’t set too much as well. If you’re not quite sure how to go about that you can test a little in a small dish til your happy with it. This one is definitely worth the hassle though! This is nice and creamy with the perfect amount of raspberry and lemon flavors.

No Bake Nectarine Pie

I found this recipe for a peach pie that sounded really tasty. Since fresh peaches were out of season I decided to give nectarines a try! This pie just looks so inviting to eat and smells sweet. The nectarines give the pie a lot of sweetness, but the crust and a little whip cream help to tone that down!

Luscious Lime Pie

This no-bake lime pie was a big hit around the house and it was a lot of fun to make as well. It has that fresh lime aroma and the pretty green color just makes it look so appetizing and I can promise you it tastes as good as it looks!

Coconut Custard Pie

This creamy dessert is the best after-dinner snack! The toasted coconut adds an amazing flavor to the vanilla custard. Enjoy it with the biggest glob of whip cream you can handle!

Maple Sponge Cake

When I first started making this cake I had no idea how sweet it would be. I know that maple syrup, in general, is pretty sweet, but this is a very non-sweet, moist, and spongy cake. The whipped cream and berries are a perfect addition to go alongside the cake. This is something that I could eat as a snack or even breakfast.

Maple Parfait

An amazing treat, this dish. Totally transparent when I say that this took me a few tries to get it. I love making sauces, and have no issue doing so. The base for this was tricky for me, but I won in the end!!! Parfait is somewhat misleading, as this is more of an ice cream of sorts. The key to making this is to NOT mix the yolk and gelatin over active heat. Pull the pot from the heat, and return it as needed, or you’ll scramble them every single time. Be patient, and I promise it’s worth it! …
