For The Love of Food and Making Great Memories
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.
I’ve never thought of having a maple pudding before, but this recipe did not disappoint. The end result is a lightly flavored maple pudding that is very creamy and has a perfectly smooth consistency. The walnuts and whipped cream are just an added bonus that makes it that much better!
I love cheesecake and there is nothing better than a quick no-bake recipe. The worst part is waiting for the cheesecake and glaze to firm up enough to eat it! This cheesecake has all your favorite parts. The graham cracker crust, the yummy cheesecake filling, and a fresh and flavorful strawberry glaze. This glaze is a big hit with my family and friends that I use on all of my baked and no-bake cheesecakes.
This is a really yummy recipe for an old-fashioned sugar cookie. These are really easy to whip up and bake, but unlike today’s sugar cookies they are not made to roll out. The dough has a lot of moisture and gets very sticky thanks to the sweetened condensed milk. You want to keep the dough as cold as possible before baking to help with that! I really enjoy this recipe because it’s meant to be all about the cookie. You could decorate them with some buttercream or royal icing if you wanted, but it’s not necessary. These cookies are great …
Angel food cake is one of my favorites and this recipe doesn’t disappoint! I thought this was a fun spin to the regular way I’ve seen them made in the past, and who doesn’t like strawberries and cream? This is such a nice light and airy dessert that’s not very sweet. This recipe will make a 10-inch angel food cake, but I decided to try making the cake in my instant pot so I have also included the instructions on how to do that.
Creating frosted strawberries was a first for me. I found the mixture to be pretty wet and was wondering how I was going to form strawberries out of it. I took a scoop of the mixture and rolled it into the extra strawberry gelatin, this firmed it up enough to form a strawberry. Using different-sized scoops, helped to make different size strawberries; some were more successful than others. To display the frosted strawberries, I made a lemon layer cake and used the strawberries as decoration.
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!
Do you have a special occasion approaching? Maybe it’s just “one of those days”, and you need CHOCOLATE in your life! Whatever the occasion, this will fit right in! Whether you choose to dress it up, or down, this silky smooth, cool and lovely, mousse is incredible. For a more elegant presentation, serve as a parfait and garnish with fresh berries. One of those hours, days, weeks, months, or years? Grab a spoon and dig in!
I’ve never made bread pudding over a double boiler before, so I was really interested to try it. It came out pretty good. This recipe calls for only three pieces of bread, when I make it again, I will add 2 additional pieces to firm up the consistency just a bit. This recipe is tasty and a must-try!
Semifreddo is a lot like ice cream, but much easier to make. This is a nice sweet treat that my kids love helping me whip up when we have a sweet tooth and the flavor options are endless! This recipe was inspired by a maple mousse recipe I was given and decided to spruce up a bit. Adding some semi-sweet chocolate bits or even dipping pieces of bacon in chocolate before adding them would be a great way to change this particular one up!
