Desserts

We’re all so busy and pressed for time. I find myself creating recipes that are fast to prepare and deliver fabulous results, proving you don’t have to spend all day in the kitchen. Here’s a favorite of mine that combines chocolate candies and cookies into one wonderful bar.

Desserts

Rosemary Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread cookies have a tight window of doneness. They can be doughy and chewy if not baked enough, or too hard and brittle when overcooked. Start checking your cookies at the lower end of the bake time. The easiest way is to carefully pick up one and check that the bottom is a pleasant golden hue.

Desserts

Pear Crisp

Top this pear crisp with a simple brown sugar-oat topping, then bake to bubbly perfection.

Desserts

Reindeer Cookies

Gather 'round the tree on Christmas Eve and feast on these adorable reindeer cookies. They couldn't be easier to decorate, and if you listen closely, you might hear reindeer hooves on the roof!

Desserts

Strawberry Shortcake

Our strawberry shortcake is a classic recipe that can be ready by lunchtime. Use those farmers market strawberries for something special.

Desserts

Coffee Cake Recipe

Coffee cake tastes great with a hot cup of joe! Serve your slices with one of our homemade coffee shop drinks. Not a fan of coffee? A hearty English Breakfast tea or a floral and citrusy Earl Grey tea pairs excellently with a slice of coffee cake.

Desserts

Pineapple Casserole

Baked pineapple casserole is often served alongside baked ham, roast chicken or turkey, where its sweet and tangy flavors complement the meat’s saltiness. As a summer dish, it also pairs well with grilled pork chops or slow-cooker country-style ribs. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a simple green vegetable like air-fryer green beans or asparagus.

Desserts

Mint Chocolate Cheesecake

I created this mint chocolate cheesecake for our high school's 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're too large they have a tendency to rise to the top.

Desserts

Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cake

Freeze-dried strawberries are strawberries that have been treated with low pressure and low temperature in order to remove all the water from the fruit. What’s left behind is a super crunchy, shelf-stable treat with a concentrated strawberry flavor. Freeze-dried strawberries sound kind of space-agey, but are easy to find these days at your local grocery store in the baking or snack aisle.
