This No-Bake Mint Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake is just as delicious as it is hypnotically stunning. Be warned: It’s rich, chocolaty, spiked with plenty of mint, silky smooth, and a total ruiner of self-control. This one goes out to all my fellow mint chocolate chip ice cream lovers, thin mint fanatics, and shamrock shake drinkers. It’s the ultimate…
The Easiest Boozy Chocolate Hazelnut Fondue
The Easiest Boozy Chocolate Hazelnut Fondue. All you need for this recipe is 5 ingredients and a microwave. It doesn’t get easier than that for date night! Alright friends, I’ll be honest with you: I’m low on time today so I’m going to be quick. Not because it’s Valentine’s Day and I’ve got something fancy…
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread. This is one of my most popular easy recipes, and for good reason. With sweet, fall-spiced apples, fluffy biscuit layers, and a delicious vanilla glaze, this pull-apart bread is always a hit. After making Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread a few years back (don’t tease me for the bad pictures, that post needs to…
Amaretto-Matcha Christmas Surprise Cake
This delicious pound cake has been sponsored by Aiya America, who inspires my matcha Christmas creations year after year. I used to be firmly in the cookie camp, but this year I’ve got to say that my new favorite Christmas dessert is actually pound cake. Specifically, a dense, moist, and sweet pound cake that’s drizzled…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Dessert
I know that most people have jumped into September with both feet– they’ve got 25 pumpkin spice recipes already in the queue, they’re throwing freshly-picked apples into absolutely everything, and they’re using words like “warming” and “toasty” and “roasted.” But a huge part of my heart is still hung up on summer recipes– the…
Salted Caramel S’more Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Chips
Hold on to your sweet tooth, because this dip is all dressed up and ready to party. James– being the resident dessert-fiend-in-chief that he is– has been asking me to make something sugary for, gosh, probably two months now. But since I’m selfish and prefer salty foods usually inspired by more savory ideas, I just finally got around…
Honey Lemon Chiffon Pie
Well I’ll bee damned. I’ve gotta tell you, I said “this probably isn’t going to turn out” to myself at least 17 times as I made this pie. But much to my surprise, the bees wound up looking like bees, the honeycomb pattern looked like honeycomb, the filling set to an awesome consistency, and the Honey…
Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Custard Pastries
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and ConAgra Brands. All opinions are mine alone. #SpringReddi #CollectiveBias You might think that we’re leaving dessert season, since Thanksgiving pies, Christmas cupcakes, and Valentine’s Day chocolates feel like a distant memory by now. A moment of silence for all of the delectable desserts that have been devoured,…
No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bars
The truth– if you care to know it– is that I’m a cynic. (Though if you’ve been reading for a while, this should come as no surprise.) I will probably leave this world just as distrusting, disillusioned, and full of whining as I entered it; still a crusader of personal space and timely break-ups; still the last…
5 Ingredient Nutella Banana Bread
What do you get when your boyfriend insists that he’ll eat an impossible amount of fruit every time you go grocery shopping, but then it sits out on the counter, untouched? Fruit flies! Wait, no, that’s not what I was trying to get at. You get brown bananas. Lots of brown bananas. And being that Hypothetical You (AKA…
Chewy Cherry Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
It’s the final countdown. We’re two days away from Christmas. One day away from Christmas Eve (and Hanukkah!). Zero days away from me making a disaster in my kitchen while trying desperately to prepare all of the food. It’s go time. You might feel like you already have a handle on everything for your holiday…
Peppermint Mocha Pie
Today’s post is brought to you by my bittersweet nostalgia. Oh, and McCormick®, whose sponsorship made this luxurious Peppermint Mocha Pie possible. So, I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately. And what I’ve realized tonight, thanks to a few glasses of mulled wine, is that I’m not feeling at one with people on either side of the…
Matcha Christmas Wreath Pavlova
This post is sponsored by Aiya America, who likes to encourage my love of seasonal baked goods. Because come on, with all of the grinchy, piney, mistletoey color around this time of the year, who wouldn’t love a little green in their Christmas dessert? This winter, can we take some time to celebrate the fact…
Rum-Caramelized Banana Berry Nut Crumble
As someone who dislikes both bananas and berries, the fact that this recipe exists on this blog is practically a pre-Christmas miracle. Fruity desserts aren’t typically my jam– Get it? Jam? …Sorry — but I had to step outside of my chocolate-covered comfort zone last week. You see, my brother, the king of clean eating,…
Spider Web S’more Cheesecake Brownies
For about 315 straight days every year, you could call me a Halloween costume visionary. From pop culture to punny to straight up scary costumes, I’m a veritable goldmine of ideas. “How ever will I choose?” I ask myself, but of course I never write down my favorites, because that would be the smart thing to do, and I’d…
Maple Brown Butter Glazed Amish Apple Fry Pies
Sometimes, when I’m sitting at my desk, tucked inside of my warm house, with my fuzzy blanket draped over my lap and a hot coffee in hand, I almost forget how it felt to be 14 with frozen fingers. Far before I ever had the luxury of working from home, or even in an office,…
