Desserts

Almost as spectacular as the fireworks, this lovely salad make quite a 'bang' at our July Fourth meal. It's exciting to serve, and our guests loved the cool fruity and creamy layers. T

Easy and fast and kids of all ages love them.

Everyone loves a chocolate chip cookie, right? And do you know what’s better than a chocolate chip cookie? A GIANT chocolate chip cookie. Massive. We are talking huge.

And it may not even really be a pie, but what the heck else should I call it? Strawberries in a mug with crust? Um, no. Come onnnnnn people. Don’t get picky with me today… I’m just showing you how to make a dessert in minutes and eat it with a spoon. Mug pie is where it’s AT. Syrupy, juicy strawberries underneath some serious puff pastry crust. UGH… I just love puff pastry. I think on my bucket list I shall add “eat an entire plain puff pastry sheet” and see where it takes me.

I personally love the combination of fruit and white chocolate. But don’t worry, it’s a subtle addition; even for folks who don’t love white chocolate, these blondies come across as only subtly sweet and fabulously buttery, studded with chunks of juicy roasted berries.

Obviously these cupcakes take a bit more work than boring regular mini cakes – you need the time and patience for a few easy steps as well as the space in your freezer to store these little chunks o’ love – but I promise they are 100% worth it.
