Banoffee Pie

It should be obvious by now that I have a major sweet tooth. As I was grocery shopping last week I spotted that Ben & Jerry’s has re-released one of my favorite flavors, One Love. Banana ice cream with caramel and graham cracker swirls in it, I mean come on. One pint of this delicious flavor combo was not enough!

Banoffee pie to the rescue. A pie that is not very popular in the U.S. but I happen to love it. This no-bake pie has a graham cracker crust, a layer of sliced bananas, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and toffee bits. Why don’t I make this dessert more often? Probably because I’m too busy making even more desserts.

Finally, I am starting to see a glimmer of spring just around the corner. The temperature is no longer bitterly cold, we have more hours of sunlight, and the snow is almost completly gone. This means it is time for SPRING CLEANING!!

Mini Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookie Cups

I promised you the mini version of Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookie Cups and here it is! This bite-size version might be even better than the original recipe because these mini cookie cups are easier to eat (especially for children). The delicious flavors of an oatmeal cream pie easily made in a mini muffin pan. I hope you like them!
