Strawberry Parfaits

Strawberry Parfait

Strawberry parfaits are incredibly easy and fast desserts to make but can still pass as fancy in a pinch. If you need a “dessert for dummies” recipe this is the one.

Strawberry parfaits are kid-friendly, chocolate-free, and make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat for anyone. Class it up by putting the parfait in a wine glass and adding a strawberry fan to up the ante.

Pumpkin Caramel Lava Cake

It took a few attempts but I finally perfected a pumpkin caramel lava cake. A personal-sized pumpkin cake with a molten lava caramel center is perfection. In the words of my toddler who tried the cake today, “It’s my favorite.” – though she has said that about a handful of my desserts.

Mini Flourless Chocolate Cake

Talk about rich, these flourless chocolate cakes are perfect for sharing. This coming from a girl who NEVER shares her dessert. I would highly recommend making these for Valentine’s Day or any romantic dinner. It’s a great make-ahead dessert recipe for all chocolate lovers.

Haystack Cookies

These cookies couldn’t be more simple – three ingredients, three easy steps, and no baking!!  I absolutely love Haystack Cookies and always make them during the holiday season. Now I’m wondering why I don’t make them more often throughout the year?  The key for me with these cookies is to store them in the refrigerator.  They taste so much better cold!

Dirt Cake Rice Krispie Treats

When it comes to food, I am a child. This morning I had chocolate milk and a single serving of chocolate cake in a mug. I told my daughter that both were “coffee”. Sugar is my addiction and desserts are my game. Here I’ve taken two very simple and fun desserts that I love and combined them. Dirt Cake plus Rice Krispie Treats! If I love these Dirt Cake Rice Krispie Treats I promise your kids will too.
