Pink Velvet Waffles & Cream Cheese Drizzle

January 22, 2022 Amanda Plott

Valentine’s day is coming and that always puts me in the mood for sweets. Being as my daughter is pretty much in love with waffles, I decided to try my hand at making some pink velvet waffles! What are pink velvet waffles? Well, they’re basically a pink version of red velvet that’s made with just a touch of cocoa powder and lighter colors to be pink rather than full on red!

Being as they are pink velvet waffles, I opted to make a cream cheese drizzle in place of syrup to go along with these sweeties. And of course, no waffle can go eaten in this house unless it has sprinkles on top. So, these pretty pink sprinkles were the perfect addition…

Instant Pot Funfetti Cheesecake

January 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

I’m no stranger to cheesecakes in the instant pot, and so far they’ve all worked out really well. So, I thought I would try my hand at making one of my favorite cheesecakes in the pressure cooker. After all, what’s better than rainbow sprinkles in your cheesecake?

This cheesecake recipe is super simple and is pretty much fool proof too. And trust me, I know cheesecakes can be tricky and finicky at best. But, this one isn’t - I promise! It’s as tasty as it is easy to make too. Plus, did I mention that it’s basically fool proof? A fool proof cheesecake? Yes, please!…

Christmas Cake Roll

With Christmas just a few days away now, I thought I would try my hand at making a dessert to have on hand that was not only festive, but tasty too! I really enjoy roll cakes, even though they aren’t the easiest of cakes to make, they are always super impressive. Especially when you make them colorful and halfway homemade; which is exactly what this Christmas Cake Roll is!

I started off with a simple box mix that I whipped together, colored, baked, and then filled with a homemade buttercream frosting. The frosting here is always the best part, that’s because it’s homemade and not out of a can. Although, I will say that everything has its place. Even canned frosting…

Instant Pot Creme Brûlée

I’ve only had creme brûlée a handful of times in my life and I’ve never ventured to make it for myself because I always had it in my head that it would be a complicated dessert that likely required some sort of kitchen torch of which I can’t seem to allow myself. But, as it turns out, creme brûlée is actually a pretty simple and easy to make dessert. Especially when you make it using a pressure cooker!

This creme brûlée is started off with a few minutes in a pressure cooker. It then chills for several hours and is finished off when you’re ready to enjoy by broiling in the oven for a few minutes. Yep, it’s just that easy to make yourself creme brûlée at home…

Pecan Upside Down Cake

This tasty upside down cake has been winterized for your pleasure! That’s right, I’ve taken a classic upside down cake and made it into something that’s more festive to the season with ooey gooey pecan topping! This Pecan Upside Down Cake is super easy to make with most of the ingredients being pantry staples and it’s perfect not only for dessert, but also as a sweet option for breakfast or brunch.

This cake is the perfect mix of a pecan pie and an upside down cake. All of the pecan crunch and goo paired with a simple cake mix. I prefer this to be served warm and straight away with some homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream…

Caramel Apple Monkey Bread

Was bobbing for apples ever really a thing? I know caramel apples are, but I can’t say that I have ever, or would ever, stick my head in a bucket of water to try and fish out an apple by way of my mouth. So, caramel apples it is! This Caramel Apple Monkey Bread is a great way to sneak some caramel apple into your morning.

A bright crisp green apple that’s baked right into some sugary biscuit goodness and topped off with a quick homemade caramel sauce. It’s sort of perfect for a chilly Fall morning, don’t you think? Plus, there’s no bobbing or water buckets involved so it’s a win-win…
