Skinny Cherry Pie Bars

April 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

I'm sorry... and, you're welcome.​​

These cherry pie bars are easy as pie (insert chuckle here) and just flat out amazing! With less than 140 calories in a nicely sized square... how can you deny yourself such bliss?

I really can't wait to try out another flavor or maybe even use some fresh fruit for the filling.

Lemon Bar Cookie Cups

April 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s Spring and that means its time for lemon bars and all things bright and light! These sweet little Lemon Bar Cookie Cups are the perfect individual lemon treat. They start out with a homemade cookie cup from scratch that’s somewhere between a sugar cookie and a short bread cookie. Then the sweet cups are filled with a homemade lemon curd that is super easy to make - and nearly fool proof too!

Now, I’ve made thumbprint lemon cookies before, but these cups take it a step further and give you a lot more cookie and lemon goodness, but the thumbprint version have their place too. Honestly these Lemon Bar Cookie Cups remind me of lemon pies too…

Crazy Crust Cherry Pie

March 11, 2022 Amanda Plott

Some days are just meant to be lazy, and this is just one of those days. There’s another cold front blowing in right now as we roll into Spring break over here. How crazy is that?! Okay, well it’s crazy by Texas standards anyway. Even so, a cherry pie just sounded good to me and I didn’t want to fuss with a pie dough this time around. So here we are with this Crazy Crust Cherry Pie!

What’s a Crazy Crust Cherry Pie? It’s a one bowl cherry pie where the crust is more cake like and is whipped up in no time at all in one bowl before being poured into a pie dish ahead of cherry pie filling. I’d venture to say that this pie is somewhere in between a cobbler and a pie though since the crust itself isn’t really indicative of a pie dough….

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

December 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

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

December 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

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…
