Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake

October 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

With Halloween this week, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to play around with a new cheesecake recipe. Desserts around the holidays are always a source of debate in our family. What to make, who’s making it, and when to eat it. I’ve got a handful of favorites to serve around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I also like to come up with new ideas to throw out there. This Instant Pot Pecan Pie Cheesecake is definitely going in as a suggestion.

It’s pretty easy to make, especially for a cheesecake. The instant pot does the most of the work and quickly too. As it turns out, a pressure cooker is a really efficient way to make cheesecakes! This one though, kind of combines a cheesecake with a pecan pie, so it’s basically the best of both worlds…

No Bake Zombie Brain Cheesecake

October 13, 2022 Amanda Plott

Halloween dessert at it’s finest. This No Bake Zombie Brain Cheesecake will… take the cake! I used a plastic brain mold to make this no bake cheesecake extra spooky! With a little bit of green food coloring and some time chilling out, this dessert is perfect for Halloween vibes. I based this no bake cheesecake off of one that I made a while back, I just discarded the crust and formed it into a brain.

All in all this gooey green zombie brain is a great way to spook the kiddos and also get in good on the dessert! You can use cookies or sweet pita crisps to scoop up this cheesecake to enjoy. I also used some graham cracker crumbs around the dish to really get that cheesecake feel in there…

Skinny Pumpkin Crunch Cake

October 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

Ahh, pumpkin crunch cake. You know the one. The one that's super easy to make and graces almost any dessert table during Halloween and Thanksgiving. Usually pumpkin crunch cake is pretty straight forward as a 'dump-n-go' style of cake, but I've made a few simple swaps today to make this famous cake a little more guilt-free.

You know me, always trying to make some of the most complicated and indulgent recipes into something more wholesome. I believe strongly in that small changes to any recipe can leave you with a great end result that still tastes just as amazing and won't leave you feeling guilty at the end of it…

Pumpkin Spice Poke Cake

September 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

Not all poke cakes are created equal! This Pumpkin Spice Poke Cake is basically taking a poke cake and mashing it together with the deliciousness that is pumpkin spice. It starts off with a boxed spice cake mix and adds even more spice to it a long with a TON of pumpkin. In fact, whipping up a cake mix or brownie mix with pumpkin puree is an old trick I’ve used before to lighten up a cake!

Once the cake is baked, it’s poked through and topped off with some sweetened condensed milk that seeps through and makes that cake sweet and full of richness. Then it’s all topped off with some whipped cream and even heath bits for added crunch texture!…

Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie

August 11, 2022 Amanda Plott

Once again I find myself wanting something I’m not willing to turn the oven on for, so I decided to try my hand at making cookies in the air fryer. Can it be done? As it turns out - it totally can! But I decided I would make one BIG cookie instead of several little ones. Mostly for ease since I have a perfectly sized push pan that fits into the basket of my air fryer just barely.

This Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Cookie is super easy to make, and let me just say that it’s soooo good too. The air fryer gives it a unique texture that is gooey here and crisp there. And this cookie is LOADED with chocolate chip goodness. And when I say loaded, I mean completely full to the point that if you don’t like a lot of chocolate then you should consider having the chocolate chips…

Skinny Birthday Cake 'Cake Batter' Cookies

June 6, 2022 Amanda Plott

I've made a LOT of birthday style eats and treats before. What can I say? My kiddo and I love rainbows and sprinkles. And there's no time like the month of June to bust our the rainbow sprinkles and cake flavored amazingness. It’s pride month AND we I have a lot of family birthdays this month too! This is an older recipe, so I decide to go back and revisit it.

Originally I found the idea for these cookies and they looked amazing, but as most of you know I can't help but tinker around and put my 'skinny' spin on everything…
