Classic Cream Puffs

I filled the cream puffs with a simple homemade vanilla whipped cream, and dusted them with powdered sugar. I thought about doing a strawberry whipped cream (using crushed freeze dried strawberries for color and flavor) because I thought they might add to the girlie pink shower theme, but in the end decided to just keep them vanilla. Next time I’ll let myself be a little more creative.






There are truly so many wonderful things you can make with a good cream puff, both sweet and savory. I’m so glad I had the perfect occasion to make them for. You should have seen my boys when I gave them all the okay to come home after the ladies had left. They stood wide eyed at my little leftover dessert buffet and just gobbled everything up. Made for an easy clean-up!


These classic little treats are so easy and fun to make, and are the perfect vessel for a homemade vanilla whipped cream!

Cheesecake Bites

Bringing it to a dinner as a tiny-bites dessert will please everyone who has a tendency to overeat. But it will be rich and flavorful!  Cheesecake bites are nothing more than little chocolate-covered morsels of creamy cheesecake. No special equipment and no water bath needed, since chocolate covers any cracks. SO good! There’s just something about taking an otherwise ordinary, classic cheesecake, slicing it into 1-inch squares, and dipping them in chocolate. I promise you these will be the first treat to go at a party! Ingredients:     For the crust 1 1/2 cups (225 g) gluten free cookie crumbs (I used my “Nabisco” GF Honey-Maid Grahams, from Classic Snacks) 5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled     For the filling 2 8-ounce packages (total: 16 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (can reduce to 1/2 cup (100 g) for a less-sweet version) 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons (18 g) cornstarch (or try arrowroot) 2 eggs (100 g, weigh

I just made thsee and the cake is soooo much better than most recipes! I even made the chocolate hearts..so pretty and easy. Actually found a little mint in the garden too. Perfect! They are delicious. The raspberry buttercream is also incredible and very flavorful. This frosting is ridiculously good! I indulged in many extra spoonfuls of frosting. It was a big hit with family and friends. These would definitely be the perfect Valentine’s treat. YUMMMM! My favorite flavor is chocolate paired with raspberry.

Raspberry Curd Tart

This is such a gorgeous and perfect dessert for Mother’s Day. Lovely! Most definitely show stopping! That vibrant pink is perfect for Mother’s Day – love all the fresh raspberries in this one! o, so pretty and the color is stunning.  I love, love, LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it’s always a hit. I add a sprig of fresh mint to steep for 5 minutes before straining the fruit which adds a nice flavor. I also tried a blackberry/blueberry/basil version this week that was equally delicious! Awesome recipe! This tart was fantastic! It was everything I was hoping it would be. The curd was velvety, tart, and delicious. INGREDIENTS    RASPBERRY CURD 3 cups raspberries 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp Meyer lemon zest 2 Tbsp Meyer lemon juice 2 Tbsp water 2 large egg yolks 2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp cornstarch 1/8 tsp salt 1 Tbsp chilled unsalted butter, diced    CRUST 1 1/4 cups flour 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted and finely ground 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt 7 Tbsp unsalted butter    TOPPING 1 cup
