Blood Orange Icebox Cake

Last night I asked Todd what he dessert he wanted for Valentine’s Day. His answer was something like “That thing with the stuff”. But somehow, I knew he was referring to Blood Orange Icebox Cake. Since he liked it enough to mention it again, request it no less, I’ll share the recipe. …

girl scout cookie tiramisu

I love tiramisu and the idea of making it with Girl Scout shortbread cookies instead of ladyfingers seemed like a winner. In fact, if you Google “Girl Scout Cookie Tiramisu” you’ll find recipes from various chefs who did just that. So today’s recipe was supposed to supposed to be a rich Girl Scout …

Vanilla Bean Banana Pudding

banana pudding

My dad came over for dinner tonight so I made banana pudding. I love making banana pudding, but don’t get to very often because Todd & Fuzz don’t like bananas. Tonight I made it anyway thinking that if the other components were good, the banana haters could just eat around the bananas…..and that’s …

tiramisu cheesecake

This was a great little dessert and I mean that literally because it was really small! I took the 13×9 inch version of Kraft’s tiramisu cheesecake, made a fourth of it and baked it in 9×5 inch loaf pan. Success! I’m very happy because now Todd gets his creamy dessert, but I won’t be saddled [...]

Mini Oreo Tiramisus with Kahlua

Mini Oreo Tiramisu

I was having so much fun with Rita’s Oreomisu, that I decided to try another version – specifically, one with coffee. After all, tiramisu means something like “pick me up” and while sugar might do it for a little, I think it needs some caffeine. This is my revision. One ingredient that’s missing is …

Creamy Lemon Triangles

lemon triangle

When I first saw this recipe in the June 2008 Every Day Food, I said “Ah Ha, Every Day Food! You are not fooling me!” I knew right away that the “creamy lemon bar” was really key lime pie made with lemons instead of lime in bar cookie form. It was brilliant, …

Chocolate Cream Pie Parfait

Chocolate Cream Pie in a Cup

Tonight’s dessert was supposed to be a chocolate cream pie — specifically, this one from Recipezaar. It had tons of good reviews and called for ingredients I had on hand. The pie came together seamlessly and I had a good feeling about it, but things didn’t work out as planned. The pie filling tasted …

This morning’s dessert recipe is from Pat, who linked to it in the comment section. Pat was sorry Cooks Recipes didn’t include pictures, but promised me it was a good dessert. As to its name, it has flour layers. The first layer is a crumbly crust made of vanilla wafers. The second layer is a [...]
