Strawberry Layered Jello Cups

We love Jello In our house. Do You? It’s so easy to use in so many kinds of things. It was awesome in Mile High Strawberry Jello Pie, as well as Rainbow Jello Christmas Cookies and Red White And Blue Jello Cheese Cake Parfaits.

Strawberry Jello Cup With Sprinkles

I wanted to make a cute Valentine’s Day Treat that wasn’t full of sugar. By using sugar-free Jello I was able to make them with fewer calories and carbs. However, if you are against article sweeteners, you would want to use regular Jello. Also, real whipped cream could be substituted for the cool whip.

Strawberry Layered Jello Top View These Strawberry Layered Jello Cups are very easy to make, however, they are time-consuming. Allow your self several hrs to make them, as they have to firm up in between the layers. I only made 3 layers. Depending on how large of cups you use, you could do more layers. 

Jello Cups with Cherry

Could Different Flavors of Jello Be Used ?-

Yes, definitely any red jello could be used for making these Valentine ones.  I am thinking of using lime to make some for Saint Patricks Day and maybe some yellow and blue or green for Easter.

Dark Chocolate Brownie With Strawberry Butter Cream Frosting

If you are looking for a quick throw together Valentines’ Day snack or dessert, these brownies are perfect. Brownies are one of my favorites treats. Did you try my Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies or the Halloween Cheesecake Brownies that we shared? Both were delicious with the cheesecake filling. However, I also love buttercream frosting, with fresh strawberries added it was extra good. 

Dark Chocolate Brownie With Strawberry Butter Cream Frosting

I decided I wanted to make some sort of Valentine’s day treat, so I start looking around in the pantry to see what I had to work with. The cupboards are usually pretty well stocked with boxed cake mixes and brownie mixes. If I see them on sale, I pick up several whether I need them or not. Cake mixes are so versatile, we love using them for a short cut to make cookies. Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies , Almond Joy Cake Mix Cookies, and Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies are a few great examples.

3 Brownies

Cake mixes and brownie mixes are also always good for dump cakes like Slow Cooker Apple Spice Dump Cake or . Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake.5 Brownies

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day at your house?

No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie

by 1 Comment

No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie in an oreo crust is so easy and delicious. With creamy chocolate pudding, cool whip, and chocolate chips sprinkled on top. You are sure to be the hit of the party if you take this pie to your next pot luck.No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie No-Bake Chocolate Cream PieNo Bake Chocolate Chip Pie

Do you like no-bake desserts as much as I do? Most of the pies that I have shared have been no-bake EASY NO BAKE BANANA CREAM PIE !, Mile High Strawberry Jello Pie and Millionaire Pie are all great examples of easy no-bake desserts. You should definitely give them a try. No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie

Normally if I’m going to eat pie, I would choose a fruit pie or a cheesecake-like   The Best No-Bake Cherry Cheese- Cake!. However, the other members of my family love chocolate pie. Therefore, I thought I’d give it a try.  This recipe was very easy, by using a store-bought, pre-made chocolate crust, instant pudding, (I used sugar-free) whipped topping (cool whip) and chocolate chips I was able to whip it up in just a few minutes. However, for best results, the pie should chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Slice of Pie

Could you use a different crust?  Absolutely. my guess is this pie would be great with a graham cracker crust.  You could also make your crust with Oreos or graham crackers. I normally keep a few premade crusts on hand though so if I want to make a pie in a hurry I can.

Ready To Serve

How to Make No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie :

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

  • Oreo Prepared Pie Crust (or crust of choice)

Fr. Apple Pie With Cinnamon Roll Crust

by 2 Comments

French Apple Pie With Cinnamon Roll Crust is fantastic. So easy to make with just a tube of cinnamon rolls, a can of apple pie filling, pecans, and a few other ingredients. You will be a huge hit if you make this for your family or take it for pot luck.

French Apple Pie With Cinnamon Roll Crust

French Apple Pie With Cinnamon Roll Crust

French Apple Pie With Cinnamon Roll Crust

This pie was delicious. We had it on Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. I had been thinking about making an apple pie and couldn’t decide what kind of crust to do. After researching several different recipes, the cinnamon roll crust was the winner.  This is the first pie I’ve shared that isn’t a no-bake. In the past I have shared some great pies EASY NO BAKE BANANA CREAM PIE !, The Best No-Bake Cherry Cheese- Cake ! ,Millionaire Pie   all delicious -give them a try.

Single slice of pie on plate

My husband loves apple pie and I felt bad making it when he isn’t eating sugar. Luckily he also loves carrot cake and his very thoughtful daughter made him a keto version. However, I have never been a huge fan of regular apple pie but adding the pecans and using the cinnamon roll crust, was a complete game-changer.

Pie on spatula

This recipe is made with pie filling, but of course, if you are feeling ambitious, you could use fresh apples and make your own filling. I’m kinda famous for taking short cuts because anything  I can do to save 15 minutes or a half hr is awesome. 

How To Make French Apple Pie With Cinnamon Roll Crust :

INGREDIENTS  Needed:

  • Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls -(I used Pillsbury)
  • All-purpose flour
  • Brown sugar
  •  Ground cinnamon
  • Cold Butter
  • Chopped Pecans
  • Apple  Pie Filling 

Instructions For Making The Pie :

  1. Pre-heat oven 
  2.  Separate dough into 8 rolls, and place cinnamon side up on the counter, or a tray. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. 
  3. In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter using a fork or pastry blender until crumbly. Stir in pecans; set aside.
  4. Press and flatten each roll into 3 1/2-inch round. In ungreased 9-inch pie plate, place 1 roll in the center; surround with the remaining 7 rolls. Pat and press to stretch the dough to cover the bottom and side of the pie plate. Make sure there are no holes between the flattened rolls. Bake 10 minutes.
  5. Spoon pie filling in the center of cinnamon roll crust; top evenly with streusel. Bake 20 to 23 minutes or until edges of crust and topping are golden brown. Cover edges of crust with strips of foil or a crust shield during the last 5 to 8 minutes of baking, if necessary, to prevent excessive browning. Cool 1 hour.

 If you chose to use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls, microwave, and drip over cooled pie. However, I chose to leave it off

The Best Peppermint Shake

In the past, I probably would have gone to https://www.chick-fil-a.com or Friendly’s to pick up a peppermint milkshake. However, now that I know how easy it is to grab the stuff at the grocery and whip it up in 5 minutes or less, it is so much quicker.

Remembering my past, making milkshakes at Friendlys or Frisch’s was never my favorite thing to do. Now that I have a ninja blender though, its no trouble at all, it mixes up so quickly.

What is needed to make The Best Peppermint Milkshake?

  • Vanilla Ice Cream- ( I use carbsmart by Breyers  just because I need any help I can get)
  • Milk (whole or 2%)
  • Peppermint Extract
  • Crushed Peppermint Candy (I used candy canes)
  • Red Food Coloring (optional)
  • Cherry 
  • Redi Whip or Whipped Cream 
  • Candy Cane for garnish (optional)
