Chocolate Coconut Rum Balls

September 28, 2019

Chocolate coconut rum balls are an easy no bake treat that is perfect for any occasion. They taste like the chocolate and coconut candy bar that we are all familiar with, but spiked with a bit of rum. They are a variation of my coconut rum balls recipe and feature two different types of rum.

The flavor develops even more overnight, making them a great option for a make ahead dessert.

Most often, we make rum balls around the holidays. Which is the time of the year when many of us are indulging in two things: booze and sugar. Check and check.

And, because we usually make these around Thanksgiving and Christmas, I need a recipe that doesn’t require much time or energy when I have a hundred other things going on.

Cherry Rum Balls Recipe

Coconut Rum Balls are like a taste of the tropics in an easy, no-bake treat for adults. The flavor gets even better overnight, making rum balls a perfect make ahead recipe. This version features toasted coconut and coconut rum. Every year, we make this easy rum balls recipe for the holidays.

No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits

July 28, 2019

No bake lemon cheesecake parfaits make a delicious spring and summer dessert. These parfaits are made without gelatin or condensed milk. Just a handful of ingredients whipped together and layered into individual glasses for a sweet, tart, lemony treat.

No bake cheesecake bars are on of my favorite treats for a crowd, but having individual servings are great for those times when you want your own dessert.

Berries are a natural match with lemon and I found absolutely beautiful raspberries at the market, so I used them here for a bit of color. You could swap out the raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or any summer fruit that you like.

No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

July 27, 2019

Bars are the go-to dessert when you are feeding a crowd. If I can get away with not turning on the oven, that’s even better. These No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars have a chocolate crust with a thin layer of melted chocolate in between for that something extra. Make a pan of no bake strawberry cheesecake bars too for all of the red, white and blue summer holidays.

Super creamy, silky smooth filling swirled with fresh blueberry sauce make these bars as pretty as they are delicious.

No bake strawberry cheesecake bars

May 11, 2019

No bake strawberry cheesecake bars swirled with fresh strawberry sauce are quick, easy and made from scratch. The filling has only 4 ingredients, and like my no bake blueberry cheesecake, it uses no gelatin and comes together in only a few minutes. The buttery crust is made from crushed wafer cookies mixed with a bit of butter and sugar.

The strawberry sauce tastes like fresh strawberry jam and is swirled through the cheesecake making a dessert that is as delicious as it is pretty.

Favorite Blueberry Recipes for Summer

July 1, 2018

July is National Blueberry Month and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to "blueberry all the things".  While the season is over here, it is in full swing in other parts of the country and blueberries are readily available.  Let's make some blueberry recipes and celebrate this sweet little fruit.

Blueberries are my favorite fruit and based on the number of blueberry recipes I write, it’s pretty obvious that I’m biased to this little berry.  While most of the recipes are sweet, blueberry also works well in savory dishes, like that blueberry bourbon bbq sauce in the bottom corner.
