banana cream pie
This came about simply because I wanted to try out a Nilla Wafer crust and also had a couple of bananas to spare that weren’t overripe. You want to use bananas that are just ripe, the kind you would normally eat as is, and not the kind of overripe bananas you would use for banana…

mississippi mud pie
This is not a difficult recipe, it’s just a little time consuming, because you do need to give each layer adequate time to set and get firmer before adding the next layer. If you did not wait to let it set, you may get messy results. After looking at a bunch of different recipes online,…

guava meringue pie
Greetings! I can’t believe half the year is already over! I’ve been enjoying my days off experimenting in the kitchen immensely. It’s a luxury that I hope I never take for granted. Even though we don’t have a large kitchen at all, I’ve been putting my laptop and work stool on the narrow space between…

amarena cherry brûlée tart
Greetings! Once the beginning of February rolls around, I often look for Valentine’s Day dessert ideas. This recipe was based on a similar dessert that uses raspberries instead of Amarena cherries, from a book called Tarts: The art of baking irresistible sweet and savory pastries, by Maggie Mayhew, which was published 2002. The crust was…

guava lemon bars
Happy Valentine’s Day! This wasn’t a planned thing, but since I’ve often made stuff with guava for the month of February, and I just happened to have some leftover guava paste in the fridge, this was bound to happen. And I simply used a common recipe online for lemon bars with shortbread crust to make…

I searched for a fig-tamarind jam combo online back in November, but didn’t find any, but now there is a company that puts out a Fig Tamarind Jam!! But since I…

guava manchego mini galettes
For a long time, I hated Valentine’s day. Now I’m okay with it. I just don’t go overboard with it. I guess I don’t like the feeling of being forced to celebrate something and all the advertising around it, especially here in the USA. Most of our holidays are low on meaning and high in…

butternut squash galette
One Word: Flakey! By the way, is it “flakey” or “flaky”? I’m going with flakey. If you like a flakey crust recipe, and you don’t mind the “rusticity” of a galette, then this recipe from Epicurious is for you! Autumn roasting of fruit continues! That’s right, butternut squash is technically a fruit. Crazy, huh? And yes,…

no bake coffee nutella pie!
What business does a baking blog have making “no bake” items? Well, it has nutella and coffee, so…does anyone really care? 😉 It’s no bake, except for the crust, but no big deal. 10 minutes in the oven is all you need for the crust. You can probably even skip that, but putting it in…
