Tarheel Pie
My husband discovered this recipe and it reminds me a little of a Kentucky Derby Pie. That’s one of my favorite pies and since this one is all chocolate I had a feeling I’d love it. This is a simple recipe and I used a pre-made pie crust so that made it a lot easier.…

Maple Pumpkin Pie
Happy Thanksgiving! I feel like pumpkin pie is a thanksgiving standard so why not do this Maple Pumpkin Pie today! Unless you’re using a pre-made crust, generally pie recipes are a little more time consuming since you do have to make the pie crust ahead of time. I used the all-butter crust recipe that was…

No Bake Espresso Chocolate Pudding Pie
Another easy recipe plus this recipe was very rich and delicious. The crust is a simple mix of crushed chocolate cookies, melted butter, and a little espresso powder; press it into your pie plate and freeze while you make the filling. The pudding comes together on the stove and is so chocolatey. There’s a bit of whisking…

Intensement Chocolat
I’ve wanted to make this recipe for a while but honestly it’s been a little intimidating. Not just because there are about 5 different things you have to make for this, but also time wise. Also it’s french and those recipes can be a little…. errr… fussy. Nevertheless, the time came for me to try…

Eclairs
I made eclairs a few years ago and they didn’t quite turn out. We had some friends over who wanted to learn how to make them so he and my husband had a little tutorial. While I didn’t actually make the eclairs pictured I “oversaw” the whole process to ensure quality control (😉) and making…

English Toffee Shortbread
The Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook is a lot of fun and shoutout to my aunt for buying it for me. I should probably be drinking tea with some of these bakes, but so far all of the ones I’ve tried have been pretty good. This recipe was so easy, and shortbread is quickly climbing the ranks as…

Deep Dish Molten Chocolate Coffee Blondies
This one came together super fast and felt like the perfect little treat to bake when you want something warm and chocolatey but don’t want to deal with a whole batch of cookies. I didn’t do anything fancy—just grabbed a couple of ramekins and got started. You start by browning some butter, which only takes…

Oreo Tiramisu
This recipe was super easy and I love that it makes a small portion. I didn’t want to use the little ramekins I had so I ended up just using a small serving bowl I had. Start by making the tiramisu filling and it comes together pretty easily. You start by whisking egg yolks and…

Xangos (Mexican Cheesecake Chimichangas)
X is always a hard one during these Baking Through the Alphabet series but I found this while researching recipes and it intriguied me. I could not find the Philadelphia ready-made cheesecake filling the recipe called for, so I ended up making my own. It was delicious and I could have (and did) eat it…
