Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake Shots by Cravings of a Lunatic

I just love no bake desserts. They make me happy. I think it's the fact that you can fool people into thinking you spent all day making cute little desserts... when you really spent all day watching things like The Real Housewives of Everywhere and Anywhere. So apparently I'm admitting to getting a kick out of tricking folks. Not sure what that says about me. Not sure I really care. I've got a full belly and I caught up on all The Real Housewives this week. So life is good. And when … [Read more...]

Black Forest Mini Bundt Cakes by Cravings of a Lunatic

I love black forest cake... I love mini desserts... so it seemed like this would be an awesome way to combine the two things. Yet I swear I hit every roadblock known to bakers with this recipe. Every thing that could wrong did. The recipe I initially used was a brownie recipe...bad recipe... The pan I used was a mini brownie bundt pan...bad pan... I forgot to grate my chocolate and threw whole 1 oz pieces in my mixer, yup, bad baker... I ran out of eggs while making … [Read more...]

Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake by Cravings of a Lunatic

There is nothing I like better than a tropical theme. Well unless you count actually being in the tropics. Since I'm stuck waiting out old man winter here in the cold Canuck climate I was thrilled when they announced the theme this month. I figure if you can't be in the tropics, then pretending to be is a close second. While I'd much rather be eating this cake in Hawaii being served Blue Hawaiians by a gorgeous pool boy, who if I'm lucky looks a lot like Timothy Olyphant, I'll have to … [Read more...]

Tiny Turtle Cheesecakes (No Bake) by Cravings of a Lunatic

I can hear the collective gasp of surprise now... Kim made something Turtley... Shocking right! I think you'll forgive my obsession when you realize how flipping cute these are. They are also the easiest little cheesecakes in the world to make. We'll call them "cheater cheesecakes". And we won't even feel a little bit bad about it. Trust me, these will make those of you who like to spend hours prepping your desserts change your tune. They take about 3.57 minutes to make... and … [Read more...]

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

February 22, 2013 by Kim Beaulieu 146 Comments

This may be one of the easiest cheesecakes you will ever make. I love cheesecakes that are baked in the oven, but some days I just do not have time to mess around. When I have days like that I do things like this. That way I get an amazing dessert without sacrificing hours in the kitchen. Whipping Cream Week continues. This one uses it in the filling. It's a great way to use up spare heavy cream you may have around the house. … [Read more...]

Red Velvet Cookie Stacks

Welcome to more of Whipping Cream Week. I thought I would share some ways to use the cream you have in your fridge right now. You know we all do it. We buy a carton of cream for something then we pop it in the fridge and forget about it. Well not any more people. Pull out those cartons and have at it. You can make things like Red Velvet Cookie Stacks with Red Velvet Whipping Cream with that spare cream in your fridge. By the end of the week I hope I have you running out to buy extra whipping … [Read more...]

This month is all about chocolate. Rich, luscious chocolate. I love the stuff. I would swim in it if it was socially acceptable. I would eat if for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could. Any excuse to bake with chocolate is a great day in my world. Today is a fabulous day. I was able to bake with chocolate and turn it into a turtle treat. … [Read more...]

Cakepops... it's a love/hate relationship for me. I love to look at cakepops other people like Bakerella make. She is so talented and it makes me think I can make pretty cakepops too. Then I realize I can't. But you totally can...and I'm here to help you. … [Read more...]
