Key Lime Pie

March 9, 2015 by Kay Leave a Comment

For a real treat and a taste of the south, make my recipe for Key Lime Pie which offers a smooth tart filling with a sweet graham cracker crust.

We recently were on vacation in Williamsburg, Virginia and in the process of doing some research of the area I came across Jamestown Pie Company. When we arrived in Williamsburg we stopped and picked up a Key Lime Pie and a Blackberry Peach Pie from the pie company to enjoy the week we were on vacation. There were four of us on vacation and we all were in love with these pies.

My husband Bill is a huge fan of Key Lime Pie. After getting back from vacation I thought I would give Key Lime Pie a try. You start with mixing together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and butter and “ta-ah”, you have a crust. Then you whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice and “ta-da” you have the filling. Sounds pretty easy, right? Well, I am here to tell you, it is easy.

I added some whipped topping to make it look pretty and add a little more sweetness to the Key Lime Pie. My husband gave a thumbs up to this pie and said it was as good as the pie from Jamestown Pie Company.

Enjoy!

Key Lime Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups finely-ground graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 5 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice*
  • Whipped topping, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and butter in 9-inch pie plate and stir to combine. Press mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of the pie plate. Bake crust on the middle oven shelf for 10 minutes, then remove and cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking, whisk together the condensed milk and egg yolks in a bowl until combined. Add juice and whisk by hand for 1 minute until combined and slightly thickened.
  • Add the filling to the crust and bake on the middle oven shelf for 15 minutes. Transfer pie to a cooling rack, and let sit until it reaches room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until chilled and set.
  • Top with whipped topping, if desired.
  • *I used bottled key lime juice. If you have access to fresh key limes, I suggest using fresh juice for this recipe.

Cookie Dough Truffles

February 1, 2015 by Kay Leave a Comment

This No bake Cookie Dough Truffles recipe is filled with chocolate chip cookie dough and dipped in chocolate. The perfect treat for your sweetheart!

Who doesn’t love to eat chocolate chip cookie dough before the cookies are baked? I know I do. If you do also, you will love Cookie Dough Truffles! The added bonus is the cookie dough is dipped in chocolate, so you get a double dose of chocolate in this special treat.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner I wanted to post a treat that was simple enough for everyone to make for their sweetheart. I don’t know too many people that don’t like Chocolate Chip Cookies, so I think Cookie Dough Truffles would be a safe bet to make for someone special in your life.

I dipped Cookie Dough Truffles in Red Chocolate and Dark Chocolate and added red, pink and white sprinkles and red hots for added color and flair.

Who ever that special someone is in your life this Valentine’s Day, be it your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, son/daughter, etc., I hope your day is special.

Enjoy!

Cookie Dough Truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until smooth. If the mixture seems dry, add in the water and mix together.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll the mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. You should get approx. 20-24 balls. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes or until firm.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave per directions on package (30 sec intervals, stirring in between). Gently dip the cookie dough ball into the candy coating. Once covered remove and let the excess chocolate fall off. Place back on wax paper. Top with sprinkles if you desire. Let the truffles rest so the chocolate can dry.

Apple Crescents

March 3, 2014 by Kay 2 Comments

Apple Crescents is a crescent roll with brown sugar sprinkled on it and then you wrap an apple slice in the middle, bake it and it becomes a caramel dripping, delicious dessert.

While the Apple Crescents bake the apple becomes soft. It’s important to use a semi-soft apple, like a Macintosh or Empire, this will ensure the apple softens and melts in your mouth.

This would be a great after school snack for kids or a weeknight dessert for the family. I would even eat them for breakfast, your options are endless!

Cookie Dough Brownies

March 2, 2014 by Kay 6 Comments

Cookie Dough Brownies starts with a fudge brownie and then is topped with a cookie dough layer and to make them even better, another layer of chocolate.

As promised in my post for Chocolate Chip Brownies, here is the recipe for Cookie Dough Brownies. This is the perfect recipe to dress up a brownie, not that a brownie needs to be dressed up, but once in awhile it’s nice to have a more decadent brownie, and this is it. I have made these multiple times for bake sales and they are always a hit. So, the next time you make brownies, take the extra few minutes and make this recipe, you won’t be disappointed.
