Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie

January 15, 2013 16 Comments

I don’t really know how to explain this pie. It’s finally gone as of last night, and I actually miss it. I miss a pie.

Help.

But truly, it’s that good. Now, I made a TON of desserts over these past 5 or 6 days and everyone who came through the house had a different favorite. Two definitely stood out for me though, and this was one of them. As long as it was sitting in our fridge, I was stealing small slices I hoped no one would notice.

It’s super rich, and turns out a small bite or two (or three) was all I needed to satisfy the craving.

It was just so good I kept going back to it. [Read more...]

Oh, pecan pie, my love.

I never tried pecan pie until I first started (really) baking, which was just after my 16th birthday (AKA just a little over three years ago).

Summer Berry Tart

October 7, 2010 4 Comments

Sorry for the lack of posting guys – I’ve been super busy working on college applications and doing all that super fun stuff for school. Jeez; senior year has barely started and I already have a bad case of senioritis (definition: when you’re just SO over school, you’re a senior, no one wants to work anymore!!). Feels a little early for this, but I’ll live. Anyways, I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for A WHILE but my aunt never seemed to be able to send me the pictures (they were on her camera), so it just never happened.
Meanwhile, you should make this tart while you still have the joy that is summer berries. I love them. Give me blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries and they’re gone in minutes. How my family managed to get an entire tart covered in my favorite fruits out of me, I’m not quite sure. But I’m glad they did, because it’s delicious.

I used a shortbread tart that’s blind baked and a white chocolate, vanilla bean pastry cream. Heavenly, yes. Hard to make? Definitely not. So break out your tart pan, let’s get cookin’.
