Dessert

Sweet indulgences to satisfy any craving, tested desserts that are as fun to bake as they are to share.

  • Banana Cream Pie

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper banana flavour in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like banana …. maybe? ”, making a Banana Cream Pie suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. A few slices tucked under plain pudding won’t do it. I want banana through the whole slice, from…

  • Banana Cake

    This is the kind of thing I wish I’d learned sooner. The first time I made it was for Thanksgiving 2020, when we couldn’t travel, and I overbaked it by almost 10 minutes. It was still the best part of dessert somehow. That’s when I realized Banana Cake is way more forgiving than most people…

  • Christmas Cookies

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper buttery flavor in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like vanilla …. maybe? ”, making festive Christmas Cookies suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. I really thought it would be simple: roll out my favorite sugar cookie dough, cut it into shapes, and…

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies

    These chocolate chip cookies are thick, dense, and absolutely packed with rich cocoa and heavy chocolate chunks. Just pile them up on a cooling rack and you’re good to go! Honestly, it’s like meeting your new best friend. You get a rich, incredibly fudgy cookie with those perfect cracked tops that make any day better….

  • Halloween Cookies

    You guys! When my mom tasted this recipe, she said…” I think that’s one of the best things you’ve ever done”! I have to say, it’s one of my top five favorites! A Saturday afternoon experiment turned into the best Halloween Cookies ever! They have the same texture as a bakery-style shortbread and peanut butter…

  • Oatmeal Cookies

    I honestly havent really shared many cookie based recipes on my blog, but this Oatmeal Cookies recipe was one I had to share. This recipe is inspired by classic home baking and it’s simple to whip up. It’s a super tasty treat packed full of hearty oats and it’s quite satisfying. If you love sweet…

  • Milkshake

    Nothing hits the spot quite like a classic milkshake on a warm afternoon. It is the ultimate nostalgic treat and it takes me right back to the old-school diner counters of my childhood. But a lot of people struggle to get that perfect texture at home. It either turns out too thick to drink or…

  • Chocolate Cake

    Last winter we were visiting my in-laws and my mother-in-law made this dessert three nights in a row because the kids kept asking for it. I must have watched her make it four times before I figured out her little secret, she whisks hot coffee into the cocoa batter right at the end instead of…

  • Pumpkin Pie

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper pumpkin flavour in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like spice …. maybe? ”, making a Pumpkin Pie suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. I really thought it would be simple: mix pumpkin puree into my favourite custard batter, pour it in, and…

  • Red White Blue Cupcakes

    I made this for the first time the week we moved into our house in 2019, boxes everywhere, no proper kitchen setup, and somehow it turned out better than expected. What saved me that night was keeping the heat lower than I thought I should so the delicate vanilla tops didn’t over-brown. Since then it’s…

  • Chocolate Cupcakes

    This is the kind of thing I wish I’d learned sooner. The first time I made it was for Thanksgiving 2020, when we couldn’t travel, and I overcooked it by almost 10 minutes. It was still the best part of the meal somehow. That’s when I realized this recipe is way more forgiving than most…

  • Oreo Dirt Cups

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper chocolate flavour in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like cocoa …. maybe? ”, making Oreo Dirt Cups suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. I really thought it would be simple: swirl cookie crumbs through my favourite chocolate pudding, layer it, or pour…
