Meyer Lemon Pie (No Bake and 2 ingredients)

March 5, 2013 by KimM

It’s true. You can take 2 ingredients and make a fabulous pie. Well, technically, with the graham cracker crust it’s 3 ingredients, but seriously, this is so easy and delicious.

This is an easy pie that would make a great addition to Easter dinner too.

Meyer Lemon Pie (No Bake and 2 ingredients)

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh Meyer Lemon juice (can also use regular lemon juice)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free)
1 graham cracker crust or 6 mini crusts

Instructions

Squeeze lemon juice (through a strainer to catch the seeds) until you have 1/2 cup.
Pour into a bowl with 1 can sweetened condensed milk.
Mix to combine.
Place lemon/milk filling into pie crust.
Refrigerate until cooled & thickened.

I made mini pies for portion control purposes! The filling is a sweet and tart, creamy, custard-y type and can be topped with meringue or whipped topping. I prefer mine plain, but my mom always adds meringue (which I don’t like and when I was young, would always take it off and it would drive her bonkers What are kids for?!)

With Meyer Lemons in season, it’s a great time to whip one of these pies up. It takes no time at all, and the burst of citrus is exactly the thing for breaking through those winter doldrums! (For lots more citrus recipes, check out the recent Ingredient Spotlight: Citrus)

Caramel Pineapples

January 24, 2012 by Tiffany

Caramel and pineapple are a surprisingly good combination. The tropical sweetness of the pineapple balances the sugary goodness of the caramel.

This dessert was served to us at a gathering a few months ago. There are only two ingredients and it involves a bit of dangerous cooking.

It takes 3-4 hours of boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk to turn it into caramel. But you must make sure that the can stays completely submerged during the boiling time or you risk the can exploding. Sugary sweet magic happens during all that boiling. When you open the can, it’s full of marvelous caramel!

Chill the caramel and then you can slice it. The slices are wonderful on top of pineapple rings.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

White Chocolate Raspberry Homemade Ice Cream and a $200 Walmart Card Giveaway!

November 22, 2011 by Tiffany

It’s no secret that I love ice cream. I’m pretty sure ice cream is a perfect food. It’s so creamy and sweet and easy to eat. If I could get away with it, I’d eat two bowls a day.

I love to make ice cream too. I almost always do a variation on the sweetened condensed milk and half & half recipe. Now I’ve got a variation that you are going to love. It will open a whole world of new homemade ice cream flavors to you.

The secret is International Delight coffee creamer! I did have to play around with this a little bit. (I know. Such a sacrifice to have to eat more ice cream.)

At first, I used all International Delight and no half & half. It worked, but it didn’t set up nearly as well as I thought it should. So the next batch I used 1 cup half & half and 1 cup International Delight. Perfect!

I’ve tried the White Chocolate Raspberry and Peppermint Mocha flavors in the ice cream recipe. Both were delicious.

Here’s what you’ll need to make it (minus the half & half that didn’t make it into the photo): [Read more...]

Chocolate Pretzel Fudge

June 16, 2011 by Tiffany

Fudge + pretzels = Scrumptious!

This is an easy fudge to make. It’s a variation of Mocha Fudge. Just melt the ingredients together and throw in a handful of broken pretzel pieces. Lick the pan. Then wait. And wait. And wait a bit more.

About 3 hours in the fridge later and it’s ready to cut and eat.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Frozen Mocha Marble Loaf

February 25, 2011 by Tiffany

If you’re looking for a dessert you can make ahead of time, that’s full of chocolatey, coffee goodness, this is it!

I made this for our Valentine’s Day dinner. The recipe came from The Sweets Life. Natalie linked it up on Ingredient Spotlight, the week we focused on sweetened condensed milk. Natalie has all kinds of scrumptious recipes on her site.

I thought I might serve this with chocolate syrup or even hot fudge, but it doesn’t need any embellishment. The smooth mocha and creamy vanilla on a chocolate cookie crust is all that’s needed.

Ingredient Spotlight: Sweetened Condensed Milk

February 9, 2011 by Tiffany

Get your sweet tooth ready. This post is going to be a syrupy sugar rush!

Most of the cans of sweetened condensed milk in my pantry are destined for homemade ice cream. My base recipe uses a can of this gooey goodness and half & half. I stir in other ingredients for a variety of flavors.

Here are some of my ice cream recipes and a couple other recipes as well: [Read more...]

Hot Chocolate Ice Cream

January 28, 2011 by Tiffany

Hot chocolate + homemade ice cream = bliss!

I love ice cream. This easy homemade version has just 3 ingredients. It tastes like a creamy cup of hot chocolate, only it’s cold and you eat it with a spoon. Yum!

The other night I was craving a bowl of ice cream, but didn’t want to brave the snow to go buy some. (Am I the only person who likes ice cream in winter? I hope not!) Jim suggested that I make homemade ice cream and the idea of adding hot cocoa mix to my basic recipe popped into my mind.

We have a counter top ice cream maker, similar to this one – Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker. Actually, we have two, both gifts. I keep the bowls in the freezer for whenever the ice cream mood hits. It takes about 30 minutes to whip up a batch.

Homemade Coffee Ice Cream

June 5, 2009 by Tiffany

coffee-ice-cream-done

Coffee ice cream is one of my favorite things in the whole world. I used to buy pints of Haagen-Dazs and eat it straight from the carton. Ben and Jerry’s Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz got me through one of my pregnancies. (Interestingly, that child is my youngest coffee drinker.) Blue Bell Mocha Madness has called my name many times recently. I really like coffee ice cream. And I’m very happy that my homemade version turned out with that perfect touch of coffee flavor and creamy coffee color.

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

choc-chip-peanut-butter-cookies-stack

Looking for a cookie recipe with no egg? Do you like recipes that have only 5 ingredients? Then this is the cookie for you. I found these while searching for recipes using baking mix, which I had bought to bake Coconot Cookies a few weeks ago. Despite having sweetened condensed milk as one of the ingredients, the cookies weren’t overly sweet, allowing the peanut butter taste to come through. [Read more...]

Mocha Fudge

December 18, 2008 by Tiffany

I hope you have will power, because this stuff is perfect, smooth, deep chocolate. It’s easy to make and turns out every time.

Gather up your ingredients:

1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips (not the full bag you see in the pic)
2 Tbs. milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 tsp. instant coffee dissolved in 1 Tbs. water OR 1 Tbs. coffee liqueur
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup nuts, optional

Dig in the very back of your pantry for the coffee liqueur. Wipe the dust off the bottle and take a good sniff. Ponder how good this would be to pour into hot chocolate.

Okay, back to the recipe. Put all the ingredients (except the nuts) in a heavy saucepan and melt them together over low heat. When it’s good and smooth, pour it into a foil lined pan (add the nuts first if you’re using them). I have made this many times with the instant coffee and it’s also good that way, so if you don’t have liqueur, don’t feel you need to buy any.

Pop the pan into the frige and chill for about 3 hours. Turn the fudge out onto a cutting board and peel off the foil. Cut into small squares. Wetting the knife helps this process go smoother. Store in the fridge and try not to eat the whole pan by yourself!
