Strawberry Whipped Cake

Strawberries are everywhere in the store and each time I go I buy more and now I have to find recipes to use them in. This is so light, sweet, and creamy. It tastes best when left to defrost a little. Perfect end to a warm spring day.

Even Better Banoffee Pie

I already have a banoffee pie recipe posted but this one is so different and delicious that I have to share!

It has a chocolate crust, a thick layer of dulce de leche, bananas, and sweetened whipped cream cheese. It's one of those pies that is rich but it's hard to stop eating.

White Chocolate-Cherry Pie

No bake cheesecakes can sometimes be a little heavy and not as wonderful as a baked cheesecake. The combination of the Oreo crust, white chocolate and cream cheese filling, and topped with cherries makes this one of the most delicious no bake cheesecakes I've had.
