My little brother, Alex, is absolutely obsessed with pumpkin pie, cheesecake, and speculoos cookies. He also loves skittles and sour patch kids, but of baked desserts, those three are by far his top favorites.

I occasionally make pumpkin pie, but I like to experiment a lot more than making the same classics over and over. So at the beginning of the fall, I bought a bunch of pumpkin cans with the task of coming up with new pumpkin recipes. I came up with this one as a sort of spin-off of my sweet potato cheesecake recipe (Alex also loves that one!). I used the same crust as that recipe, but the filling is a whipped-cream based filling.

This past weekend I was experimenting with my new-to-me ice cream maker that I bought a couple weeks ago at a garage sale. I wanted to make something you can’t normally buy at a grocery store, so I opted for frozen yogurt, since it’s harder to come by. Because this was my first time, I made a bit more than I intended to, but this recipe can easily be halved. Or, if you also want to make a large batch, I’m sure that this will not be hard to finish, due to its out-of-this-world deliciousness! 

Also, if you don’t have an ice cream maker but would still like to try making this recipe at home, it is possible, just read the recipe for instructions!  (more…)

Ever had kiwi popsicles? If not, you will definitely have to try this naturally sweet treat, and if you have you already know how great these things are!  (more…)

If it’s really hot where you live this summer, you’ll definitely be wanting to pull out that ice cream maker and try out this delicious berry sherbet!  (more…)
