Deconstruct a Pie
Deconstruct a pie, using a free and easy shortbread instead of a crust. Perfect for when you’re in the mood for pie, but don’t feel like rolling, crimping, fussing, swearing, and guessing whether or not the filling has reached the right consistency while you worry that you’re over-baking the crust.
Banana Cream Pie Bars
Enjoy banana cream pie bars from scratch without touching a rolling pin or turning on the stove. Chessmen cookies, Cool Whip, cream cheese, instant pudding. Trust me; this does not taste like an “easy version.” It’s the real deal.
Vodka Infused Rainbow Jello Mold
This vodka infused rainbow Jello mold could be the hit of your next party. Six colors, twelve layers … yeah, it’s incredibly ambitious. And it’s also time consuming. But it doesn’t require special skills or a Ph.D in Jellology. Resist the urge to keep tasting it as you go, though, or you’ll never make it to the final layer.
Strawberry Shortcake
Forget your fancy appliances. Making these biscuits by hand with a pastry cutter will produce light, beautiful shortcakes that will balance perfectly with strawberries and whipped cream.
