Pumpkin Pie Bars with Clove Whipped Cream
Looking for a recipe for pumpkin squares? Pumpkin pie bars? (They go by several aliases.) This recipes produces, essentially, the equivalent of two pumpkin pies with a traditional (evaporated milk) filling. Tradition departure: 1) one rectangular pan instead of two pie plates. 2) Super-easy, no-roll, oat crust.
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.
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.
Fruit Salad, Straight Up
Blueberries, mango, orange, strawberries and honey make up this simple but delicious fruit salad. Bananas, Cool Whip, granola, Jell-O, vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, orange zest, and herbs (such as tarragon, basil, mint) are all good options.
