Lemon Curd

I have always loved lemon curd for the intense sunburst hit of citrus that it brings to the table. I like this Cooking Light recipe because it calls for very little butter compared to other recipes so it is still light and refreshing while maintaining a spreadable consistency…all in all, the perfect balance between lemon curd and lemon filling.

Natural Dyes for Buttercream Frosting

I know what you’re thinking: spinach or beet juice in my buttercream frosting?! Yuck! But you will be amazed at how you don’t even taste them, especially with the small quantities being used. As far as I’m concerned, I would much rather have my family consume a little spinach, beet or other natural dye than a chemically-produced version.

Hot Chocolate Whipped Cream

The recent April snow flurries got me daydreaming about hot chocolate and the creamy chocolaty flavor of whipped cream melting into my hot cocoa. These bites of swirled cream and chocolate are always my favorites. So, I decided to flavor my homemade whipped cream, incorporating that rich hot chocolate taste into each spoonful of whipped cream.

There are many variations of caramel, but I love this basic and simple recipe from Simply Recipes. The only ingredients are sugar, heavy cream and butter and the result is a smooth, rich, caramel sauce that is perfect for many things, including caramel apples and ice cream sundaes.

Cream Cheese Frosting

This cream cheese frosting is easy to make and great for many desserts, including carrot cake, cinnamon rolls and banana bars. The addition of the cream cheese makes the frosting more substantial and less sweet than a standard powdered sugar glaze.

Homemade Whipped Cream

It is so easy to make whipped cream and the result is far superior to the store-bought tub and spray can alternatives. The silky texture and sweet, rich flavor complement pies, hot cocoa, strawberry shortcake, and more! I use the following recipe as a base for my homemade whipped cream but I add other flavors and garnishes to complement different desserts.

Powdered Sugar Glaze

This powdered sugar glaze is a great drizzle for pound cakes, hot cross buns, cakes and kransekake, among other things. It is sweet, light and runnier than most traditional frostings.

Freezer Jam

In my mind, homemade berry jam is in another league than store-bought variations. And I love how fresh the freezer versions taste compared to the cooked and canned jellies. Each bite transports me to the berry patch as I taste the freshly-picked berries and remember all of the fun berry-picking excursions with my grandma and mom when I was little.

Berry Butter

Berry butter takes me back to my childhood, spending summers at the lake. We would have berry butter made with freshly-picked raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. It is colorful, rich, creamy and makes a festive spread for breakfasts and snacks.
