These mini pumpkin pies are an exciting modern day twist on a nostalgic holiday classic! They are baked in a standard size muffin pan instead of as a whole pie. They are easy to make, faster to bake, and they're a tasty treat for people of all ages.

Their flavor is pleasantly pumpkin-y, deliciously sweet, and swirled with seasonal spice. And they have the best blend of textures with a crisp, flakey crust and a velvety, rich custard pie filling.

They are easy to serve and completely fitting for parties. And aren't most desserts just more enjoyable and charming when served in a mini individual serving size? They even seem fancier too.

With their smaller size plan on two of these per person, or even three for a Thanksgiving or other holiday feast. And as always take those classic pumpkin pie flavors up a notch by serving them with a generous swirl of billowy sweetened whipped cream atop.

Decadent lemon pie made with a crisp graham cracker crust, a sweet and tangy, cream cheese infused, fresh lemon filling, and it's garnished with dollops of fluffy and clouds whipped cream atop.

It is similar to a key lime pie but no eggs required. This pie is truly a lemon lovers delight!

Why You'll Love This Lemon Pie

No bake option: This simple to make pie can also become a no-bake treat if you opt to go the route of a no-bake crust.

Versatility: You can also swap the crust out for various other cookie bases such as using vanilla wafers, biscotti cookies or gingersnaps. You could also make and almond flour type crust.

Then for the filling you may also opt to use lime juice and zest in place of lemon.

Storage life: It keeps well in the fridge for several days and this lemon icebox pie can even be frozen.

5 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie!

Wether you are novice pie maker or an experienced baker this no fuss pie is an absolute dream! It takes such minimal effort but makes a perfectly impressive homemade pumpkin pie!

The beneficial ingredients here are sweetened condensed milk and a pumpkin pie spice blend. These slim down the ingredient count, plus who doesn't love sweetened condensed milk anyway? It's such a treat.

It starts with a store-bought pie crust but if you'd prefer you could always swap that out for homemade. If doing so I'd just recommend partially blind baking first so crust doesn't end up soggy, store-bought crusts tend to bake up nicely without this extra step.

This traditionally flavored pie is perfectly pumpkin-y, deliciously spiced, has just enough sweetness, and includes a nice flakey crust to enclose it.

It's worthy of a holiday celebration and no one needs to know just how easy it was for you to prepare.

Just don't forget the billowy, sweetened whipped cream for topping. I'd say that's an absolute must for a pumpkin pie garnish it adds that creamy crowning finish that pairs beautifully with the pie.

What is Flan?

Flan is a European and Latin dessert made up of a caramel topping and custard base that's made with milk, eggs and sweetener (which may already be included in the milk). It is usually baked in a water bath for the best texture, and after baking it is chilled then later inverted onto a platter.

This version is Flan de Queso - Cream Cheese Flan. It is easily my favorite! Traditional Spanish flan is so tasty but then when you add some rich and tangy cream cheese it becomes just that much better.

Here I've included step by step photos. This is especially helpful with the caramel step, be careful that you don't burn it. And that you work carefully and quickly.

Other than that this homemade flan is a breeze to make! And who doesn't love a recipe that only requires 6 ingredients?

What does it taste like?

Flan has a rich, toasted sugar caramel flavor from the topping and the base tastes very milky, perfectly sweet and lightly eggy. It is similar to creme brulee or panna cotta in taste, but texturally the three are quite different.

Tres Leches Cake Recipe

Tres Leches Cake has got to be one of the world's best kinds of cake! Maybe I'm just biased because I'm a huge fan of sweetened condensed milk and cream, and you get both in this cake.I love to serve it in the summer since it's a chilled and amazingly refreshing cake, but of course people will crave it year round!

It's a perfectly sweet and decadent and just amazingly satisfying. Plus this version has butter!

If you search for tres leches recipes on the web, you'll find about half contain one stick of butter the other half container no butter. Zero. Zilch. Nada. That's just offensive. I'm totally kidding, but when there's a choice I say butter all the way!

Butter makes everything better. It adds a wonderful richness and flavor.

This is an authentic Mexican cake that's perfect for birthdays, parties and holidays and it's just as good as what you'll get at your favorite Mexican restaurants!

Another thing you'll love about making tres leches cake at home is that it's a lot cheaper. Why pay $8 dollars a slice when you can make a full cake at home for about the same price?

Each bite truly just melts in your mouth. Just be sure to finish it with fluffy whipped cream for an over-the-top, incredibly enticing dessert!

The Best Key Lime Pie Recipe!

Key lime pie is a great dessert year round but doesn't something about it just scream spring and summer?

It's so vibrant and refreshing and I love that is an easy to make pie that doesn't require a whole lot of extra effort.

The simple filling comes together in no time and its so nice that it uses a graham cracker crust so you don't have to wait for dough to chill and it doesn't make the big floury mess all over the counter (and the floor, and your clothes if you're a messy baker like me).

Plus, it's a flavor pairing that's just meant to be the way the honey graham cracker flavor blends with the creamy lime flavor is the perfect match.

The great thing about this pie is that it fancy enough for the holidays but it's easy enough for an after dinner weekend treat. Any of the 365 days of the year are the perfect day to make this decadently luscious pie!

The Easiest Caramel Recipe Ever!

Oh the things you can make in the microwave! Honestly though, I don't know if it gets much better than this one, caramel made in the microwave. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and it is one of my favorite recipes ever!

This is caramel made easy and they taste completely perfect. She's used this recipe for about 30 years and she said everyone she gives the recipe to absolutely loves it and I can see why.

She also said it's so easy that her kids always used to make it when they were younger (adult supervision required here though people, this bowl gets HOT!). And now my kids love to help me make it, and we've been using the recipe for 4 years.

I've added a few minor changes to the recipe, like adding some vanilla and adding Maldon sea salt, add them if you've got them otherwise feel free to leave them out.

Try a batch this weekend, you'll be amazed!

The Easiest Fudge Recipe Ever!

If candy making isn't your thing then this is most definitely the recipe for you, anybody can make this simple fudge!

It can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave. I've tried both several times and my personal preference is the actually the microwave because there's less stirring and attending to it and it's faster. But either method will work great based on what you prefer.

Once you try it it's a recipe you'll have on repeat ever year when the holidays roll around! Give it as gifts but just be sure to save a small stash for yourself.

A Unique Lemonade Recipe

This Brazilian Limeade is such a tasty twist on the classic lemonade! We've all tried the basic take on lemonade with water, lemon or lime juice, and sugar (or another sweetener) but have you ever added sweetened condensed milk to the mix?? It works wonders, I love this drink!

Brazilian Limeade My Way

I've tried Brazilian limeade so many different ways over the years. Most commonly with the Brazilian limeade recipes you'll find (in the U.S. anyway), there are whole limes added to the blender. Talk about BITTER!

That white pith is chock full of bitter flavor so of course it makes sense if you blend that up into it (even though it's drained off) that it will ruin it.

So, years ago, after I tried the whole limes, I moved onto lime zest (and blend that with the mixture then drain it off afterward) and then I realized the lime zest still added a hint of bitter and my kids didn't like it so I now make it with just the lime juice and it's perfect!
