No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
These super soft cookies contain hints of caramel and molasses thanks to dark brown sugar. Using unsweetened peanut butter allows the other flavors to shine and keeps the sweetness in check. Old-fashioned rolled oats work best here, but you can also use quick-cooking oats—just don’t use instant.

Vegan Carrot Cake Recipe
Our Vegan Carrot Cake is super moist, with all the spices and delicious textures you’d find in a classic carrot cake—even the vegan cream cheese frosting gives you that little tang you want spread on top. Applesauce is a surprisingly good substitute for eggs and helps baked goods retain moisture.

Shake in a Bag Ice Cream Recipe

The easiest way to make ice cream. Just put ice and salt in a big Ziploc bag with a smaller bag full of the ice cream mix, shake away, and voila! Soft serve! If you want to add other flavors, chocolate syrup, jam, extracts, etc. feel free. Don’t add chunky mix-ins like cookies or nuts or chips until after the ice cream is finished.

Sweet Corn No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe

I love this mashup of two heroes of summer. I made this recipe no-churn to keep it easy, and used pre-cooked corn, so that it can take advantage of leftovers. It comes together super quick and would be the perfect accompaniment to a blackberry or blueberry pie, or a caramel or nut tart, or just on its own.

Pecan Crunch Tart Recipe
This Pecan Crunch Tart is our newest take on classic pecan pie, a Southern staple. The most essential difference is that this recipe is made with phyllo dough for a flaky, buttery, crunchy, and completely delicious crust. This tart would pair incredibly with a little whipped cream and a hot cup of coffee.
