One Spoonful Of This Dessert And You’ll Be Hooked Forever

Every now and then you feel like having a nice dessert. I don’t mean after your meal – I mean having just dessert instead of your lunch! What? You don’t get that feeling? Well, I certainly do. And the only way to get rid of it is to make a quick and yummy dessert before your husband gets home and realizes that’s the only meal you’ve had all day. I may or may not have done that today – but if my husband asks, I’ll deny everything.

Just kidding, kind of! I did make this incredible berry crumble from the berries I happened to have in the freezer. And I did have only this for lunch today. But I’m not going to hide the dessert from my husband, no way! It’s way to delicious for that. Besides, how am I going to get a second portion of it after dinner tonight if I need to keep it a secret?

Who doesn’t love a nice, creamy cheesecake and what better way to get your fix, than packing all that taste into neat and convenient little bars? Perfect for lunches or as a side appetizer or dessert during a dinner party. When you slide your fork through this delectable dish, one of the best parts is breaking through the crisp graham cracker crust. It’s a fruity, cheesy, and creamy recipe that is sure to be a hit at any party!

Here’s what our friends at 12 Tomatoes had to say about these raspberry cheesecake bars:

Cheesecake is one of those desserts that tastes light and refreshing (probably because it’s not overly sweet and cloying), but it can feel pretty heavy if you accidentally over-indulge. We love cheesecake, but wanted to make a version of it that was a little smaller than standard, so we whipped up these raspberry cheesecake squares, they’re super cute and super tasty!

Quick tip: Use your favorite cookies or crackers for the crumb crust!

Want an easy dessert that isn’t a lot of hassle?  Still warm enough that you’d rather not turn on the oven?  Well, try making some of these Raspberry-Hibiscus Popsicles. They’re surprisingly easy to make, very refreshing on a hot day, and not quite like anything you can just buy at a grocery store.

“Keep it simple, stupid.” I had a math teacher in high school who was very fond of saying that.  Though there are plenty of fancy and complicated recipes that I love bringing to life in my kitchen, I have to admit that some of the best ones are also the simplest.  I had never made popsicles prior to giving these a try, and they came out beautifully. Can you guess how many times I’ve “had to” make them since? I think I’ve lost count, actually!

Quick tip: Use a mixture of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries for extra delicious popsicles!

This White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is a true classic.  The mix of light tartness with soft, creamy sweetness is sure to delight chocolate and fruit lovers alike, and the raspberry swirl is quite visually pleasing, as well.

I really enjoy mixing my fruit with my chocolate.  And though I will indulge in a bit of the darker variety, now and then, something about that white chocolate flavor has always really enticed me.  This cheesecake recipe was right down my alley.  You will often see white chocolate raspberry cheesecake offered by gourmet fine dining establishments, and it isn’t difficult to see why.

I know that raspberry is a bit tart for many people, but the white chocolate and that cheesecake creaminess really balance it well.  It makes for a nice contrast that really pleases the taste buds.
