Creamy Peach Ice Cream

Creamy Peach Ice Cream

“Good and creamy, this peach ice cream is a lovely treat. This is an old-fashioned recipe you may have had as a kid in the summer after cranking the ice cream maker. Thankfully, these days, electric ice cream makers make it easy to whip up a batch of homemade ice cream. This version has a condensed and evaporated milk base, rather than a custard, which is super easy to make. The final product is extremely rich and creamy with bits of fresh peaches in every spoonful. We see lots of ice cream in our future this summer.” - Kitchen Crew

No-Bake Chocolate Oreo Pudding Pie

No-Bake Chocolate Oreo Pudding Pie

“Did someone say no-bake? Sign us up! This Oreo pudding pie couldn't be any easier to prepare. Chocolate pudding is silky and always delicious. This pie makes it even better with little bits of Oreo crumbs mixed into it. With layers of Oreos, chocolate pudding, and Cool Whip how can you go wrong? This no-bake dessert is easy to make whenever a chocolate craving hits. The hardest part is letting it chill so kids can help prepare it too.” - Kitchen Crew
Foolproof Coconut Cream Pie

Foolproof Coconut Cream Pie

“This is a simple coconut cream pie recipe everyone will enjoy. The melted marshmallows firm up when cooled. They help to hold the pie together when folded into the cream. Once chilled, it's a fluffy, creamy, and super dreamy coconut cream pie. Make sure to chill the pie until just cool. If it's chilled too long, it will be too firm and hard to fold in the whipped cream.” - Kitchen Crew
Ricotta Mascarpone Mousse with Balsamic Strawberries

Ricotta Mascarpone Mousse with Balsamic Strawberries

“This is one of those deceptively easy desserts that will really impress your guests! Alone, both components are great but when combined it becomes an amazing strawberry dessert. The mousse is light and creamy. It's rich but not overly sweet. Where things get interesting is the strawberries. The sweet strawberries mixed with balsamic vinegar and a bit of sugar are sweet, slightly savory, and tangy all at the same time. A wonderful contrast to the creamy mousse. A fantastic dessert when fresh strawberries are in season. We enjoyed this treat a lot.” - Kitchen Crew
Family Favorite 24 Hour Fruit Salad

Family Favorite 24 Hour Fruit Salad

“This is a beautiful salad. The custard is simple yet really delicious. After being in the refrigerator overnight it goes from a liquid to a tasty pudding like consistency. I love fruit, and I just felt just the cherries, and the oranges needed some help, that's why I used fruit cocktail and the mixed fruit along with the pineapple. This stuff is so good.” - Cecelia
