Hot Chocolate Nanaimo Bars
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
A twist on a classic can be a beautiful thing, and adding hot chocolate mix to a Nanaimo bar really works! Nestled between the traditional coconut base and the melted chocolate topping is a layer of hot chocolate - spiked custard icing. When the bars are topped with mini marshmallows, the hot chocolate twist is complete.
Sweet Cherry Clafoutis
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Cherry lovers rejoice! This simple and classic French dessert recipe features fresh cherries baked in a custard with slivered almonds. Traditional clafoutis is made with cherries that still have their pits, that give it some extra almond flavour. But it can be a little more difficult to eat, so we've pitted the cherries first. For a pretty finish, dust lightly with powdered sugar.

Dutch Baby Pancake with Strawberry Preserves
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
If you've never made a Dutch baby, you are in for a treat. It's like a giant puffy pancake or popover but also part souffle. We love to make ours in a well-seasoned cast iron pan. It's a perfect weekend breakfast treat and something cottage go-ers will love ntoo. We've combined our version with a jar of Mrs. Bridges Strawberry Preserves, but with strawberries in season, it makes it easy to serve it with sliced, sweetened berries too!

STRAWBERRY BOURBON COBBLER
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
The cobbler dessert has been an American summer staple dessert since the 1850's and the first written recipe for a cobbler was published in 1881 by Abby Fisher an escaped slave. Junteenth celebrations (June 19th) are celebrated to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. It also happens to fall on Father's Day in North America, so what better way to celebrate dad, then giving him a delicious seasonal dessert.

Ricotta Tart with Balsamic Strawberries
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
While we are still a little time away from fresh Ontario strawberries, this delightful tart is still a sign spring is around the corner. Feel free to top it with lemon curd instead of the strawberries if you want a bright citrus burst.
