Pavlova is an Australian meringue desert. This one is a chocolate raspberry pavlova recipe that is topped with fresh cream and chocolate shavings. I’ll admit that I am not the best meringue baker, but I took some liberties to make it easy peasy. I love the addition of the chocolate to the meringue. I am also in love with all berries. Raspberries are no exception! The secret to making this pavlova is to make sure it has no moisture while baking. That’s why spring is the time to bake a pavlova.

Irresistible Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
I love Reese’s, but candy prices are through the roof! Here are some homemade Reese’s peanut butter “cups” for you to make. They are so good, and the best part is that you can use whatever ingredients you want without all of that yucky preservatives. If you want, you could also make your own peanut butter for them, use different chocolate, or throw in some Nutella instead. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not some sea salt sprinkled on top, or maybe crispy rice cereal? Or even caramel!
Beautiful Green Rainbow Cake Recipe for St. Patrick’s Day
The luck of the Irish is in every bite of this St. Patrick’s Day green rainbow cake. It’s bright, happy colors are just the thing to bring some shamrock and gold to the end of the rainbow. I made four layers, but you can make as many (or as little) as you want. You can also change out the colors, if you want an actual rainbow. Below, I included a mascarpone cheese substitution, too, if you can’t find it. The cake itself is a simple vanilla cake, but not overpoweringly so.

Perfect Cheesecake Without A Graham Cracker Crust Recipe
I created this recipe for a cheesecake without a graham cracker crust because I prefer not to use the graham crust. The store-bought variety is designed for pies and cannot contain all the cheesecake filling. Instead, I opted for a straightforward flour base, which provided a more traditional texture and was easier for me to prepare. The flour crust also ensures a sturdy foundation for the dense cheesecake layer, preventing any leaks or collapses. You can prebake the crust for a crispier edge.
No-Bake Chocolate Truffle Recipe
The other day, I had a sweet tooth craving. I also had a bunch of baking ingredients but no real plan or recipe in mind. Enter this no-bake chocolate truffle recipe, a creation from my desperation search of something sweet. They are an easy snack to make that combines the richness of chocolate with the natural sweetness of dates. Perfect for those seeking a decadent treat without the hassle of baking, these truffles are easy to prepare and offer a customizable experience with various coatings.
Irresistible Chocolate Oat Balls Rolled in Coconut Recipe (Healthy Bounty Bites)
To help out The Husband with his workout routine, I decided to make these healthy bounty bites: chocolate oat balls rolled in coconut. Let me tell you how much I appreciate him working out. :) So I want to encourage him with these are little balls of deliciousness. For an added dose of goodness, you can add some protein powder to the chocolate, which will hide the chalky taste. These healthy bounty balls are also a good snack, a breakfast bite, or a homemade gift for Christmas.
Moist Banana Bread Muffins (An Easy Recipe!)
Ripe bananas be gone! Today, I’m going to make some moist banana bread muffins for a quick and easy treat to use up as all those ripe bananas that I always have lying around. Part of the reason that I have so many banana recipes on this site. The recipe balances the natural sweetness of bananas with a hint of cinnamon, and the addition of chocolate chips creates a rich, indulgent treat. I love to grab a yummy muffin when I’m dashing out the door to work or enjoying as mid-day snack.
How to Make Peach Galette with This Easy Recipe
I love peaches, which are typically in season late June through August. This easy recipe will show you how to make peach galette with that bounty. I know I’m a little early for this recipe (or maybe a little late, if you are the glass-is-half-empty kind of person), but the Giant was having a sale on peaches the other day, so I decided to whip this up.
Decadent Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote Sauce Topping (Recipe)
The Husband and I used to have a cheesecake obsession, eating a slice everyday. I had another cheesecake attack recently, so I whipped up this cheesecake with blueberry compote sauce topping. Because I love cheesecake. And blueberries. And cheesecake and blueberries together.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake with Bananas Recipe
Do you like peanut butter and banana sandwiches? That’s why I also love this chocolate and peanut butter cake with bananas. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches remind me of fond childhood memories when I ate them every single day. Even better with some chocolate to go with them. You have all of those wonderful flavors melded into one layered cake. This cake is simple to make, too, because I used wafers (I used vanilla) soaked in milk instead of making a graham cracker crust.
Irresistibly Easy Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Whipped Chocolate Frosting (Recipe)
The middle daughter had a birthday this past week, and I whipped (haha!) these easy peanut butter cupcakes with whipped chocolate frosting for her. These cupcakes are “reversed” from the traditional chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting. It’s a simple, yet delicious recipe. The best part is that neither the frosting, the ganache center, nor the cupcake itself is overly sweet. Although I appreciate a shot of sugar, I can’t handle cupcakes that lay on the sweet too much.
