Pear Crisp Cheesecake

Posted on September 21, 2016 by sparecake

This is a pretty amazing cheesecake. The cheesecake part itself is super creamy and light, and then you add the fruit crumble and… perfection! It just shares that one downside of most cheesecakes, that it needs to chill overnight, so … Continue reading →

Blueberry Lemon Sorbet

Posted on September 7, 2016 by sparecake

A few weeks ago I won a giveaway on a different food blog, Katie at the Kitchen Door. I won a variety of Stonewall Kitchen items, including their Wild Maine Blueberry Jam. I don’t do a lot of pb&j or … Continue reading →

Spaghetti Squash Cheesecake

Posted on August 31, 2016 by sparecake

This week’s second healthified dessert uses spaghetti squash, but you wouldn’t know it from the texture, or the taste. This winds up very sweet, thanks to a box of cheesecake pudding mix, and stays in good shape for many days … Continue reading →

‘Healthy’ Cookie Dough Dip

Posted on August 29, 2016 by sparecake

This week I’ve got two lower calorie versions of regular desserts. While they’re not 100% as amazing as the original (seriously, what compares to cheesecake?), they’re both still totally tasty, and will get you through a craving without all the … Continue reading →

Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Posted on August 17, 2016 by sparecake

I admit this pie may look slightly underwhelming, how it doesn’t explode out of the crust or anything, but after I took my first bite this weekend I started messaging people “I AM GOOD AT PIE”, which should give you … Continue reading →

Butterscotch Pudding Pie

Posted on August 10, 2016 by sparecake

There are a couple steps to this pie, but none of them take very long (with the possible exception of waiting for everything to cool before you eat it), and it’s totally worth it. The crust, even when baked, tastes … Continue reading →

Browned Butter, White Chocolate Cookies

Posted on August 3, 2016 by sparecake

These are thick, crunchy cookies with a flavor I enjoyed. I don’t think they shouted BROWN BUTTER, but it’s definitely in there, and I thought it went well with the white chocolate. Once you’ve got the butter browned, everything else … Continue reading →

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Posted on July 13, 2016 by sparecake

Realistically, this is a most-things-less cake, as it only has 3 (or 4) ingredients! It is, as you’ll guess from the ingredient list, super rich – one of my coworkers said it was like injecting cacao directly into your veins … Continue reading →

‘Greek’ Hummus

Posted on July 6, 2016 by sparecake

This is so simple it hardly counts as a recipe, but I really like it! It’s both quite spinach-y and hummus-y, and I think would be good as a veggie dip. I threw it in a wrap with some more … Continue reading →

Tim Tam Slam Ice Cream

Posted on June 20, 2016 by sparecake

A few months ago, I heard about the existence of a bike ride called the Tam Slam. For obvious reasons, this got me thinking of Tim Tam Slams. If you’re not familiar, a Tim Tam Slam is when you take … Continue reading →
