The Perfect Cheesecake: 5 Tips and Tricks. Triple Chocolate Chip Brownies Recipes from The Kitchn. No-Bake Recipe: Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Pie Recipes from The Kitchn. One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Recipe. Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. When my mom got me a recipe box a few Christmases ago, I immediately went scrounging through all of her recipes to find some to add to my own collection.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

She has many recipes saved from years past that she has never made, and this is one of them. I decided to take on the difficult task of making this pie, because it must be just terrible to eat chocolate chip cookies in pie form, right?

No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream Torte.

No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream Torte

The avocado is masked by the chocolate and creates a cream-like texture, richness, and body as a great base for all that chocolate goodness. I’ve had a few requests to make an avocado-free version due to allergies. For this version, I ended up making a no-bake almond-oat-date-coconut oil crust (instead of this raw chocolate crust) and I used a can of coconut milk and medjool dates as main ingredients in the chocolate cream part. The can of full fat coconut milk replaces the creamy avocado and the medjool dates replace the maple syrup. I replaced the maple syrup because I thought medjool dates would add thickness to the mixture since the coconut milk isn’t as thick as pureed avocado. Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe.

In its sugary modern incarnation, however, and crowned with creamy icing, the healthiest thing about carrot cake is the name.
