Mini Pumpkin Pie Trifles
Mini Pumpkin Pie Trifles are a decadent and creamy twist on a classic treat. Do you receive the Overtime Cook newsletter? Full of recipes, kitchen tips and deals and more! Click here to signup. Here's a little secret. I've never had pumpkin pie. Crazy, right? Well. What can I tell you? Growing up, pies were usually fruit based. We'd have apple pie, cherry pie, and others. Occasionally, we'd have pecan pie. But somehow, I never had a slice of pumpkin pie. And because, as an adult, I enjoy creating twists on traditional favorites, I didn't bother with pumpkin pie. Instead, I made Pumpkin Pie Trifle. Are you ready for the next shocker? Here goes: I don't love heavily flavored … [Read more...]

Strawberry Chocolate Hand Pies
Strawberry Chocolate Hand Pies are a beautiful summer dessert that's not hard to make and guaranteed to impress! Are you afraid of making pie crust? I know I was. For years. A perfectly made pie crust is a real thing of beauty. But a badly made pie crust? Ugh. Just ugh. For ages, I was afraid to even try making my own pie crust. "Why should I make one," I reasoned, "when there are perfectly good pie crusts available in the freezer section of the grocery store?" Well let me tell you friends - perfectly good is nice and all, but homemade pie crust? It's perfection. And here's the best part. Once you make a pie crust once or twice, you'll be an old pro at it and you'll feel totally … [Read more...]
S’mores Pie
Gooey Chocolate in a graham cracker crust topped with marshmallow frosting - S'mores Pie is the ultimate in easy desserts! A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to make a special treat for a special occasion. But I was tired. So I had this whole internal debate - should I make a fancy dessert, or should I skip the special occasion and go to sleep. Back and forth, back and forth. I was just too tired to do anything fancy. And before you ask, no, a simple dessert just wouldn't cut it. Then finally, I came up with the (obvious) solution. Make a dessert that looks fancy, but is actually pretty simple to make. Perfect, right? So I came up with this s'mores pie. Super easy, but I mean, … [Read more...]
Hot Gooey Caramel Pie
Hot Gooey Caramel Pie is as delicious as it sounds, with very little prep time! So it started one night when I was going to take a brownie mix I had in the pantry and bake it into a graham cracker pie crust. But then I couldn't find the brownie mix I thought I had. So plan B was a cheesecake baked in a graham cracker crust. But then plan C formed in my head. What if I baked blondies into a graham cracker crust? Then my 4th and final plan formed. What if I kinda combined plan B and plan C? So I pulled out the mixer and made the first batch of this. I didn't even know what to expect out of this, it was simply a late night whim. I didn't even measure! But then it was awesome. And everyone … [Read more...]
