Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

No Bake Cheesecake

Everybody loves these! There's no baking involved and they are inexpensive to make especially when you find the ingredients on sale. 

Cherry is always the most popular. I've tried making other flavours and people just don't like them as much.

No Bake Cheesecake
Makes 2 cheesecakes

Ingredients
  • 2 graham pie crusts (I use store-bought)
  • 2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 2 packets lemon Jello
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (optional but yummy!)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can pie filling
Directions
  1. Beat the cream cheese, Jello and lemon zest on medium speed until lumps disappear.
  2. Add whipping cream and start on low. Once combined with cheese, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until it's stiff and fluffy.
  3. Pour the mixture into prepared graham shells and top with pie filling. Chill for several hours until firm. You will be able to slice it once it sets.
Tips:
  • You could use any flavour of Jello and pie filling to come up with your own combination.
