5 Minute Lemon Pie

by Leave a Comment

You wouldn’t believe me unless I showed you, so I’ve got the summer’s easiest dessert recipe ever. I’ve never created anything in the kitchen that was this simple. 5 Minute Lemon Pie is bright in flavor and the kind of dessert you can throw together in a hurry if you’re expecting company. And you only need three ingredients!

Make sure you refrigerate the pie for at least an hour before serving so it can set up. Garnish with whipped cream, berries of your choice, and lemon slices. You could also try different flavor combinations instead of lemon such as key lime and berries.

The only thing sweeter about this pie is that it only takes 5 minutes to make.

Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Turnovers

by Leave a Comment

I have a major sweet tooth, which doesn’t work out too well when I live with someone who doesn’t eat desserts. Ah, the humanity! Like, who doesn’t eat desserts?

So, every now and again I actually try my hand at “baking.” I don’t consider myself a baker because sometimes things just don’t turn out right and sometimes my recipes are semi-homemade. But at least I try, right? You’re going to want to try this easy recipe for flaky, scrumptious Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Turnovers. They can be eaten for breakfast, as a dessert or, when like me, you’ve given in to a craving in the middle of the afternoon.

  • 2 tsp strawberry juice
  • Pastry:

Fold the dough square into a triangle shape around the stuffing. Use your fingers to pinch around two edges of the triangle. Dust with cinnamon (optional) and bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with drizzled frosting. Garnish with lemon zest and sliced strawberries.
