creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 2 cups at a time, beating well
after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the milk and
vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. If desired, add

Pecan Pie Brownies
Ingredients
1 box Brownie mix must have instructions for making in 13x9 pan + ingredients listed
on the package
Pecan Pie Filling:
1 cup Sugar
1 1/2 cups Light Corn syrup
4 Eggs
1/4 cup Unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

instructions.

your spoon (about 15 minutes). Stir the pecans into the mixture and continue to cook
for 2-3 minutes until the mixture reaches the consistency of runny oatmeal. You want it

pecan pie filling over them spreading it out to cover the brownies completely.
Place them back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling only jiggles
slightly in the middle when you move the pan.

3/4 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
2 egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp hot water
3 tbsp orange JELLO powder
Additional:
8 oz Cool Whip for icing

Orange gel icing color (optional)
Directions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a springform pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder for the cake
layer.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk
until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
In a small bowl, dissolve the orange JELLO powder in hot water and fold it into the

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until
a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely, then remove the dome from the top using a knife.
Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
Dissolve the remaining orange JELLO powder in hot water and spread it evenly over
the cake. Allow the JELLO to set.
For the ice cream layers, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until

sugar over it. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter.

Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler
2 1/2 C Fresh blackberries, washed
1 C Sugar
1 C Flour
2 t Baking powder
1/2 t Salt
1 C Milk
1 Stick of unsalted butter, melted
First you should take care of the blackberry and sugar mixture because it needs to sit
for a while. Stir together just the berries and sugar in a large bowl and let it sit out for
25-30 minutes. This will coax out the juices of the blackberries so that they can be
sweetened up by the sugar, and we can taste the full spectrum of the fruit–this process
is called macerating.
After about 20 minutes, you should turn on the oven to about 375º and start preparing
your batter.
Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk with a wooden spoon. Next, stir in
the melted butter and hand-mix it until the ingredients are well incorporated and you
have few clumps.
Pick out a clean baking dish– a smaller one will do– pour in the batter and smooth it
out. You can choose to line it with parchment paper or not, but don’t grease the pan
(there is enough butter in there already!). Finally, pour the macerated blackberries on
top with all the sugar included and evenly distribute it over the batter.
Bake this promising pan of happiness in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour,
depending on how golden you prefer it to be. Let it set up for a good 15 minutes so it
will hold its shape. It will be bubbling like crazy and quite hot, so be careful!

Lemon Meringue Pie Cannolis - The perfect blend of tangy and sweet
for your summer festivities!
Ingredients:
2 (9-inch) round pie dough circles
1 egg (for the egg wash)
1 teaspoon water (for the egg wash)
¾ cup lemon curd
½ cup marshmallow fluff
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional, for enhanced flavor)
1 teaspoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions:
Prep the Dough:
Set your oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare your cannoli forms by spraying
them with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut the Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, unroll one pie crust. Use a 4 ½-inch cookie
cutter to cut out circles; you should get about four from each crust.
Form the Cannolis:
Whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Wrap each
dough circle around a cannoli form, sealing the edge with the egg
wash to prevent unraveling during baking.
Chill and Bake:
Let the cannolis cool enough to handle, then gently slide the shells off
the forms.
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix the lemon curd and marshmallow fluff. Fold in the
whipped topping and, if desired, stir in the fresh lemon zest for extra
zestiness.
Fill the Cannolis:
Spoon the filling into a pastry bag and refrigerate until you're ready to
serve. Just before serving, pipe the filling generously into each cannoli
shell.
Final Touch:
Dust each cannoli with powdered sugar for a sweet, professional finish.
Serving and Storage:
These cannolis are best enjoyed fresh. Store any unfilled shells in an
airtight container for up to two days. Keep the filling chilled and only
fill the shells just before serving to maintain the perfect crunch.
