Peach Slab Pie with Candied Pecan No-Churn Ice Cream



Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet, juicy peaches in a flaky pie crust with crunchy candied pecans on top. This pie is served with rich, creamy no-churn ice cream. This dessert is a great choice for any occasion because it has a great mix of comforting flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375F 190C

In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice

In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt

Add the sugar mixture to the peaches and toss to coat

Roll out the pie crust onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges

Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, pleating as needed

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling

While the pie is baking, make the candied pecans

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter

Add the chopped pecans and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently

Add the brown sugar and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sugar is melted and the pecans are coated

Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream

Let cool

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form

Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until well combined

Once the pie is cooled, slice it into squares and serve with a scoop of the candied pecan no-churn ice cream

Enjoy!

Deluxe S'mores Cupcakes



These Deluxe S'mores Cupcakes combine the flavors of classic s'mores with moist chocolate cupcakes. A graham cracker base, toasted marshmallow topping, and a drizzle of melted chocolate make them an irresistible treat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 12 marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake pan

Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl

Add the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the items that are already dry

Mix the batter well and until it is smooth

Melt the butter in a different bowl and mix the graham cracker crumbs in it until the crumbs are covered

Put a tablespoon of the graham cracker mix into each cupcake liner to make the base of the cupcake

Cover the graham cracker base with the chocolate cupcake batter

Fill up each liner about two-thirds of the way to the top

In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Put a marshmallow in the middle of each cupcake while they are still warm, and then put them back in the oven for another two to three minutes, or until the marshmallows are just barely toasty

After taking the cupcakes out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes

Then, move them to a wire rack to finish cooling

You can use a double boiler or the microwave to melt the semisweet chocolate chips

Last but not least, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cupcakes

I hope you enjoy your Deluxe S'mores Cupcakes!
