Life has been a little crazy lately! The kids have been sick, we’ve had family in town, and we just found out we’re moving to Washington D.C. next month!! With so much going on, I haven’t had much time to bake… or do much of anything for that matter. These no-bake Nutella brownie cheesecakes were my last minute attempt at making dessert for our family, and you know what? We loved them!

Here’s how we made them:
I grabbed some leftover brownies (crushed Oreos would work too), diced them up and gently pressed them into the bottom of 6 glass jars. P.S. I love my tulip Weck jars for individual treats, they’re about 8 ounces each (which is the perfect size – and they come with lids)! Then I broke out my hand mixer and whipped up the 5-ingredient filling.
We had homemade Nutella leftover, so I used up the rest of that. You know, in case you’re wondering why the filling looks a bit speckled. If you prefer dessert on the sweeter side, you may want to add a tablespoon or two of powdered sugar, but I really loved it just the way it was. It’s hard for me to admit, but my sweet tooth isn’t so sweet anymore!

Using a ziplock bag or a decorating bag, pipe the filling into each jar. For a firm texture, transfer the jars to the refrigerator for an hour before serving. This is what I did, but you can also serve them right away if you prefer a lighter, mousse-like texture. Placed halved strawberries on top of the filling, then add a generous amount of whipped cream on top.

TRUFFLED MUSHROOM PIZZA WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Homemade truffled mushroom pizza that you can throw on the grill in the summertime or prepare in the oven during the winter months! So easy to make and taste like something you’d get at a fancy pizza parlor! Fancy truffled mushroom pizza.. at home. There are only a few things that make me as happy as movie night and homemade pizza on Friday evenings. If you asked me about an ideal Friday night in my mid-twenties, I guarantee that wouldn’t be my answer back then. But now. As I slowly creep up further and further in my thirties, I’ll gladly be in bed before midnight, stay in on the weekends and prefer it, and not only will I not complain about Brussel sprouts, I favor eating them. With all these new preferences, I also have started to like homemade pizza over your no-frills takeout pizza joints. There’s just something about being able to control the toppings, amount of sauce (or skipping it all together), and having the freedom to throw a big arugula salad on top of my truffled mushroom ...
