OK, Ashley and I have noticed a trend in our post write-ups: easy and delicious. Although we do love a challenge when we have some extra time (and I swear it’s not due to an uncreative or unimaginative vocabulary!), easy and delicious just seem to be our style. So here’s another amazingly easy and delicious recipe that we highly recommend. Seriously, even if you’re not a big coconut or lime fan, you could really enjoy these treats. And by the way, we tried a few other disappointing coconut and lime recipes (love you Martha, but this pie was deceptively beautiful) before striking gold with this one. So when we say delicious, we MEAN delicious! Promise.

Just like red velvet cake, the chocolate flavor is a bit milder, but the consistency is fudgy and moist, which I love. Also, in my experience these are much better the next day, which requires patience I simply don’t have. If you’re a fan of cheesecake brownies, and you don’t like sickly sweet desserts, you’ll absolutely love these! And they’re quite pretty, if I do say so myself. (more…)
strawberry swirl cheesecake bars
You know, I like cheesecake, I really do. I just never realize how much I like it until I’m eating it. Therefore I never, ever make it. Just doesn’t seem worth the effort (or the fat, to be blunt). But these cheesecake bars looked too easy to pass up. I felt they included all the good things a traditional cheesecake has to offer, rich and creamy with a buttery graham crust, but none of the hassle or intimidation. (more…)
