It’s a super easy recipe that comes together in just a few minutes. It’s naturally gluten free and is the perfect treat for gifting or just sharing with the family!

Butterscotch Fudge

WHAT IS BUTTERSCOTCH FUDGE?

Butterscotch Fudge is an easy to make soft and melty candy. It is very sweet and has a creamy texture. It’s incredibly delicious!

There are generally two types of homemade fudge – sweetened condensed milk or cooking the sugar, cream, and butter. I prefer the sweetened condensed milk because it makes making fudge fool-proof and super easy. In this recipe we combined deliciously creamy butterscotch fudge with a sprinkle of salt. It’s smooth and creamy. You’ll love it!

Fudge is huge a hit on dessert tables, grazing boards, and at holiday parties. Since it keeps well at room temperature, it can sit out for a few hours on a platter.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Butterscotch Fudge:

  • If you don’t have a microwave or prefer not to use it, this recipe also works using the double-boiler method for melting chocolate.
  • Important Note: This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, not heavy cream, not half and half, nothing else will work. Trust me on this.
  • Feel free to omit the salt if needed. Plain unsalted butterscotch fudge is also delicious.
  • Make sure to use parchment paper to line your pan — it makes getting it back out of dish so much easier when you’re ready to serve it. Tin foil or plastic wrap wrap will also work if needed.
  • Add nuts to this fudge. Pecans and walnuts are both delicious in butterscotch fudge.
  • This easy butterscotch fudge is best stored in a cool, dry place. You can store it at room temperature or in the fridge. At room temperature, fudge can last for 1 to 2 weeks. It’s important to store it in an airtight container, with parchment paper or wax paper between layers, and out of the heat or sun. In the fridge homemade fudge will last a little longer, up to 3 weeks.
  • To Freeze the fudge. Wrap it tightly in parchment (cut or uncut) and then slide it into a freezer bag. Press the air out of the bag and freeze flat.

This Deliciously Decadent No Bake Apple Cheesecake is the best of two desserts in one! Apple Pie + Cheesecake = 1 Heavenly Dessert! It’s really quick and easy to pull together and is the perfect dessert to impress friends, family and holiday guests. Apple Pie Cheesecake is the go to dessert for any occasion! 

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

FAQ’s About Making No Bake Apple Cheesecake:

  • Is this no bake apple cheesecake gluten free? It is gluten free, though nobody would know just by tasting it – trust me!
  • Can I use homemade whipped cream? Yes, you can. But, honestly, Cool Whip holds up better because it has a stabilizing agent in it. Whipped cream is less stable, so your cheesecake may be slightly runnier.
  • How long will cheesecake keep in the fridge? Leftovers will last 3 – 4 days. After that it may become runny. Make sure to store covered in an air tight container.
  • Can I use a pre made crust for this recipe? Yes, you can although pre made gluten free pie crusts are harder to find. If you’re not on a gluten free diet, you can make this recipe with a store bought graham cracker crust, if preferred.
  • Where can I find gluten free animal cookies? I used 1 box of gluten free great value animal cookies from Walmart.
  • How long will this cheesecake stay fresh? This delicious no bake dessert can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to five days!
  • Can I use a larger pan? – I used an 8×8-inch baking pan to make the cheesecake. You can certainly use a 9- or even 10-inch square baking dish, noting that your cheesecake bars won’t be quite as thick. You may want to use more cookie crumbs as well.
  • What kind of Apple should I use to make apple cheesecake? – I use gala apples but some other apples that work great are: Granny Smith Apples, Braeburn Apples, Pink Lady Apples, Honey-crisp Apples and Golden Delicious Apples.
  • Can I Use a springform pan instead of using a square pan? – Yes, A 9-inch springform pan can be used instead of the square cake, if preferred. Pour the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and press onto bottom of pan.

No Bake Apple Cheesecake

How Do You Make No Bake Apple Cheesecake?

Here’s how to make this deliciously easy dessert: (See recipe card below for full recipe)

Step 1: Peel, core, and chop the apples. Melt butter over medium heat. Stir in apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and cook stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until very slightly softened. In a small dish combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Add to the pan while stirring and continue to cook until apples are soft (not mushy) and filling is thickened. Let bubble 1 minute. Then cool.

Step 2: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside. To make the crust, use a food processor to grind the animal crackers into crumbs. In a mixing bowl, mix the crumbs with the melted butter and the brown sugar. Once the crumb mixture is well combined, press it into the prepared pan using the bottom of a cup. Continue pressing until the entire crust is firm. Place the prepared crust into the freezer while you make the filling.

Step 3: Make the cheesecake filling. Using a mixer and a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth. Next gently fold in the whipped topping. A rubber spatula works perfectly for this! Be careful not to knock the air out of the whipped cream. 

Step 4: Spread the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Then spread the cooled apple pie filling on top. Cover and refrigerate for  3-4 hours or until set. For best results make the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best No Bake Apple Cheesecake:

  • Real whipped cream can be used in place of the whipped topping. Whipped cream is less stable than whipped topping, so your pie may be slightly runnier.
  • Use a different kind of cookie crumb crust, such as one made from gluten free graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or even gingersnaps taste good with lemons or limes.
  • Use store bought apple pie filling if preferred.
  • This cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Place the cheesecake in an airtight container before storing.
  • Use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese. Otherwise the cheesecake bars won’t set.
  • Pack the crust tightly into the pan. I like to use a flat bottomed glass or measuring cup to help press down the crumbs.
  • A 9-inch springform pan can be used instead of the square cake, if preferred. Pour the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan  press onto bottom of pan.

RECIPE NOTES FOR MAKING THE BEST OLD FASHIONED CHERRY DELIGHT:

  • You can use whipped cream instead of the cool whip if preferred. Although, whipped cream is not as stabilized as Cool Whip. So if you make a dessert to take along to a hot summer barbecue picnic, it might be better to use Cool Whip since whipped cream can get runny when it gets too warm.
  • Any pie filling will work for the topping, but cherry is definitely my favourite.
  • This cherry dessert can be made in advance. Tightly cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • I used 2 packages of great value gluten free double chocolate cookies.
  • 2 packages of (gluten free) cookies does make a thick crust. You can make this recipe with only one package of cookies but you’ll need to half the melted butter as well. I find it helps to put either parchment paper or tin foil under the cookie crust to help lift the pieces out when the crust is more thin.
  • Any type of crumbly cookie will work for this recipe. Graham cracker, ginger snaps or vanilla cookies, all make a great crust. Just be sure to use gluten free cookies that snap or make a nice crumb when crumbled. Gluten free pretzels also work well as a base for this dessert.
  • If you don’t have a food processor you can use a ziplock bag and crush the cookies with a rolling pin to make crumbs instead.  
  • Use a 9 x13 lasagna pan to make this cherry delight recipe.

Recipe Notes for Making the Best Salted Caramel Turtle Bark

  • The easiest way to melt chocolate and caramel is in the microwave. Using 2 microwave-safe bowls, warm the chocolate and caramel at 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Microwaving for approximately 2 minutes total.
  • No microwave? Use a double boiler. Place the chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. Cook until the chocolate is almost entirely melted, stirring frequently. Repeat the same steps to melt the soft caramel squares.
  • Chocolate bark stays most stable chilled, so I suggest keeping in the refrigerator or freezer. Store it in an airtight container at refrigerated for up to 3 weeks or frozen for 3 months.
  • The pecans don’t have to be roasted but I recommend roasting them.
  • Make sure and line your baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Not only will this make cleaning up easier, but it’s easier to remove the chocolate after it hardens.
  • Any type of salt can be used for this recipe. I use flaky sea salt but regular table or Himalayan salt also work well. You can also skip adding salt altogether if you prefer.
  • When melting the caramels, you can 1 Tbsp of water instead of using the heavy cream if preferred.

Recipe Notes for making the best Pineapple Fluff

While this is a super easy dessert to make. I’ve got some suggestions to make it even easier, or some fun ideas to change it up a little bit!

  • Can I use homemade whipped cream? Yes, you can. But, honestly, I’ve heard that Cool Whip holds up better in dessert recipes like these. It has a stabilizing agent in it. So, I’d stay with store bought tubs of whipped cream.
  • Can you use fresh pineapple in pineapple fluff? Absolutely! Just use a food proccesor to puree the pineapple before adding it.
  • How long will pineapple fluff keep in the fridge? Leftovers will last 3 – 4 days. After that it may become runny. Make sure to store covered in an air tight container.
  • Be sure to use the entire can of pineapples including the juice for best results.
  • Some people like to add nuts and/or mini marshmallows to their pineapple fluff. If you’d like, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans and 2 cups of mini marshmallows.

White Chocolate Cherry Fudge

What is White Chocolate Cherry Fudge?

White Chocolate Cherry Fudge is an easy to Make Gluten Free Christmas Treat. There are generally two types of homemade fudge – sweetened condensed milk or cooking the sugar, cream, and butter. I prefer the sweetened condensed milk because it makes making fudge fool-proof and super easy. In this recipe we combined deliciously creamy white chocolate fudge with juicy cherries and yummy chocolate sprinkles. It’s smooth, creamy, and loaded with bits of maraschino cherries. You’ll love it!

Fudge is huge a hit on dessert tables, grazing boards, and at holiday parties. Since it keeps well at room temperature, it can sit out for a few hours on a platter.

Recipe Tips for making the Best White Chocolate Cherry Fudge

  • If you don’t have a microwave or prefer not to use it, this recipe also works using the double-boiler method for melting chocolate.
  • Important Note: This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, not heavy cream, not half and half, nothing else will work. Trust me on this.
  • Make sure to use parchment paper to line your pan — it makes getting it back out of dish so much easier when you’re ready to serve it.
  • Store: This easy white chocolate fudge is best stored in a cool, dry place. You can store it at room temperature or in the fridge. At room temperature, fudge can last for 1 to 2 weeks. It’s important to store it in an airtight container, with parchment paper or wax paper between layers, and out of the heat or sun. In the fridge homemade fudge will last a little longer, up to 3 weeks.
  • To Freeze the fudge. Wrap it tightly in parchment (cut or uncut) and then slide it into a freezer bag. Press the air out of the bag and freeze flat.
  • 3 Cups of white Chocolate chips is = to approximately 2 1/2 regular sized (225 g) packages (so buy 3 bags of white chocolate chips)

What Ingredients do you need to make Smashed Sweet Potatoes?

To make these deliciously crispy smashed sweet potatoes you’ll need:

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Butter
  • Garlic

Smashed Sweet potatoes

How do you make Smashed Sweet Potatoes?

To make these Gluten Free Garlic Butter Smashed Sweet Potatoes:

Step 1: Wash then cut the sweet potatoes into ¾-inch thick, round slices. Try to get the slices as uniform as possible so that they’ll cook in the same amount of time. Steam or boil the potatoes for 20 – 25 minutes.

Step 2: Preheat oven to broil and grease a large baking sheet with the olive oil. Arrange sweet potatoes onto the sheet and gently smash each potato with a fork (they will be soft, so try not to press too hard).

Step 3: Mix together the melted butter, garlic and parsley. Drizzle the mixture over each sweet potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Broil until they are golden and crispy (about 10 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and return to the oven for another 5 – 7 minutes. Season with a little salt and parsley.

Recipe Notes for making the best Smashed Sweet Potatoes:

  • Sweet potatoes: look for long, medium size sweet potatoes, not large fat ones if possible. It will make them easier to smash.
  • I don’t peel the potatoes because the skin makes them extra crispy.
  • Using parchment paper is my default, but I don’t recommend that you use it here. Baking the potatoes directly on the oiled sheet pan helps them become extra crispy underneath.
  • Olive oil + butter: I much prefer the extra flavour and crispiness that melted butter adds. That said, butter will smoke much more at high heat, so I recommend brushing the pan with olive oil first (or misting it with cooking spray) and then using butter to brush or drizzle onto the smashed potatoes themselves.
  • Feel free to add whatever seasonings you love best, either before or after baking.
  • Make them vegan: Just use vegan butter or olive oil in place of the butter and skip the Parm.
  • Store in the fridge: After they’ve cooled, store the smashed sweet potatoes in an airtight container in your fridge. They last up to 4 days!
  • To reheat: Preheat your oven to 350 F. Then, place them on a cookie sheet and bake them for 15-20 minutes.
