Strawberry Butter Crust Delight Recipe

I love seeing all the fresh strawberries at the store, and I love coming up with new recipes to use them in.  This Strawberry Butter Crust Delight is unique and it's something I've never seen before.  It starts with a butter crust that reminds me of a pie crust and shortbread combined in one.  The delight is a rich, creamy sweetened sour cream and cream cheese mixture that has fresh sweet strawberries folded in, and to top it all off I took semi-sweet chocolate and drizzled it on top.  This dessert doesn't require fancy ingredients, it comes together quickly, and it tastes amazing!

Chocolate Caramel Halloween Squares

Milk Chocolate & Gooey Caramel Shortbread Squares...

 

One of our favorite combinations is milk chocolate and caramel!  There's something about the creamy milk chocolate and the gooey rich caramel that go together perfectly.  I'm always trying new recipes that incorporate the two of them and these Earthquake Squares do just that.  Since shortbread is another favorite of mine I decided to use that as the base, added the chocolate caramel sauce on top then a little bit of the shortbread as a crumble on top.  They're simple to make and they turned out delicious! 

Fruit & Honey Shortbread Tart #FruitandHoney #WalMart

This post is brought to you by The J.M. Smucker Company, however the opinions expressed are my own.

I love having Sunday brunch!  I make a big meal for us, we sit, we talk, we make memories and it's something I hope the kids will remember forever.  Once we're done I like to refill our tea/coffee and then have something a little sweet to round out the meal.  It has to be something that's easy, delicious, and can be made while I'm making the other food too.

How to Make Easy Strawberry Shortcakes

Flaky shortbread with a dollop of greek yogurt,

topped with sweetened strawberries!

Shortbread is one of our favorites and Strawberry Shortbread Trifle is a favorite dessert of ours.  However, sometimes I don't need to make a big trifle so I like to make these cute little strawberry shortcakes.  I love to top them off with greek yogurt because it's delicious, simple and good for you too!  I then slice up some strawberries and mix them with a little bit of preserves to make them glisten for the perfect topping...simple to make and delicious to eat!

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars Recipe

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars start with a shortbread nut crust, then creamy cheesecake 

is swirled with seasoned apples and drizzled with a delicious caramel sauce!

If you like cheesecake and apple pie then you're going to love these Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars!  This recipe is a combination of the love my son has for cheesecake and the love my husband has for apple pie.  I decided to put the two together and make one scrumptious dessert.  For the crust I made a shortbread and added in some walnuts to add a little more depth to it.  Then you have your traditional cheesecake layer which is topped with apples and a little bit of reserved crust.  I made my favorite easy caramel sauce and drizzled it on top to make the perfect dessert!

Butterscotch Swirl Cheesecake with a Shortbread Crust

 

The other day they had cream cheese on sale so I was sure to pick up quite a few!  You all know that I love cream cheese and I pretty much use it every day!  A family favorite is cheesecake so I decided to whip one up.  This time I wanted to incorporate some butterscotch and make a shortbread crust.  The combination of flavors came together perfectly!  What I love about this recipe is that it only uses one block of cream cheese and other simple ingredients too.  

Brown Sugar (Shortbread) Fruit Pizza

 

Fruit pizzas are usually made with a sugar cookie crust, but I honestly don't care for it. What I do care for is shortbread!  I love the rich buttery taste, how flaky it is and how it melts in your mouth.  My recipe has brown sugar in the shortbread and the cream cheese making this a decadent dessert.  It's very simple to make and you can top it off with whatever fruit you have on hand.  Drizzle a little extra icing on top and you have a quick, easy  and delicious dessert...I hope you enjoy!

The Best of 2012

 

1. Apple Fritter Bread

This time of year I like to count down the top 10 recipes on Flour Me With Love.  The recipe that was viewed the most this year is my Apple Fritter Bread.  If you like apple fritters, but don't like to deep fry, then this bread is the perfect solution.  It has the taste and texture of an apple fritter without all the guilt!  The rest of the recipes are all delicious too.   

I hope you enjoy!

Polvorones de Canele - Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Pin It

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!  I had plans to make a unique dessert to celebrate, however after having four sick kids at home this week, my plans had to change.  I needed to make something that didn't require a lot of time and this recipe definitely doesn't.  These cookies taste like shortbread and snicker doodles rolled into one!  They melt in your mouth and taste delicious.  I look forward to making these a lot more!

Strawberry Shortbread Trifle

 
 

Shortbread is the perfect little treat; it's light, flaky and buttery.  It tastes great by itself, but even better when you layer it with some sweetened cream cheese, frozen whipped topping, jello and fresh strawberries.  Repeat the layers and you have a dessert that's simple to prepare, tastes delicious and looks beautiful.  Perfect to take to all those summer picnics!
