A tangy cream cheese base and cherry pie filling make an easy and delicious dessert in this cherry cheesecake dip. Serve it with graham crackers, cookies, fruit, or pound cake for a treat that will disappear in no time.

I’ve said it time and time again: dessert dips are one of my very favorite things.

In fact, I don’t think there’s enough appreciation for them. I’ve unofficially made it my mission to make sure everyone I know appreciates just how good and how versatile they are.

Most of my dessert dip recipes, such as cream cheese caramel apple dip or nutella fruit dip, take only a few minutes to mix together. So they’re one of the quickest and easiest treats you can make.

Plus, they are great for making ahead of time. Whip them up a few hours or even a day before your party, holiday dinner, or kid’s play date and you’re ready to go once it’s time to eat.

Since I love these sweet dips and I also love cheesecake, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I was eventually going to come up with a cheesecake dip recipe.

This cherry cheesecake dip is everything you love about cherry cheesecake in a quick, no-bake, dippable version!

Your favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies just got easier! These chocolate chip cookie bars have the chewy texture you love in an easy-to-portion bar form.

Cookie bars are a lazy baker’s dream come true. You can whip up an easy cookie dough, spread it into a pan, and bake everything all at once.

It’s the best way to get a bunch of cookies in the shortest amount of time.

Plus, you can cut the bars into large pieces for a big, indulgent dessert or slice them into smaller squares if you’re feeding a crowd or taking them to a cookie exchange.

Whether you’re making my sugar cookie bars, monster cookie bars, pecan bars, or these chocolate chip cookie bars – you really can’t go wrong.

You know what I love? Appetizer recipes that can pull double duty.

I’m talking about dips and small bites that you can put out for a casual movie night or game-day party or dress up for a formal holiday gathering. 

Apple butter brie bites and spinach artichoke bites are two of my favorites for this, as is cranberry cream cheese dip.

And this marinated cheese? Definitely belongs on that list. It’s easy to throw together for a casual get-together but is pretty enough to serve at your fanciest dinner party.

And the best part? It’s so delicious that everyone will be asking you for the recipe.

Sweet dips are one of my favorite party desserts. Whether it’s a cookout, movie night, game night, or book club, I’m yet to see a group that can say no to a bowl of fruit dip and a spread of fun dippers.

This peanut butter fruit dip is my latest sweet dip and it might be one of my favorites. It’s got the rich flavor of peanut butter with a light, creamy texture that pairs great with everything from fruit to pretzels and cookies.

And a bonus? It’s super fast and easy to make, so you can prep it ahead of time and grab it on your way out the door.

Refreshing, fruity, and the perfect balance of tart and sweet, this blueberry lemonade is sure to become a summertime favorite.

Two glasses of blueberry lemonade on a countertop with lemon wedges and fresh blueberries.

Even as someone who cooks and bakes from scratch on a regular basis, I fall back way too often on coffee shop drinks or bottled lemonades from the store.

And then I remember that I can make my own iced shaken espresso or homemade strawberry lemonade or chai concentrate and it becomes a hyperfixation for a while. 

Last summer I was all about my watermelon lemonade and this year I’m all about this blueberry lemonade. It’s got a great blueberry flavor and is just the right amount of tart and sweet.

There’s nothing better than a cold glass of this lemonade while hanging out next to the pool!

This no-bake Oreo pie is an easy recipe that will put a smile on everyone’s face! An Oreo cookie crust is paired with a cookies-and-cream filling for a cool, creamy, decadent pie.

If you grew up thinking that classic pecan pie and fruit pies were your only pie options, think again.

Don’t get me wrong; I love a slice of homemade cherry pie or apple crumb pie, but during the summer I really love cool and creamy pies.

I’m talking about pie recipes like no-bake s’mores pie or rich peanut butter pie. These pies require very little to no baking and are served chilled, so they are both a satisfying sweet treat and cool you down on a hot summer day.

This Oreo pie is my new favorite no-bake pie. It’s a dream for anyone who loves cookies and cream ice cream and wants those same flavors in pie form!

Made with homemade cherry pie filling and a simple batter, this easy cherry cobbler comes together in just a few minutes for a summery dessert that is perfect when topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cobblers are a summertime favorite for a reason. They’re easy, delicious, and there are so many different ways you can make them!

From biscuit-topped stone fruit cobbler and pie-crust-topped mixed berry cobbler to easy peach cobbler or easy blackberry cobbler and even savory tomato cobbler, I love them all. 

This easy cherry cobbler is a take on my homemade peach cobbler. It’s quick to make and can be made any time of year thanks to using cherry pie filling.
