Sorry I’ve been absent lately!
After moving back to Purdue from my summer job I headed down to Guatemala to help build a soccer field.
Now I have a few days at Purdue before driving around the state to celebrate mine & the bf’s birthdays.
With one of my days I was able to make this grapefruit pie. [Read more...]
Welcome to another Milk Bar Monday! Today I am the host.
I chose the sweet corn cereal milk ice cream pie for a multitude of reasons.
This recipe isn’t is as hard as it seems. Some of our past Milk Bar Mondays have had crazy steps and ingredients, but this one is pretty tame in comparison. The only thing I had to find was freeze-dried corn. I got mine on Amazon but I think you can also find it at Whole Foods and other health food stores.
You start by making the corn cookies, which are surprisingly corny and sweet but not as strange as they seem. They will be a new favorite in this Indiana household.
Then you start your “ice cream” base by making some of the famous cereal milk. I think this is our first recipe that uses it, but it was worth the wait. It’s a sweetened milk full of delicious cereal flavor. For this recipe we made Cap’n Crunch cereal milk but the recipe is pretty much the same for which ever cereal you decided to use.
While your cereal milk is soaking you take the delicious corn cookies and make the pie crust! Yes, we are getting to be all sorts of corny for this recipe.
Once your cereal milk is ready to go you make a corn pudding sort of mixture, let it cool, then fold it with some whipped heavy cream and sour cream. Pour it all into your pie crust and let it freeze for a few hours.
I topped my finished pie with some pureed peaches for an extra kick of summer flavor. But they great thing is summer has so many wonderful fruits to offer that you can’t go wrong with anything you chose. A few that I want to try are strawberries, blueberries, and cherries.
See? Not too crazy for a Milk Bar Monday.
And 2 super bonuses when your pie is done – there are extra cookies & extra cereal milk! I recommend using the cereal milk in your coffee..mmm…
So what are you waiting for, check out the recipe below and celebrate the fourth with a super summery ice cream pie!

Hi friends! Today I have my friend Krissy sharing her raspberry hand pies – enjoy!
Hello BigFatBaker Readers! I’m Krissy over from Krissy’s Creations food blog where I blog about my passion for baking and cooking and share fun, creative, and homemade recipes. I am so honored to be Guest Posting for Erin!
I first met Erin when we started developing our Milk Bar Mondays. But even before that moment I knew about BigFatBaker. I actually visited it frequently and made many of Erin’s recipes. Her recipes are always delicious and a huge hit with my family and friends!
I wanted to bake up something special for you and Erin so I made these Raspberry Hand Pies. They are individual, hand-held, mini pies, filled with fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves.
They are made with my favorite, homemade pie crust recipe. It’s flaky, buttery, and holds together perfectly.
These hand pies are a great alternative to making a full pie. You don’t have to worry about slicing and serving the pie, and people love being able to have their own little hand-held pie.
Thank you SO much Erin for having me today! I hope you all enjoy my Raspberry Hand Pies!
Hello everyone! Today I have Jen from Juanita’s Cocina – enjoy!
Hi! I’m Jen from Juanita’s Cocina! I was so excited when Erin asked if I would do a guest post on her blog while she went on vacation! Since I can’t go with her, I figure this is probably the next best thing…since I get to eat all of the sweets I make for “her”!
Erin is one of the first bloggers I began following when I started blogging 5 months ago. I think she’s an amazing and inspiring baker, but beyond that, she is super sweet. And she just so happens to be the hostess with the mostest of my favorite blog group, The Holiday Recipe Club. How can you not adore someone who uses every holiday as an excuse to make delicious food? You can’t!
I couldn’t make just any ‘ol thing for Erin. It had to be something delicious, different, and drool-worthy.
When I began searching through all of the desserts I’ve been wanting to try, this recipe for Green Chile and Apple Cobbler from The Homesick Texan kept catching my eye. Green chiles in dessert? How could I not try it?
I am so glad I listened to my hungry gut. Because this is one of the most amazing desserts I’ve made in…well, in just about forever. The chiles bring a great smokiness to an otherwise boring apple cobbler. There’s just a *hint* of spice, which compliments the mild sweetness of this cobbler perfectly.
I hope you’re as excited about this dish as I was when I first saw it. Of course, I was downright amazed once I tasted it.
I swore up and down that I’d send some of the extra to Erin, but oops. We polished this off pretty quick. She’s on vacation anyways, so hopefully she’s having a good enough time that she won’t even know… [Read more...]
It’s time for another Milk Bar Monday!
I am really starting to love mondays…aren’t you?
This week’s recipe was chosen by Nicole of Sweet Peony.
In the book Christina talks about how she wishes she could have made it work with the liquid cheesecake.
But I liked the sweet and minty flavor of the filling. It wasn’t overwhelmingly cream cheesy.
The final product is a dense brownie in a graham cracker crust with a layer of creamy mint filling separating the two.
Recipe note: I had to bake my pie an additional 5 minutes. I also refrigerated the pie overnight before slicing into it. [Read more...]
