Raspberry Jam Swiss Meringue Frosting
You know that frosting at bakeries that keeps its shape so well? This is that frosting. Classic swiss meringue frosting is surprisingly easy to make and only calls for a few ingredients. It's more time-consuming than buttercream frosting, but it also looks better on cupcakes, cookies, and cakes.
Low-Fluoride Lemon Meringue Pie Bars
I developed this recipe when I was just craving a lemon meringue pie, but I didn't feel like going through the hassle of rolling out the crust, etc. Instead, I made a simple shortbread crust, topped it with a lemon curd that firms up in the oven, and topped it with basic meringue.
Gluten-Free Caramel Peach Pie
Peach pie reminds me of summer. It's full of fresh, juicy peaches, rich and decadent caramel sauce, and flaky, buttery pie crust. Peach pie can be made in a lot of different ways. Some are made with peach slices, oatmeal crumble, or even canned peaches. This peach pie is made by halving the peaches and placing them with the skin side up. This makes the peach pie extra beautiful.

3 Ingredient Strawberry Syrup
Strawberry syrup is such a versatile sauce. It's great for waffles, ice cream, french toast, strawberry milk, or shaved ice. I use my strawberry syrup to top cups of shaved ice for the ultimate summer treat. I developed this recipe over Memorial Day Weekend when it was like 95 degrees outside so it would be perfect for the 4th of July!
PB Chocolate Covered Ice Cream Cones
I don't know about you, but I usually like the ice cream cone more than the ice cream! I think it's something about the satisfying crunch. Anyways, these ice cream cones have a delicious twist: peanut butter + chocolate. Is there anything better?
Any of these treats would be a huge hit at a party! Plus, all the gluten-free people will thank you for bringing something they can eat, too.
