A couple years ago my family and I went on a Mexican cruise. I think that most people would agree that the food/desserts are always a main attraction on any cruise. And my family and I were no different. We loved trying the different gourmet dishes and desserts. But one particular night after dinner I ended up with a Kids Dessert Menu by accident and that was the tastiest accident that ever happened.  I ordered a Frozen Cookie Sandwich and it was magical. I am not sure why I loved it so much or why I was passing up Creme Bruele and Raspberry Cheesecake for Cookie Sandwhiches, but I was. I ordered a Frozen Cookie Sandwich every night after that.

Today I am going to share how I turned my favorite “cruise” dessert into an everyday family dessert.  The star of these frozen sandwiches is the COOL WHIP whipped topping, it  makes the cookies more magical. These sandwhiches are easy to make (we made them together as a family) and particularly special for me because they remind me of our family cruise.

COOL WHIP Frozen Cookie Sandwiches

To make your family some COOL WHIP Frozen Cookie Sandwhiches you will need:

  • Your favorite chocolate chip cookies (24 Cookies)
  • 1 Container of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mini Ice Cream Scoop

To make cookies turn one cookie facedown and put a big scoop of COOL WHIP on top. Then top the sandwich off with another cookie. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and place them in freezer for 30 mins or until COOL WHIP is mostly frozen, and delicious!

Alternative Ideas >>>> We made these as a family last night and Husband served his frozen cookie sandwich up with some chocolate syrup and homemade ice cream. I think next time I might try these with snickerdoodles or chocolate cookies. Don’t chocolate chocolate chip cookies and whipped topping sound like a perfect pair?

Pineapple Flowers :: Guest Post

April 23, 2012 by 1 Comment

One of my favorite parts about living in Hawaii is the fresh Pineapple. Seriously, SO good! So when Jesseca showed me these Pineapple Flowers I loved the idea! I can’t wait to try these! They are super cute and look adorable on cupcakes! Jesseca has the perfect cupcake recipe for them too, right over on her blog! [Which I recently helped her re-design!]
So Jesseca, take it from here! ….
Hello again all of you Key Lime readers!! I’m glad to be back her with yet another amazing guest post! In case you don’t know me, I’m Jesseca, and you can find me over at One Sweet Appetite! (designed by Kendra, in case you didn’t know!)

Today I want to show you a super cute way to create some pineapple flowers. You can use these flowers for a number of things. Food displays, cake decorations, or in my case… cupcake decor! Some of you may have seen this cute topper on one of the Utah morning shows delicately placed on top of my super delicious pineapple cupcakes! (For that recipe, head over to One Sweet Appetite)

I have to give you a small warning before we begin… Not only is this a very time consuming project, it is also not as easy as explained in the numerous tutorials I read online. One of the more famous being the one here at Annie’s Eats. If you feel you are up for the challenge, then let’s get started!

You will need:
one pineapple
a sharp knife
parchment paper, or a silicone mat
cupcake tin

Oreo Bunny Truffles

April 3, 2012 by 30 Comments
Hey guys! I’m Jesseca, and you can find me over at One Sweet Appetite! It’s great to be back here at Key Lime! I always have a blast when Kendra let’s me take over her site!! Today I want to share a fun and easy Easter treat. I know that Easter is right around the corner, and if you procrastinate like I do, these will help save the day!
Aren’t they cute??
Here is what you will need to get started on these fun little creatures!
That’s right. Oreo’s & cream cheese. These 2  ingredients will form the bunny base.
Start by pulling the cookies out of the sleeves, and toss them into a blender. A food processor would have worked better (hint hint hubby), but the blender does the trick. Blend them up until they are nice fine. Almost like a powder.
