My family doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth. We never keep Halloween candy, we always give away the cake after birthdays, and we definitely do not buy sweets on the reg.

But for some reason during quarantine, we’ve been having much more of a craving for sweets. Probably because all everyone does is eat and sometimes you need to break it up with something different!

So we’ve had a few good new recipes pop up in the last few weeks. So far we’ve made: tres leches cake (it’s a Cuban dessert which is DELISH), lemon meringue pie, and marshmallow chocolate chip cookies.

Today as I was scrolling down our blog for some sweet tooth inspo by Simply Beautiful Eating, I figured I’d do a round up post for anyone else looking for some sweets! See what I’m eyeing below.

VANILLA BEAN FROZEN YOGURT WITH SALTED CARAMEL DRIZZLE

My favorite flavor? Salted caramel, hands down. To me, nothing else compares. Don’t get me wrong I love a good chocolate moment but nothing will ever come close to salted caramel. So combining this drizzle with a vanilla bean frozen yogurt is all I need. I just need to buy the maker… here’s the one I’ll be purchasing!

LEMON & SEA SALT ROSE MERINGUES

Okay how beautiful are these???? I mean I almost feel bad making them without having a party or reason to photograph them! Besides the fact that they are absolutely gorgeous - other reasons why these are going on my “To Make” list are the fact that they’re lemon flavored and pink! So you can’t go wrong.

RASPBERRY POPOVERS

Don’t these look like the fluffiest little pastries you’ve ever seen?? Another favorite of mine is raspberries, they’re definitely my favorite fruit! So this is awesome because I love desserts that are fruity and in small portions cause like I said, I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

PANCAKES TOPPED WITH ROASTED BERRIES

Here’s an item you can actually justify eating as a meal! Who doesn’t love that?? Honestly these pancakes made my mouth water! Probably because I have a extreme distaste for maple syrup so I love the swap for this berry syrup instead! You could even say that this could be considered “healthy”, haha.

BAKED CHOCOLATE SPRINKLE DONUTS

Donuts are one of the few desserts I actually crave. What I would give for a Krispy Kreme glazed donut right now…. They just opened up a new location by me and I am DYING to go grab a box. But since you know, quarantine and all - I will try to make some myself! Am I a little intimadated? Of course, I mean these are gorgeous how am I supposed to live up to Debi’s?! But I’ll give it my best shot because lord knows we’ve all got some time on our hands!

Hopefully one of these recipes inspires you to get your sweet tooth on!

XX,
