This No-Bake Cake Requires Only 2 Ingredients - So, Like, What're You Waiting For?

Any crunchy cookie should and ought to make its way into an icebox cake. That mantra inspired this chocolate chip cookie icebox cake, which tastes as if the cookies have just been dipped into a nice cold glass of milk. The chocolate chips stay crunchy, so there's still textural contrast. I didn't sweeten the whipped cream, as I think the cookies and chocolate chips add enough flavor - but feel free to splash a bit of vanilla and a few tablespoons of sifted powdered sugar. Be prepared for this cake to go fast. Really fast. - Additional reporting by Haley Lyndes Related: Joanna Gaines's Choco...

Joanna Gaines's Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Is Simple, Yes, but It's Also So Damn Good

This year, one of the resolutions I made with my mom was that we wanted to bake more together, and so far, we're off to a pretty great start! (I think a major part of our excitement comes from using all the cute baking supplies she was gifted this holiday season.) We have a handful of both old and new recipes that we've been whipping up, but oddly enough, chocolate chip cookies wasn't one of them. I mean, they're pretty basic, right? While that is true, it's also true that you just can never go wrong with them. There are also so many versions to try, so when I spotted the recipe from the on...

These Chocolate Chip Cookies Are Salty and Sweet - Good Luck Not Eating the Whole Batch

Everyone is on a constant search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie - one that is dense and chewy on the inside while crisp on the outside. I'm included in that list of seekers. I've tried all sorts of recipes - including Serious Eats' so-called best chocolate chip cookies - but I'm going to get real with y'all: there's no need to brown your butter or use a special type of flour. I think I speak for the rest of us when I declare that we really just want a perfectly executed, traditional cookie without the fuss and frills. This recipe deviates only a little from the original Toll House on...

I Made The Cheesecake Factory's Cinnamon Roll Pancakes at Home, and Breakfast Will Never Be the Same

I'm not ashamed to admit that The Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorite restaurants. Yeah, that might be basic since it's a chain, but come on, have you tried their brown bread before? But apart from their signature desserts and appetizers, what I love the most (and also miss the most right now) about The Cheesecake Factory is their brunch - specifically their Saturday and Sunday morning menu. From jambalaya to belgian waffles, it's truly a spectrum of food I appreciate choosing from in my most inconsistent of moods. But my all time favorite is their cinnamon swirl pancakes. It's like Ci...

This Chocolate Babka Recipe Might Just Be the Closest Thing to Pure Bliss We've Ever Experienced

OK, baking fans, we have a real project for you if you're up for the challenge. Set aside your basic banana bread, because it's time to move on to a recipe for the patient pros. Yes, patient, because this recipe for chocolate babka will take several hours to complete. Once you've made it, though, all the hard work will be worth it. Traditional babka, which is a sweet bread-like cake, has Jewish and Eastern European origins. It's most commonly made with a cinnamon sugar swirl, but chocolate has become a more prominent flavor in recent years. The babka really isn't that difficult to make, but...

The Richest, Fudgiest Salted Brownies You'll Ever Try

Until I tried this brownie recipe, I was a firm believer that the batter would always trump the end result. Time and time again, I'd bite in and be disappointed by a mild, cakey dessert that was a mere shadow of its bowl-licking-good beginnings, but not with these. Don't let their crackly, craggy, salt-speckled tops fool you - below the surface is an insanely rich, fudgy, dense crumb that captures brownie batter's lush flavor and texture but is much easier to share with friends. Since my brownie revelation, I've loaded them with chopped nuts, swirled them with caramel sauce, and even amped ...

Gigi Hadid's Recipe For Spicy Vodka Pasta Sauce Is the Best Thing I've Cooked in Lockdown

Gigi Hadid recently posted a recipe for spicy vodka pasta sauce on her Instagram Stories, and I was instantly inspired. Pasta is one of my all-time favorite dinners, and considering the fact that I eat it at least two or three nights a week (don't judge me), I consider myself a pro when it comes to cooking delicious sauces. But I have to admit, I hadn't tried a spicy vodka sauce before. At the end of 2019, I finally paid a visit to Carbone in New York City, which is a traditional Italian restaurant that serves a spicy vodka rigatoni dish that costs a cool $32. It's worth every penny - hands...

This Boozy Pineapple Whip Tastes Like Summer in a Cup, and I'm Obsessed

There's nothing I love more than lying poolside with a great book and a fruity summer cocktail in hand. But since I can't hit the pool or beach anytime soon, I've been on the hunt for an easy alcoholic drink I can make at home, and this boozy pineapple whip is as refreshing as it is sweet. The pineapple cocktail, which includes very few ingredients (frozen pineapple, coconut milk, coconut or pineapple rum, and sweetened condensed milk) surprisingly uses no ice, but it absolutely hits the cool and boozy jackpot. Since the recipe has an equal combo of both pineapple and coconut, choosing your...

Clear Lemon Meringue Pie Exists, and My Brain Hurts Just Looking at It

Get this: you can make clear pie! While that may sound like a weird science experiment, it's actually a thing, and there are a handful of recipes out there for it, like this one from Tastemade. It basically takes a traditional lemon meringue pie and gives it a completely cool twist by making it clear. With the use of gelatin in the filling, your lemon meringue pie will be see-through rather than its normal lemony-yellow hue. Think of it as a clear Jell-O pie with whipped meringue topping. Sounds pretty cool, right? Make this very trippy recipe at home with all the instructions in the galler...

Everything You Need to Know About the Current Meat Shortage and How It Affects You

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, grocery stores have taken the necessary steps to protect their customers by implementing safety guidelines, including mandatory face masks, appropriate social distancing between customers, and sanitizing between each checkout. And while the past few weeks have brought uncontrollable limitations on a variety of products like paper towels and hand sanitizer, one thing grocery stores may now be implementing new restrictions on on purpose is meat products. One of America's largest meat processors, Tyson Foods, even issued a full-page ad in The New York Times cauti...

Imagine: a craft cocktail frozen into a cool, refreshing ice pop. It almost sounds like a dream, doesn't it?

A Complete Guide to Flour Substitutes For All Kinds of Baking

If you've been baking more than usual lately, you're not alone. Many times a tempting new recipe will call for all-purpose flour or even a unique flour that you'll only use once, like bread or cake flour. You might not want to venture out for just one ingredient, and if you do, there's a chance you might not find it at the store. Thankfully, there are lots of flour substitutes that can work, as long as you have a few pantry staples on hand. When discussing flour substitutes, it's important to understand a key factor: protein content. When mixed with water, the protein found in wheat flour f...

I Don't Want You to Make Chrissy Teigen's Coconut Rice, Because Then There'll Be Less Rice For Me

My first time trying coconut rice was on teriyaki chicken night in my college dining hall, and I was instantly obsessed. It felt like such a luxury side dish compared to the greasy foods we were often offered, so when I came across Chrissy Teigen's sweet and salty coconut rice recipe, I knew I had to try it.

Who's Hungry? This 30-Minute Pad-Thai-Inspired Recipe Will Keep You Full All Week Long

When I'm in the mood to meal prep, one of my favorite dishes to throw together is this pad-thai-inspired noodle dish. Unlike a traditional pad thai, this recipe typically comes together with whatever ingredients I have in my freezer or pantry and a healthy five-ingredient almond butter sauce to tie it all together. Rice noodles, frozen vegetables, and chicken are at the base of this supereasy dish, but sometimes I like to play around with the protein and add a handful of frozen shrimp or a few cubes of crispy tofu to shake it up. The dish can easily be switched up to suit your taste and sti...
