sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

we dont have cool whip in australia.. and let me say when i was on holiday in the US… I gained 3kgs …. from all the coolwhip I was consuming.. that stuff is sooo goood!!

oh and that cakes looks delish.. I am so jealous!!

Me too Bobbie. Jealous muchly. No cool whip in NZ or peanut butter cookies *loud sobs of envy*

Love Cool Whip (especially since I can get it in so many varieties) and I love the free Kraft recipe books. I save every single one as well as the emails (in a special folder of course) and go back to them time and time again. I can’t wait to make this particular recipe and I’ll take your suggestion of making it in the individual ramekins instead.

This looks really good, especially for a hot summer day. I get the Kraft emails and magazines. I just love them, the look so delicious and they are so simple. I want to make the Frozen Oreo dessert that was in the last one.

Wow that looks yummy and not diet friendly.

Oh my word that looks delicious!!

I love the Kraft magazine…especially their desserts. I recently moved and needed to sign up for the magazine again. Thanks for the reminder. Your blog is wonderful. Thanks!

With the heat ago in Madrid do not know how well I would take a little Cool off with Cool Whip! “Just leaving the piece on the computer screen … want to extend his hand and take … . or eat the computer …. and magazines are great pity that here … we do not have that option of compra.Yo’m addicted to magazines … …. would bring greetings, xoxo.

Oh my! You really know how to tempt me… ;-) Is this what they call “love at first sight?”

I LOVE Kraft food & family! Almost all of my husband's favorite dishes that I make come from that magazine, which is great because they're all so quick & easy!

my goodness that looks awesome. I want that now and it’s only breakfast time!

my husband and kids will love this! this is a great treat to make in all this heat!

This looks so delicious! thanks for the recipie.

how does it feel to make the “professionals” who create the dishes for the kraft website pictures look like amateurs? :)

Wow! This dessert looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I signed up for the magazine, too :)

Ok, I’m having a hard time believing Cool Whip isn’t International! Wow! Is there anything similar?

This looks devine. I get the mag but I’ve never noticed that one. I’ll have to go back over them. lol

I love that magazine and have been getting it for years. As someone else mentioned I’ve saved each one, chances are I’ve missed a recipe or two the first go round. Thanks for reminding me of this recipe.

Thx!
Ingrid

The food always looks so great. Have you told us what Camera you use?

That looks so delicious and perfectly refreshing on a hot and humid day!

Ooh, yum! That looks so good right now! I love the kraft mags. as well! Great site too! Thanks for posting!

i wanna try this recipe… but is there anyway to use chocolate instead of peanut butter? i’m really not a big fun of peanut butter. thanks!

What a perfect dessert! So glad it had peanut butter in it!

This looks great. My two favorites – peanut butter and chocolate!

I wish you lived closer, so I could be the neighbor that sampled everything you made!! Love your blog.

I want to be your neighbor too! I’m a terrific “taste tester!” Great recommendation for the Kraft mag…I’ve gotten so many good recipes that I use over and over. Keep up the inspiring work!

Thanks for the tip about the Kraft recipe books. I definitely want to sign up after seeing your creation!

That looks SO good! Don’t tell the real bakers/chefs, but I love Cool Whip more than fresh whipped cream and it’s so much more convenient. I get the Kraft Foods magazine and also love it. Don’t remember that recipe from a few years ago, but probably got it then. Thanks for passing it on. Love the Nutter Butter crust.

Oooh, that looks nice and refreshing. I could, you know, maybe help finish it off. Ya know, help clear out some space in your freezer?

Bobbie – I can't believe that. No Cool Whip? that's crazy!

RedEnZed – no pb cookies either? You guys are deprived.

ladybug – Hope the ramekins work for you.

Glenda – yeah, me too.

Jenn – exactly!

Stella – thanks!

Sara – Glad I could help.

cookemila – too bad you don't get the mags. You would love.

morgana – and after you make it, love at first bite.

Bunny – you can say that again.

Ingrid – no problem.

Amy – It's a canon rebel xti with a 50 mm fixed lens.

Reeni – it was.

cakegirl20 – you're welcome.

sharyl – check out the kraft site. I think they have a lot of chocolate pie recipes with cool whip.

My Sweet & Saucy – I looove pb, don't you?!

Aimee – a perfect match.

Nicole – Me too. Then I wouldn't eat it all myself.

Ann – You can come over too.

Sharon – You'll really enjoy the books.

I love cool whip! Thanks so much for sharing and great pictures :)

That’s so sweet of you to provide the links for both people inside the US and outside it! Thanks and that’s one amazing looking dessert!

Mmm…looks so yummy. Perfect for a summery treat.

Wow. I haven’t been by in a while. I love your blog’s new look, Bakerella!

I checked and nobody has mentioned this yet..but if i missed it I’m sorry for duplicating.

This magazine also comes to canadians in the form of “What’s Cooking” It’s the exact same magazine..just Canadian content…same recipes. kraftfoods.ca I think is the website?
I get tingles when it comes!

That looks so good, deff not dairy free though.. so not in this house *tear*

YUMMMMMMY….Three of my fav. things….Cool whip (I don’t know why some people don’t like it!!! Crazy I guess), Peanut Butter, and of course CHOCOLATE!!! This si a must! I guess I will just have to have a party to make this for!

I LOVE the Kraft Food magazines and have been getting them for the past few years! I save all of them! They are wonderful!

I loved when they sent the calendars as well, but they no longer do. They felt that they wanted to put more into the magazines and got rid of the calendars… sad day!

I have been making this for a couple years now and every time I make it it’s gone in minutes! It’s one of go-to-recpies!

Bakerella, That looks delicious! Silly question, I am hosting a baby shower and I thought cupcake pops might be cute. She is having a girl. What would you reccomend doing to make them cute? Thanks.

Bree – you are welcome

Isa – Just thought people would love these recipe ideas

the southern hostess – it was.

puglyfeet – missed ya. Glad you like the site. It needed a facelift.

Pippi – thanks for the heads up. I added a mention on the post.

Mommy Mary – I feel for you.

Larry & Erica Evans – or you can just treat yourself.

Sandy – At least they're still sending the free mags.

Amber – I know, it's just so easy to eat.

Team Simmons – The easiest thing would be light pink candy melts and white candy melts. Pink on bottom. White on top. And pink m&ms for the toppers. Also white non-pareils to sprinkle. I am hoping to do some soon.

Oh My Goodness! You are talented! I love your site! :)

This is such a pretty dessert! I’m sure it tastes as good as it looks!

Thanks for the help. I will let you know how they turn out!

I love this magazine! i started getting it by accident when we moved and now I’m hooked! there are some seriously delicious recipes!!!

What a great anytime treat – Cool whip really adds so much to any recipe. Love these especially when it is triple digits outside.

Cheers

I love this magazine! I look forward to getting it every time it comes and probably look at it over and over for a week. What a tasty treat you made. Sounds like a good idea making it in individual ramekins.

IU – thansk

E for KC – better, I think.

Team Simmons – sounds good.

heidi – for sure.

Cathy C – i feel for you. triple digits is tough.

Mindy Sauther – thanks

I made this over the weekend, and my boyfriend LOVED it.

the kraft foods mag is hands down the best cooking mag out there!

This is my favorite recipe for taking to bbqs at friends’ houses. It is SO easy and always a big hit. Now, I think I will have to make it again just for the family tonight. Thanks!

cheryl – glad it was good

ashleyd – it rocks!

elizabeth – make some for me, too!

Oh my goodness, I have to bow down, I made this yesterday for our Sunday dinner with my father-in-law and it was DELICIOUS! I am so embarrassed, but between last night and today, I finished it off! It was awesome and a recipe I will definitely keep and do again. I made it with Safeway brand cool-whip and didn’t have enough to do the dollop on top but I didn’t miss it a bit.

Stephanie – Don’t be embarassed. We’re all friends here and who hasn’t eaten a whole dessert before. I know I have.

for those who don’t have access to cool whip (or don’t want to use it because it’s made of nothing but chemicals – ick!), use the real stuff – ACTUAL whipped cream. it will taste even better without the plasticky stuff!

i love the chocolate/pb combo, but is this mostly for people who love peanut butter? was wondering if i (a chocolate lover) should put another layer of chocolate in there, or just use more chocolate so there’s more balance between the pb/chocolate flavors.

That looks divine! Thanks for all your great recipes!

Krissy – true.

Anonymous – you certainly could, but I don’t think they pb flavor is too overwhelming.

Suzanne – you’re welcome.

Just made these today (I don’t have enough ramekins, so I did it in a muffin pan) and they turned out great! My husband was rolling his eyes with each bite – this recipe is a keeper! Thanks!!!

Yay! That’s awesome and I’m sure the muffin pans looked just as cute!

This blog is like a dream come true! i love cool whip so much! i just squirt it into a 2 liter bottle and chug it all day long. it is such a nice pick me up, when i am having a bad day (you know the drill, suffering from indigestion, and wanting to beat the guy in the cubicle next to you with a bat)! But i don’t, cool whip really helps me keep my cool (no pun intended)!

You are just so great to think of people outside the US and Canada…Greetings from Budapest :-)

I tried to get this recipe following your link to Kraft food and family but I get an error message when I tiry to print it. Also, the magazine is no longer free. Your have to get a paid subscription now.

Food and Family is no longer free. I love that magazine I may just have to get a subscription!

MMMM! that looks so professional you are a really good photographer.

just saw this on your blog last week, and decided to make it for my family’s mother’s day celebration! it was a huge hit!!

Just saw this and it looks divine. Thank you for sharing.

Made this a few weeks ago…SOOO good! I want to make it again! The layer of chocolate in the middle is just perfect! Who doesn’t like cool whip, peanut butter, and chocolate!!!

I use that peanut butter as a filling for chocolate cake and topping for cupcakes too! Its sinfully good!
