Made with fresh strawberries, vanilla, a touch of cinnamon and cardamom, and a foolproof pie crust this simple Strawberry Galette is a serious showstopper. The berries turn jammy and sweet while the crust becomes caramelized and crisp.

Creamy Lemon Pie

I call this Creamy Lemon Pie magic pie. The filling contains just 4 ingredients (only 3, if you count the lemon zest and juice as one!) and has no eggs or gelatin. Yet, it magically sets up into a sliceable pie with a luscious texture that I dream about. You've got to try this.

  1. I am so excited to find these gluten free dessert recipes, especially the pies. Trying some things out for a friend. Made the chocolate chip cookie .recipe from the bag of Cup 4 Cup and was told they were the best cookies ever. Anxious now to try the pie crust with the flour I have left.
