 First of all, I want to thank all of you who are visiting my new site and leaving comments and subscribing. Thank you so much! It melts my heart to get all the support from all of you during my big move to WordPress! I owe you all plates and plates of cookies! 🙂

My week without the oven continues. And even though I do miss a freshly baked pastry or a cupcake, I am really enjoying rediscovering all of the frozen and no-bake treats and desserts you can make! Like the one, you saw here yesterday. Frozen yogurt anyone?

 If you ask my girls, they will tell you how cool it is to see the cherry pits popping out right into a bowl! If you ask me, I am glad there is no mess to clean. In a matter of seconds, you have perfectly pitted cherries ready to pop into your mouth or use in your dessert! Like this one.

Would you like to save this recipe?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

Oh my sweet cherry goodness!!! Was this one good or what!

I am in love with my new go-to cookie crust from this cake. I could eat it with a spoon!

The cherry sauce is out-of-this-world delicious! It would be great on a morning bagel topped with cream cheese... MMmm... Just sayin' 🙂

    Anna, this dessert look amazing and so simple! I love that! I just got an OXO cherry pitter and it is fantastic! I made a cherry sorbet that was a breeze since I didn't have to pit the cherries by hand. I know I'll be buying a whole lot more cherries with this wonderful gadget! Thanks for another yummy recipe!
