Miranda’s No Bake Pie Crust Ingredients

Instructions

1 package of graham crackers

This recipe doesn’t come with specific measurements.

Trust your gut.

1 stick of butter Filling Ingredients Fresh blackberries

Graham crackers go in a large ziplock, carefully sealed.

Use a rolling pin to crush into crumbs. Soften the butter, then (for an immersive experience) use your hands to mix butter and graham cracker crumbs until easily moldable.

Press evenly into a pie dish until the bottom and sides are covered.

Fresh blueberries

Honey optional

In a separate bowl, toss berries in as much cinnamon and honey as you can handle. Dump this delicious concoction into your graham cracker crust. Overflow is never a bad thing.

Fresh whipping cream

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Julie’s G Ingredients Peaches Rock sugar optional Dried basil optional Vanilla ice cream Fresh basil

Grilled Peaches Instructions Cut peaches in half and ditch the pits. Kick this dessert into high gear with the optional addition of basil sugar. Add rock sugar and dried basil to a seasoning grinder. Grind and sprinkle this mix on your peach halfs before cooking for a little extra punch.

Grill peaches over medium heat until you have delicious char marks.

Stack fresh basil leaves on top of each other and roll the stack into a tight tube. Cut into thin slices and gently pull apart. You have successfully chiffonaded your basil!

Peaches, ice cream, and basil chiffonade meet up in a bowl and you’re set with the summeriest dessert!
