5 of my Favorite Pink Treats
Roasted Beet Hummus – Roasted beets really brighten up this hummus recipe. And they provide a subtle earthy sweetness. Hubby and I served this at a get together with friends and it was the talk of the party.
Chocolate M&M Cookies – M&M cookies are such a classic treat. These use a brownie-like batter instead of a sugar cookie base and have M&Ms on the outside AND the inside.
White Chocolate Cranberry Mousse – White chocolate and orange zest help to mellow out the tartness of the cranberries in this mousse. It is delicate and fluffy and tastes like fall.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Beets – Another case of beets making something BRIGHT pink. Here the beets are mixed into mashed sweet potatoes. The sauteed scallions on top provide a punch of savory to this sweet veggie mash.
Berry Cream Cheese – Berries and cream cheese make a lot of sense. This super simple recipe combines the two for use on your favorite bagel.
Don’t forget about my Power of Pink Challenge – make something PINK by the end of the month to raise Breast Cancer Awareness!
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Love any type of mousse- esp if it’s pink!
Love the pink! So cute and it looks and sounds delicous! Thanks!
This looks so wonderful! I never would have thought of cranberries and white chocolate together- you are so right-what a great option for Thanksgiving!
Great idea! I am always in charge of dessert for Thanksgiving and this would be perfect to add to the line-up.
I know you said lighter dessert idea, but I’m picturing a cranberry mousse tart with dark chocolate drizzled on top!
This looks delicious! Also, can I ask…what kind of backdrop do you shoot your photos on? It is so clean and really highlights the food at hand!
Rachel – For the majority of my photographs, I use 12″x12″ scrapbooking pages. I have a bg folder with all my pages in them. I have been using a lot of solid colors recently. I have to admit I love how the blue background really makes the pink mousse pop in these pics!
Lovin’ the cranberryness here!
Love the pinkness and love the recipe!
This sounds delicious, and I love how that beautiful pink color just pops. Definitely going on my menu!!
This mousse looks divine! I could not be trusted around it.
