The appetizer that tastes like SUMMER πŸ‘πŸ“πŸ₯‚

An oozy baked cheese topped with fresh summer fruit and a drizzle of honey for a sweet bite! πŸ§€ it doesn’t get any better than this! One of the easiest appetizers to whip up when someone says β€œI’m coming over”

Find the full recipe in the comments ✨

What you’ll need:

πŸ§€ brie cheese
πŸ§€ strawberries
πŸ§€ peaches
πŸ§€ olive oil
πŸ§€ honey drizzle
πŸ§€ fresh basil

TIP: score the top of your brie so it bakes evenly! Never take the rind off your brie cheese especially for baking because it holds the cheese together while it cooks 🫢🏻

I love serving this alongside crackers or a fresh baguette! With a chilled glass of rosΓ© you can’t go wrong

SAVE to make on repeat this summer πŸ”

Your next party NEEDS margarita Jell-O shots πŸ‹β€πŸŸ©

Jell-O shots are the new hottest way to serve up cocktails this summerπŸ‹β€πŸŸ©βœ¨ they are SO easy to make ahead of time and only require a few ingredients!

What you’ll need (makes 24)

πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 6 limes (juiced and insides removed)
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 1 cup water
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin (I got mine from )
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 1/2 cup tequila (I used )
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 1/4 cup triple sec (I used )
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 1/4 cup lime juice - strained from the limes)
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© 2-3 tbsp agave or honey
πŸ‹β€πŸŸ© tajin or sugar for garnish after

Cut the limes in half, cut out the flesh as best you can and then juice the flesh in a bowl. Pour 1/2 cup cold water in a bowl, add in gelatin and let sit for 5 min. Heat remaining cup of water until hot (not boiling) and pour over gelatin & mix. Stir in tequila, triple sec, agave, salt. Add half lime cups to muffin tin and pour in margarita mix. Put in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight to set. With a sharp knife, cut lime shells in half and rub each shot in tajin or sugar.

If you want your Jell-O shots a little sweeter, use marg mix instead of lime juice.

These were SO easy to make and such a hit at any party! Enjoy at summer BBQs, by the pool, girls night in or just because! πŸ‹β€πŸŸ©πŸŒž

SAVE so you remember to make this summer!
