- We like Dolly Parton’s favorite vintage desserts from her Pinterest board “Baking with Dolly.”
- The desserts are flavorful, simple to make and quick—some with four steps or five ingredients.
- Also included are serving suggestions and how to reduce sugar if that’s a concern.
Our daily scroll through Pinterest reaches a new level every time we check out Dolly Parton’s pins—they’re exactly what we need. We’re especially enjoying the country singer’s “Baking with Dolly” board, which features some of Parton’s favorite recipes for sweet and delicious baked goods. In the description of the Pinterest board, Parton writes, “Baking for me is like singing sweet harmonies. On this board, I’m sharing my collection of scrumptious recipes, delectable treats and delightful creations.” From simple pies to buttery sides transformed into chocolaty delights, we’re highlighting four of Dolly Parton’s favorites, and now they’re ours too, including her Peanut Butter Pie made with only five ingredients.
Walnut Pie
Step aside, pecan pie—Dolly’s Walnut Pie looks next-level delicious. This vintage-style recipe is only four steps away from being topped with whipped cream and devoured or served à la mode. Walnuts are also great for your brain and gut health because they’re packed with fiber. If you’re looking for an alternative to corn syrup, our Custard Pecan Pie uses cane syrup instead for a toasty, sweet flavor.
Banana Pudding
Parton’s recipe for Banana Pudding only takes 35 minutes to make, so it’s a nice, light dessert for any night of the week. It’s easy to reduce the sugar in this recipe by using less granulated sugar and choosing a low-sugar option for the vanilla wafer cookies. You can easily make this banana pudding recipe ahead of time and immediately serve it after dinner. It reminds us of our Banana Pudding Parfaits recipe.
Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy
We’re fans of innovative biscuits, like biscuits made with cauliflower and other vegetables. But there’s nothing like classic, buttery, homemade biscuits, and Dolly’s Biscuits are sure to be a delicious addition to your holiday dinner spread. Six ingredients make 24 biscuits in this recipe, and to level them up for dessert, you just need five ingredients for the Chocolate Gravy.
Peanut Butter Pie
We said there was going to be a five-ingredient pie in the lineup, and this is it. All you need to re-create Parton’s Peanut Butter Pie at home is peanut butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, Cool Whip and premade graham cracker crust. We’re also thinking this would be luscious with a chocolate crust.
