A collection of easy, delicious dessert recipes including cookies, cakes, pies, tarts, fruit desserts, puddings, custards and confections. Got butter?! You’re gonna’ need it.
The Devil’s Food Salted Caramel Cupcakes we whipped up a week ago for a certain three year old’s birthday. So good we had offers of indentured servitude in exchange for more, here’s the recipe!
Cookies for breakfast? Relax Mom, they’re vegan, wheat-free, low sugar, low fat, Granola Breakfast Cookies. But nobody needs to know they’re healthy!
An overwhelming desire for the taste of orange and chocolate lead me down the slippery slope of recipe development creating a deep, dark and delicious Chocolate Orange Chiffon Cake that thrilled neighbors and crushed that craving. (The neighbors love it when I bake!)
A little something interesting for Valentine’s Day with our Up Your Skirt Dessert; a reconstructed creme brulee, strawberry carpaccio, a dash of chocolate and a pair of edible gams. What? You were expecting cupcakes?!
Literally translated, Crème Brûlée means Burnt Cream, but the way the French say it is much more romantic. A rich, creamy vanilla custard topped with a layer of hard caramel, that is literally, scorched sugar. What better way to bring romance to the table than to break out the blow torch and burn a little sugar?!
In Thailand Black Rice Pudding is often served for breakfast, afternoon tea and dessert. A rice and coconut custard, baked in the oven and served plain or with coconut ice cream, it’s nutty, smooth and creamy and delicious warm or cold.
Smooth, dark and super rich, this Chocolate Espresso Truffle Cake is a slab of pure chocolate heaven. It’s also flourless so there’s no pesky carbohydrates, and it’s gluten free. Just a few simple ingredients you probably already have: butter, sugar, chocolate, espresso and eggs, it’s temptation in it’s purest form. You’ve been warned.
Two recipes adapt in dramatic contrast to create a new personal best. A far east twist on a holiday favorite, Asian Gingerbread Pear Cake is slightly sweet, moist and intense with the bright addition of poached pears for a show-stopping, simple cake; the prefect fit for holiday entertaining.
To be more precise: candied yams, dates & walnuts with yogurt & brandied figs. A happy accident that became dessert
This time of year I love a warm scone, fresh from the oven. Perfect with a nice hot cup of tea on a late fall day. Lemon scones are among my favorites; adding cranberry and white chocolate. Light, fragrant, not too sweet; perfect for the girls on a Sunday afternoon or as a hostess gift during the holidays.
The Chef in my life, was my first soufflé. He makes it look so easy. So we’re tasking Food Gypsy Technical Advisor, Chef Benoit Gelinotte, to give us his best tips so you can soufflé like you’ve never souffléd before this holiday season. Starting with a little sugar and spice – the Chipotle Chocolate Soufflé.
If you’re going to commandeer Halloween candy, there should be some kind of plan for later usage that the whole family can enjoy. Like making cookies! Caramel Mars Bar Cookies are popular with kids of all ages especially when we super-size then and make COLOSSAL COOKIES; cookies that eat like a meal.
