Sweet! Super-Circle is made with honey, not refined sugar! Dense and intense, this 10-pounder is a scrumptious medley of flavors and textures. Can you say hearty, moist, chewy, crunchy, zesty and rich? The tangy frosting makes it sing!

Triple-chocolate cheesecake with a crushed cookie crust, rich semi-sweet filling, and a silky chocolate-orange liqueur frosting. Baked low and slow for a dense, fudgy center that'll ruin you for ordinary desserts.

Sweet onion and ricotta cheesecake with cranberries and sage!

Garden-fresh sweet potato pie with a rich buttermilk custard filling, two sticks of butter, and pure vanilla. No spices needed when the sweet potatoes do all the talking. Baked low and slow, makes two pies.

Apple crumb cake with a buttery shortbread-style base and crumb topping made from one mixture. Tart cooked apples sandwiched between two crisp golden layers.

Classic double-crust apple pie packed with tart, juicy apples and warm cinnamon and nutmeg, baked golden until the filling bubbles through the vents. The from-scratch fall pie done right.

An heirloom-style tarte tatin from Orléans with handmade laminated pastry and apples slow-simmered in butter caramel in a cast-iron skillet. Flip it, slice it, serve with ice cream.

A traditional Welsh double-crust rhubarb tart with spiced lard pastry scented with cinnamon and mixed spice. Dead simple, properly old-fashioned, and adaptable to any seasonal fruit.

That cherry stuff, the classic no-bake dessert salad with cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, and chopped nuts. Five-minute potluck classic.

A no-bake German chocolate cream pie with melted milk chocolate, cream cheese, and whipped topping in a graham cracker crust. Just 10 minutes of hands-on work, then freeze and serve.

Palm Beach brownies are dense, fudgy, and almost truffle-rich. The Maida Heatter classic with eight ounces of unsweetened chocolate, espresso, almond extract, and walnuts. Yields 36 squares.

Tiramisu from scratch: Italian sponge soaked in espresso-brandy syrup, layered with a silky Marsala zabaglione mascarpone cream, and dusted with cinnamon and coffee. A refined take on the classic.

A legendary British sticky toffee pudding: moist date sponge soaked in buttery brown sugar toffee sauce, grilled until caramelized, and served warm with whipped cream. Pure indulgence for 12.

These are my favorite brownies ever! Yummy rich brownie nestled between a soft sweet oatmeal crust and a thick fudgy chocolate frosting. Might cause food coma.

This authentic Pastel de Tres Leches soaks a fluffy sponge cake in a rich trio of milks until every forkful melts on your tongue. Crowned with billowy meringue and fresh berries, it's the showstopper your next fiesta needs.
