Dessert Recipes

For all of the trouble that this cake is to make the RAVE reviews are more than sufficient reward. The recipe I had years ago called for a dollop of sour cream as a garnish. That worked for me.

Pumpkin spice cheesecake with graham crust and broiled coconut-almond crunch topping. Impressive fall dessert that requires 4 hours of chilling before serving.

These gooey cream cheese bars start with a yellow cake mix crust and get topped with a rich layer of powdered sugar, coconut, and nuts. They vanish from the pan faster than you can say "save me one."

A decadent and delicious cheesecake made with raspberry jam and raspberry liqueur.

Carrot cake layered with grated carrots, crushed pineapple, walnuts, coconut, and raisins, topped with orange-scented cream cheese frosting. Three layers of moist, spiced cake that gets better overnight.

This is really a "mock" tiramisu as it is not made with Italian mascarpone cheese, which is traditional. This is, however, a lot quicker and easier (and less expensive).

A treasured memory of Christmas at Great-Aunt Elizabeth's house was a cookie that I never learned to eat in moderation. Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the first things I would say upon arrival was, "I'm hungry" hoping that these cookies would appear. Much to my delight they usually did, and in fact, began also to appear at Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and any other time we got together to celebrate.

Pumpkin pie cheesecake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and warm pie spice over a buttery crumb crust. Pumpkin pie meets cheesecake in one tender slice.
