Dessert Recipes

Tasty Halloween treats made into the shape of mice. Very chocolaty but not too sweet.

Almond ginger biscotti with the proper twice-baked crunch, studded with whole almonds, candied ginger and warm cardamom. Crisp, dunkable Italian cookies that keep for weeks in the jar.

Almond crescent cookies, a classic holiday shortbread shaped into delicate crescents with chopped almonds, vanilla, and almond extract, rolled in powdered sugar after baking. Buttery, tender, slightly sandy.

Almonds, chocolate and coffee make these delicious biscotti. A great snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

Light, fluffy and tasty cookies are great treat to satisfy and impress your guests without feeling guilty.

We took these tartlets with us to our friends place to dinner, they disappeared quickly, and they were so tasty, almond crust was a hit, and whole milk custard turned out creamy and delicious. Definitely a keeper!

Almond cream cheese biscotti with toasted sliced almonds and a hint of anise. Cream cheese gives these twice-baked Italian cookies a softer, more tender bite while keeping the signature crunch for dunking in coffee.

Decorated cookies the grownups will love---they're loaded with toasted almonds and candied orange peel.

Dark Christmas cake is the real, old-fashioned fruitcake: dense with raisins, currants, figs, dates, and almonds, deepened with brown sugar, prune juice, and brandy, then aged in brandy-soaked cheesecloth. Make it now, slice it at Christmas.

Irish Christmas cake soaked in whiskey with dried fruits, almonds, candied orange peel, and a marzipan coating. A rich, dense celebration cake that starts with an overnight whiskey fruit soak.

Vegan pineapple bundt cake made with silken tofu, applesauce, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, ground almonds, and crushed pineapple. Egg-free and dairy-free.

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

Much lighter than classic cheesecake, and it is very smooth and flavorful, nice and creamy flavor from ricotta cheese and sour cream, lemon juice and zests add the refreshing citrus taste into the cheese pie; and the almond crust was flaky, nutty and tangy.

It was definitely my kind of dessert, it's sweet, but too sweet; vanilla sauce gave some richness, but wasn't overwhelming. The peach-maple filling was so delicious, packed with fresh peach flavor, of course :D and the juicy filling was just oozing out loudly.

Another delicious cake recipe from my Norway friend: Here in Norway, the cake has both names, but the official name is success, cake!

A scrumptious and decadent dessert that will have your family asking you to make it everyday!
