Dessert Recipes

Toll House bundt cake: a brown sugar pound cake studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, baked over a buttery nut topping that becomes the cake's crown when inverted. Old-school showstopper.

Using a box cake mix as a base is a time saver; substituting cream cheese for mascarpone is a money saver. Tastes like the real thing, is beautiful and surprisingly light.

Just the right amount of everything, and well balanced flavor and texture. A great fall or winter dessert that uses seasonal cranberries and everyone will be thrilled.

Be sure to spoon some of the yummy sauce from the bottom of the pan on top of the dumplings after they're baked, and serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

Cake doesn't have to be always packed with calories, fat and sugar. You only need a few simple twists to make a much healthier cake that still tastes delicious.

A rustic classic filled with blackberries, from my Grandmother's recipe book.

Super moist and crumbly. They are ideal for breakfast or a delicious and nutritious snack at any time of the day.

Literally means "white food". Blancmange is a delicate, quivering snow-white pudding that goes back to the 16th century that was extremely popular in the Victorian age.

They are buttery, flakey and soft in the inside, but still crispy on the outside. Chocolate chips give the extra yumminess in every bite.

Vintage 5-ingredient mayonnaise cookies with no eggs, milk, or butter. Real mayo does all the heavy work for soft, tender sugar cookies with a classic fork-pressed top.

Cream cheese, sugar, and eggs bake with cinnamon and lemon zest into a crustless Spanish-style cheesecake that's lighter than New York style but just as rich. Dust with powdered sugar while warm.

A classic creamy pumpkin pie that is low in fat, but without sacrificing any of the rich taste and silky texture.

A self-saucing cake that's magically fluffy and creates it's own tangy key lime curd. Developed at our summer home in Key Largo with inspiration after watching Junior MasterChef Australia.

Blueberries, Danish and cheesecake are all in one bite, life is good! The cake is made with 100% whole wheat flour, applesauce and olive oil, and they are all good for you. Having one slice or two for breakfast with the morning coffee sounds like a good idea to me :)

Kahlua balls with crushed Oreo cookies, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, and Kahlua coffee liqueur rolled into bite-sized truffles. A no-bake, boozy cookie ball that chills overnight.
