Dessert Recipes

Flapper Pie: a Canadian Prairie classic with a buttery graham cracker crust, silky vanilla custard filling, and a cloud of toasted meringue on top.

These chocolaty and moist cupcakes are filled with cream cheese and chocolate chips filling that adds extra creaminess and chocolaty taste into every bite. Decorate these delicious cupcakes into Halloween spiders, skulls, skeleton, mummies... Whichever way you or your kids love. Being creative and make sure to make a few bunches, they will disappear quickly.

Chocolate brandy cake doctors a devil's food mix with brandy, eggs, and oil, then bakes into a tender bundt soaked twice with a hot brandy-chocolate glaze. Make a day ahead for full flavor.

This scrumptious snack is perfect when on the go or at work. You might even need to take extras just in case!

Walk to school cookies: buttery slice-and-bake shortbread with chopped pecans, dusted with powdered sugar. Make-ahead icebox cookies sturdy enough to survive a backpack and lunchbox.

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

These days it seems to be all the rage among my Facebook friends to post and repost ad nauseum a seemingly neverending list of recipes that SEEM like they might be super delicious. I haven't really saved any of them. Until now. I really really didn't want to lose this one so I'm sharing it with my colleagues on MY favorite recipe site. RecipeLand!

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

If you are a chocolate fan, this is an excellent recipe for you to try without guilt, it is much lighter than normal chocolate pie. The thick chocolate taste will satisfy you. Also it is a great dessert for holiday.

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.

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.

Make these pretty snow flake cookies look more appealing and attractive by decorating them with Christmas icing. They may look too pretty to put into mouth :)

Super smooth texture with intense chocolate flavor along with a dose of marshmallow fluff that keeps this fudge light and fluffy.

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.

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

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 :)
