Whether you’re craving something rich and chocolatey or light and fruity, there’s a dessert here for every season and every occasion. Chocolate lovers should start with my favorite airy Dark Chocolate Mousse finished with flaky salt, or a Torta Caprese, the flourless Italian chocolate almond cake. In the fall, an easy Apple Tarte Tatin made with store-bought puff pastry is hard to beat, and in summer, a warm Cherry Crisp or an icy Salted Espresso Granita con Panna hits the spot. And when you want to impress, make Strawberry Balsamic Pavlovas, crisp, marshmallowy meringues piled high with juicy berries.
This creamy key lime cheesecake is the perfect dessert with a no-bake chocolate cookie crust and smooth lime-infused filling. Easy to make and perfectly tangy!
Bright, refreshing, and ultra-creamy—this Canary Melon Sherbet is summer in a scoop. With just a few ingredients and no cooking required, it’s the easiest frozen dessert you’ll make all season.
Orange scented fried dough balls, covered in honey, topped with toasted pine nuts and colorful sprinkles. The classic Italian holiday dessert from my childhood.
An easy recipe for poached pears in rosé wine spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, topped with cream and chopped pistachios. A foolproof method for poaching pears and making an elegant, quick, dessert.
A vibrant fruit sorbet that’s just as refreshing as it looks. This dragon fruit sorbet—aka pitaya sorbet—comes together with just a few ingredients and tastes like summer in a scoop.
An easy strawberry ice cream recipe made without eggs, using fresh or frozen berries. This Philadelphia-style ice cream is creamy, simple, and perfect for summer.
This easy braised rhubarb is bright, tangy, and infused with cardamom, vanilla, and citrus. Serve it warm or chilled with thick Greek yogurt and chopped pistachios for the ultimate spring breakfast—or a light, not-too-sweet dessert.
A crisp-on-the-outside, marshmallow-soft pavlova topped with whipped cream and tart pomegranate seeds. It’s light, dramatic, a little fancy—but shockingly easy to make. If you’re looking for a show-stopping winter dessert, this is it.
