Browse by the kind of finish you want for the meal, then choose a recipe with the flavors and preparation you have in mind.
Browse the posts below, or choose a subcategory when available.
Brownies & Bars
Brownies and bars gather a dessert into a bake that can be cut into portions. Pumpkin latte bars, blueberry squares, and coconut-cherry preparations offer different layers, fillings, and textures.
Cakes
Cinnamon roll cake, hot fudge cake, and other bakes bring different crumb textures and finishes to this collection. Browse cakes for slicing, layering, or serving warm with a suitable accompaniment.
Candy
Peanut brittle, chocolate truffles, and other candies turn sugar, chocolate, or nuts into small portions. Browse confections with different textures, from crisp pieces to a softer sweet center.
Cheesecakes
Cheesecake can be served as a whole cake, a square, or part of another dessert. Bacon-bourbon caramel and salted caramel variations show different flavors within a creamy cheese-based preparation.
Chocolate
Chocolate gives hot fudge sauce, cakes, and other desserts a common flavor while allowing very different textures. Browse this collection for a chocolate-focused component or a finished sweet dish.
Cobblers, Crisps & Crumbles
Fruit, crumbs, and batter combine in different ways in cobblers, crisps, and crumbles. Apple crisp and cream cheese cobblers offer contrasting approaches to a dessert served in spooned or cut portions.
Cookies
Lemon oatmeal cookies, biscotti, and savory pimiento cheese cookies show the variety of this collection. Browse for a cookie’s texture and flavor, whether you want a small sweet bake or a savory bite.
Dessert Pastries
Apple fritters, cream puffs, and other dessert pastries bring dough and fillings together in different forms. Browse pastries for a crisp shell, a tender center, or a layered sweet serving.
Frozen Desserts
Frozen desserts bring temperature into the texture of a sweet serving. Affogato, frozen yogurt, ice cream, and other preparations offer different bases and flavors for a chilled finish to the meal.
Fruit Desserts
Fruit gives these desserts their flavor, moisture, or contrasting texture. Blueberry squares, cherry cream squares, and apple crisp offer different ways to bring fruit into a sweet serving.
Mousses, Possets & No-Bake Desserts
Mousses, possets, and chilled desserts offer soft textures without relying on a baked cake structure. Lemon posset and chocolate mousse provide contrasting starting points for a spooned dessert.
Parfaits, Trifles & Layered Desserts
A trifle or layered dessert combines several textures in one serving. Chocolate-peach trifle, coffee carlota, and pecan pie layers offer different arrangements of cream, fruit, and other components.
Pies & Tarts
Apple squares, peach cream pie, and orange cream pie offer different fillings within the pie and tart collection. Pastry and crumb bases provide structure while fruit, cream, or other ingredients shape the finished slice.
Puddings & Custards
Lemon posset, rice pudding, and bread pudding bring different ingredients into a soft dessert. These puddings and custards invite attention to the texture of a serving eaten with a spoon.
