S’mores Layer Cake
This cake is a labor of love, but you can make all of the individual parts ahead of time, and the finished dessert truly tastes like a bite of old-fashioned s’mores. The base is a deeply chocolatey sour cream cake that stays soft and moist for days. The cake layers are sandwiched together with toasted marshmallow buttercream and graham cracker crumbles. The sweet and salty graham crumbles, made from graham cracker crumbs that are mixed with sugar and melted butter and then baked, add crunchy texture to the cake and make a terrific garnish, too. You will need a kitchen torch to toast the meringue for the buttercream, but it’s totally worth it for that iconic, deeply caramelized marshmallow flavor.
Chocolate Chia Pudding
Ideal for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast or snack, chocolate chia pudding is a nutritional powerhouse that takes minimal effort to prepare. Flavored with cocoa powder and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamon and a pinch of nutmeg, this cooling pudding can be prepared with your milk of choice, no cooking required. It does need an overnight rest in the refrigerator to set: For the best texture, stir the pudding mixture together in the evening for breakfast or a snack the next day. The longer the pudding rests, the more the chia seeds will expand and absorb the liquid. Add a splash of milk to thin out to desired consistency when serving, and top with any combination of fruits, nuts and granola.
