Winter Strawberry Gelato

I’m calling this “winter” strawberry gelato only because I’m making it with frozen organic strawberries. You can use sweet, fresh strawberries when they’re in season. The recipe is inspired by Sherry Yard, a pastry chef who taught me that you can make perfectly wonderful ice cream with no cream and no eggs. I make this one with 2 percent milk, but you could use whole milk. If you’re thinking of using skim milk, substitute water and make sorbet.

Pumpkin Pots de Crème with Amaretti-Ginger Crunch

It may be Thanksgiving, but to make pumpkin pie is a relatively thankless task. Always invited but often ignored, most pumpkin pies are too heavy to enjoy after a large dinner. Yet the meal is somehow incomplete without it. Sometimes it's kinder to break up the union of pumpkin and pie. An ethereal custard covered with crunchy cookie crumbs and spicy-sweet ginger plays the pumpkin role with more grace. Traditional pumpkin-pie spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can be used or not, according to the impeccable taste of the cook.

Persimmon Gelato With Rum

The rum is really what puts this persimmon gelato over the top, because it then tastes like the creamy apotheosis of rich frozen rum. For this recipe, you’ll need Fuyu persimmons, which are more forgiving than their Hachiya counterparts. When whisking in the eggs, watch the heat. Keep it low. You don’t want them to curdle.

Butterscotch Peaches

I make a peach-butterscotch sauce that I dreamed up to impress my children, whose love for me, though unwavering, I am nonetheless constantly trying to cement with food. The result was delectable. We ate the sauce straight from the pot. We ate it from the serving dish. And we ate what was left for dessert that night, poured over Ronnybrook vanilla ice cream with chewy gingersnaps from Hawthorne Valley on the side. My children’s adoration of me was unaffected by the butterscotch, but their energy level definitely got a boost from all the sugar.

Creamy Rice Pudding

This is comfort food at its sweetest and most gentle: a rice pudding cooked in a medium oven, watched carefully, and flavored with a touch of cinnamon. You can top it off with raisins or currants, some toasted pecans or a bit of brown sugar — or just leave it alone.
