2-Ingredient Affogato

It doesn't get any better or easier than pouring rich, smoldering espresso coffee over a scoop (or two!) of your favorite ice cream. When served with thin & crispy vanilla cookies, it makes for a satisfying and company-worth dessert. And all it takes is making a good cup of Joe.

Coconut Bread Pudding

Laurent Torondel, the chef of BLT Steak and BLT Fish, developed this recipe for tropical bread pudding. It's rich and luxurious, but quite easy to assemble. Thin challah slices are layered on top of one another then drenched with a boozy mix of eggs, sugar, cream and coconut milk. It's baked in a bain-marie, then slid under the broiler for a few minutes to achieve a crackly-brown top.

Kamut Flour Shortbread Cookies

What better way to experience the marvelously rich, buttery aroma of organic Kamut flour than in a classic shortbread cookie. Kamut flour is an ancient ancestor of our modern wheat, containing 20-40% more protein and a heck of a lot more flavour. After experimenting with both spelt and Kamut flour, I found that it is necessary to adjust the classic ratio of butter and flour when using high absorption flours to make shortbread. An additional quarter cup of flour per cup is sufficient to provide structure without yielding a dry cookie. The final result is a melt-in-your-mouth shortbread with an entirely new flavor and texture to savor.

Cardamom Cream Cake

Layer cakes are always festive, particularly when they are four-layered, fluffy and cloudlike. This one, based on the flavors of an Indian dessert called ras malai, combines rose water, ricotta cheese and cardamom. Egg whites in the batter and mascarpone in the buttercream give the cake an especially ethereal texture, while a cardamom-infused milk syrup keeps it moist. Make sure to use cold, straight-from-the fridge mascarpone and yogurt for the frosting; it can curdle if you try to beat it when the ingredients are too warm.

Raspberry Rose Rugelach

With its garnet-hued raspberry jam filling and fragrant rose sugar topping, this rugelach is a vivid departure from more traditional incarnations. It also uses two different kinds of salt, which provide forthright seasoning and a bare hint of crunch. You can make them up to 5 days ahead, if stored in an airtight container.

White Chocolate Brown Butter Mousse

The nutty flavour of brown butter comes through as a subtle and truly unique note in this light yellow mousse. The recipe combines a few fun techniques, but still comes together in less than 30 min. It’s also extremely easy to scale – 1 ounce chocolate, 1 egg and 1 tbsp. butter per. person. Chocolate mousse aficionados may recognize it as a ratio picked up from Elizabeth David.

Candied Fruitcake

I discovered that candied fruit likes getting soused with currants or dates, and that it isn't fussy about the medium: sherry, rum or Cognac all make it happy. And the trick to baking with it is simple: use the good stuff and use it judiciously. Fold just enough diced peel and choice cherries into a batter with chopped dates and spice and watch the tone and texture lighten up. No one would dream of calling this fruitcake.
