Two ingredient chocolate mousse

I've tried many ways of making chocolate mousse, and this new one is by far the easiest and lightest that I've made so far. It's just whipped egg whites and melted chocolate, nothing else. I used to also mix in the egg yolks, but I find this version to be much more airy and less heavy. For fun and extra flavour I decorated it with cocoa powder, cocoa nibs and coarse sea salt. But this is truly optional, this mousse is delicious enough to be eaten on its own.

Chocolate Covered Figs filled with Ganache

While living in Spain I discovered a tiny shop called Casa Gispert. They sold, among other things, the most incredible dried fruits and nuts as well as artisanal chocolates. As it was Christmas when I made this discovery, the owner suggested I try the chocolate covered figs. To my surprise, they were not only dipped in chocolate but were also filled with a rich chocolate ganache. I bought 4 and ate them on the way home. When I went back to buy some as gifts they had sold out. In an effort to spread this wonderful holiday delight, I have come up with my own version using flavored chocolate in the ganache. I like dark chocolate with sea salt, milk chocolate with cinnamon and bacon, and white chocolate with pink pepper, star anise and black cardamom.

Makes 40-48

Hibiscus Pear Preserves

This recipe came about when I found tried to make the Chunky Pear Preserves with Sage in Marisa McClellan's Preserving By The Pint cookbook and realized I didn't have any sage. I did however have dried hibiscus that I was going to use in another recipe but never got around to making. I also reduced the amount of honey to allow the flavors of the pears and hibiscus to shine through. The result was wonderful. In fact the first time I made it my husband sat down and ate 2 jars by himself. I have also made this recipe with Cortland apples with great results.

New Classic Buttercream

This is real French buttercream reorganized to eliminate the trickiest steps. Traditional French buttercream requires pouring hot sugar syrup over eggs while beating steadily -- without scrambling them or splattering most of the syrup around the sides of the bowl. Then the mixture is reheated (to be sure that the eggs get cooked but not scrambled) and beaten again to cool before beating in the butter. Pastry chefs make this all the time, but home cooks are at a disadvantage because small batches are trickier than large batches. This recipe produces classic results with fewer, easier steps. Recipe from Flavor Flours: A New Way to Bake With Teff, Buckwheat, Sorghum, Other Whole and Ancient Grains, Nuts, and Non-Wheat Flours (Artisan, 2014).

Makes 3 cups, more than enough for one 8- or 9-inch layer cake

Vegan Roast Peach Ice Cream

Vegan Roast Peach Ice Cream

This ice cream came about as part of ongoing experiments with Psyllium husk. Vegan ice creams tend to be icy as the fat content from the milk cream is missing. Often, recipes incorporate starches, such as corn, potato or arrowroot, thicken and correct the texture of thinner nut milks. Psyllium does a similar trick of thickening the fluids and cutting through some of the icy-ness that may result when frozen. This recipes uses coconut milk that has a higher fat content than nut milks. It helps to use only the cream part of the coconut milk, that part that floats onto the top inside the can, and discard the watery bits. This is not a blended ice cream and it tastes as such. You get to taste every flavor with integrity.

Mini Mounds Bites

The very idea of coconut and chocolate together makes me weak in the knees, but I assure you it wasn't always that way. As a kid I would hardly look twice at a mounds bar or an almond joy because, uh hello, SNICKERS! But as I've ripened and explored outside beyond the overly sweetened flaky variety, I've fallen deeply in love with the purity and versatility of this fruit. Pair it with dark chocolate and that snickers bar can't hold a candle. For a decadent treat full of real ingredients that shine without being masked by extra sugar, or a sweet craving that whips up in no time, or even a last minute dessert for your girls wine night, these little babies are adorable and reminiscent.

watermelon and tomato gazpacho sorbet

I have a garden bursting with tomatoes, and had a small sweet, but somewhat older watermelon forgotten on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. I made gazpacho, but my family does not like gazpacho. So I added sugar and froze it in an ice-cream machine. It was yummy. not very sweet. Refreshing, surprising, and with an olive oil flavor note. Just the thing to go the very creamy basil ice cream I made earlier in the week (yes, that is here too).
