Chilled Oranges in Rum-Caramel Syrup

This easy, stylish recipe is an old favorite, adapted from a recipe in a French fashion magazine circa 1972. You can serve it as you would fruit compote for brunch, or as a refreshing, light dessert after a spicy meal. Or spoon a moat of it around a scoop of vanilla or honey ice cream or a trembling spoon of panna cotta. Recipe from Pure Dessert (Artisan, 2007)

Dark Chocolate and Pomegranate Bark

Chocolate bark is the workhorse of homemade holiday gifts, and in Tom Faglon's version, he scatters fresh pomegranate seeds over the surface, where they glisten like rubies. Chewy bits of candied ginger are hidden inside the bittersweet chocolate, lying in wait to surprise you with their spiciness. Then, to make things even more interesting, Mr. Faglon strews the top with crunchy sea salt. This bark is as sweet and juicy as a box of chocolate-covered cherries, but a lot more sophisticated.

10mAbout 3/4 pound of bark (8 servings)

Coconut Whipped Cream

This is the most deluxe dairy-free dessert/beverage topper ever. Its success hinges on the formation of solid cream at the top of the can after refrigeration. You can sweeten it as much as you like -- I find the coconut cream has a natural sweetness to it so I hold back a bit.

Makes a generous cup

Apple Chips

I borrowed the technique for these from Rivka, whose Cocoa Pear Crisps, were an early recipe contest winner. You don't need to add anything to the apples, but I often sprinkle half of them with a little cinnamon to keep things lively. Feel free to experiment with different spices like ginger, allspice, or even cardamom.

1h 15mMakes about 30 chips

Healthy Pumpkin Frosting

Lately I've become slightly obsessed with topping muffins with healthy frosting. I guess a muffin is a cupcake if you add frosting, but I'm still calling them muffins so I can get away with eating them for breakfast. Since the season of all things pumpkin is upon us, I thought it'd be great to have a pumpkin frosting to top some blueberry muffins I made. Here's the link to my post/recipe: http://immaeatthat.com/2013/10/14/classic-blueberry-muffins/

Dark Chocolate Frosting

I've been using this recipe for ages and I can't really say were it came from but I do know that no baker should be without a frosting like this. It's deceptively simple to prepare; the only important part is to bring the sugar and heavy cream to a rising boil. It's thick and fudgey and hard to resist eating right out of the bowl. Let is chill and then come back to room temperature and it goes on like buttah!

Lingonberry-Poached Pears

Similar to the cranberry Americans know so well, lingonberries are an important ingredient in Scandinavian kitchens. Their tart, juicy flavor lends a warming touch to these easy poached pears, and with just a handful of ingredients, this is perfect for a weeknight dessert. (I originally posted this recipe on my Scandinavian food blog, Outside Oslo.)

The Best Chocolate Fudge Frosting

This chocolate frosting is everything you could hope for from a chocolate frosting. It cools to a thick, fudge-like consistency and in our house is used for drizzling on birthday bundt cakes. But it is also wonderful smushed onto a cupcake or covering a big bowl of ice cream and if you need some real chocolate therapy a big scoop of it definitely won't kill you!

Makes 1 bundt cake's worth with about a cup extra for eating purposes!

Simple but unbelievably delicious, refreshing, and addicting. Lime and cream cheese were meant to go together in this rich and creamy frosting recipe.

Candy Coating Frosting

I needed some frosting for some vanilla cupcakes I had made. I did not want to go out to the store for anything, so I used some items I had on hand. The result was a beautiful fluffy frosting, at first. When I put the remaining cupcakes in the refrigerator over night, the frosting turned into a hard shell. THAT was when it had the best taste.

Banana Pudding

This is an old-school banana pudding down to its bed of Nilla wafers, topped with a quilt of meringue, above a pudding that owes some hold to cornstarch. It is not in any way fancy, though the meringue has its moments. The peaks may weep a little, if you let the dessert sit for a while to draw admiring glances from your guests, but no matter. It's fantastic inside, where it counts.

Grilled Bananas with Buttered Maple Sauce and English Almond Toffee

S'mores sch'mores. This is my go to grill dessert. Quick, easy and delightful. I have a friend who gives us a wonderful box of English Almond Toffee each year. I like to crumble it and use it as a topping for lots of desserts.
