Fresh Picked Cherries with Limoncello

Chocolate-Coconut (Choconut!) Mousse
I created this vegan delight while making David Lebovitz's Chocolate-Coconut Sherbet (from Ready for Dessert). When removing the chilled sherbet batter from the fridge, I noticed it had slightly solidified and the texture was quite silky. I figured the addition of coconut oil would help solidify it even more, and using only coconut cream would be the key to perfect silkiness. My guesses were correct, and voila, Choconut Mousse!
David Lebovitz's Chocolate Sorbet

Simple Summer Berries and Stone Fruit for Dessert
What good fortune to find ourselves in the midst of the summer fruit season, when the Farmer’s Markets carry loads of field-ripened berries and stone fruit. I want to serve it in its purest form, uncooked, room temperature, perfumed and juicy.
Mango Mock Mousse
A fast track fresh dessert from the tropics.
Frozen Mango Ice Cream Mousse
This is sort of a cross between an ice cream and a mousse. It was given to me by my best friend's mom, and every time I go to her house, we eat it by the bucketful (seriously). The passion fruit puree is added because it balances out the flavors, adding a subtle tartness. Depending on the sweetness of your mangoes, you can add more or less, to suit your tastes. Passion fruit puree can be found in some larger grocery stores, or you can find it on Amazon. To make this more like an ice cream, puree everything but the cream and then stir it all together. To make it just a mango mousse, whip the cream separately, fold in the mango-passion fruit puree and chill.

Maple Baked Acorn Squash "Milkshake"
This is my favorite (although not the healthiest) way to prepare acorn squash. Normally, I'd puree it in a soup (with earthy fall flavors like bacon, chipotle, cumin, or roasted garlic) but for this recipe I decided to highlight the maple flavor, turning the puree into a milkshake. Coconut milk adds richness, vanilla rounds out the flavors and signals "dessert".

truffle-esque: date and espresso truffles
in the world of confectionary truffles are cherry sized balls of soft chocolate paste. sometimes they are encased in a shell of harder chocolate or dusted in a bittersweet cacao. my date and espresso truffles only partly fit this description as they aren’t crafted from soft chocolate paste. they are made from a paste of dried fruit and nuts (dates and almonds) hydrated in espresso and kahlúa. i rolled the paste into cherry sized balls and then dusted them with an extra fine and dark cocoa courtesy of la maison du chocolat.
Tartine Bakery's Lemon Cream
This lemon cream recipe takes the traditional lemon curd process and reverses it, not only saving time, but producing something better, smoother, and lighter.

Spice Quintet Hot Chocolate
So, this recipe is pretty genius, and probaly the best homemade (or store bought), hot chocolate you'll ever drink.The best thing about it (besides the amount of real chocolate) is, that the recipe is not for one serving only. It makes a whole batch. Depending on how big your chcolate craving and cups are, you'll get 6-10 servings out of the recipe. You just take a tablespoon full and stir it into hot milk. Done! It keeps in the fridge for up to a week. With only two main ingredients it's super easy and you can substitute the spices with your favorite ones. Although this spice quintet really sets the tone.

Strawberry Leftover Panettone Milkshake
There's panettone everywhere. Even after the holidays, I still can't manage to keep bread at bay (ominous music plays) Moving on! So, we make do with what we've got, right? Kind of. But yes, stores are still stocked with 'price reduced' panettone loaves. During one of my endless yet glorious grocery escapades I happened upon a pristinely wrapped Pandoro Milano - seemingly, unshaken by the frantic rush of the holidays. It was G. Cova...I look for the price, thirteen dollars. Thirteen Dollars! Are you kidding me? Where was that price tag when I needed it most? Apparently, this panettone is one of Martha Stewart's favorites for making french toast. Enough mind babbling, I'm sure Martha Stewart has fine taste. I say, "You're coming with me." and throw her in my basket. I can't even pick at her on my way home - she's wrapped in beautiful Italian-esque wrapping paper and twine. I speed. Home! I carefully unwrap my loaf as so not to disturb the paper too much and reveal a humble, sophisticated mountain-shaped confection. I slice the top and marvel over the cute star shape in front of me and slowly raise it up to my mouth...divine melt. I see why this panettone is so illustrious. That kind of comfort in your belly is matched by no other (I'll eat those words later) Mom greets me in the kitchen, mouth full, crumbs and all on my face I say, with wide eyes, "You know what would be good with this? Strawberries. Holy Cow, eff that!" I reach for my VitaMix, "I'll show you."
Simplest Strawberry Frozen Greek Yogurt - no machine needed
This is a quick and creamy frozen yogurt is based on Greek (or other) yogurt with no ice cream maker needed. I got the idea from Good Housekeeping but I doubled the yogurt to make it more luscious and creamy. Still very low on the calories. (Just use 1/2 the yogurt if you want to revert to the 70 calories per serving original.) It is meant to be eaten right away before it is completely hard. But if you save some leftover, just let it sit on the counter to soften before serving.
Fragrant Kumquat Marmalade
Adapted from the recipe for Kumquat Marmalade in Alice Waters' book Chez Panisse Fruit, I used my favorite white wine as the cooking liquid. It smells amazing.
