White Chocolate Holiday Bark
I now make chocolate bark the Ina Garten way - by melting the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments. It's easy and makes the job seem effortless. This is a great recipe to make with kids. They can participate in every step of the process. I stuck to a red and green theme for this batch, with a few recommendations for other healthy red/green toppings. As the holidays approach, I am looking for easy treats to assemble and this bark fits the bill! This is great to serve along with some ice cream or fruit. And it makes a great food gift.

Best Cream Cheese Cookies
This cream cheese cookie recipe is chewy in the center, where the texture is kind of like a coconut macaroon, with buttery, burnished edges.
Belle Foley's Chocolate Cake Chocolate Frosting
I can't begin to summarize the story of this Chocolate Cake Frosting recipe and how I came by it. The secret is cooking it to achieve the perfect consistency.
Baked Pear in Lavender Syrup
Honestly, this recipe was a spur of the moment solution for the need of a sweet ending to a fall dinner. If I had the usual neccessities in my fridge/freezer, i would have certainly served this over vanilla ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream; however, all I had since I was running around all weekend was a glorious, local chèvre, freshly picked barlett pears, and lavender sugar. I decided to put two and two together and low and behold, I was far from disappointed. This not only satisfied my sweet tooth, it introduced a whole new way to appreciate a pear. I loved the sweet, herbal infusion from the lavender with the subtle zing from the goat cheese. Nonetheless, this could easily be dressed up or down, in a myriad of ways, depending on your patience and/or what's in your icebox. Enjoy :)
Grilled Peaches With Dukkah and Blueberries
Dukkah? It’s an Egyptian blend of nuts, seeds and spices, which you can either buy or make yourself. Combine it with a grilled ripe peach for a superlative summer experience, especially with freshly whipped cream and a scattering of blueberries. Simply dab the cut fruit with some olive oil and place on a hot grill until lightly toasted and soft. The result is reminiscent of peach pie without the crust, warm and yielding, with just a hint of char.
Peach Pie Dumpling
There is nothing complicated about this little dumpling. Puff pastry lining a muffin cup, one cut up peach per cup, sugar, corn starch and maybe a spoonful of homemade blueberry preserves before wrapping it up. It is pure peach, when you you take a bit. I usually make 6 at a time, but they are gone almost instantly.
IRISH BUTTER SHORTBREADS WITH LEMON ZEST
I have fond memories of these melt-in-your-mouth Irish butter shortbreads. These cookies literally melt in your mouth with lemon zest and melty Irish butter.
Ice Cream Sundaes With Maple Butter Rum Sauce and Walnuts
A delectable concoction of maple syrup, butter, rum and walnuts takes an everyday ice cream sundae to a whole new level. Let the syrup cool a bit before assembling the sundaes, or you’ll end up with a soupy mess. But who’s to say that’s a bad thing?
Creamy Cashew Marzipan
I was inspired to make this marzipan after discovering a recipe for a peanut-based on in Fany Gerson's "My Sweet Mexico." She said you could substitute pecans, pistachios or almonds, but, in honor of my grandfather, whose favorite nut is the cashew, I went for cashews instead. This was simple and fun to make, as well as a real time-saver. I made it for a party and it seemed to be a hit; the fun shapes--from dachshunds to hearts--probably didn't hurt.
Chocolate Stout Sorbet
Stout and chocolate have so very much in common. For starters, I love them both dearly. They are thick, smooth, creamy, nutty and, if you're dealing with the good stuff, bittersweet. When combined they make an intensely deep and rich flavor. If you use homemade chocolate syrup, this dessert is not very sweet. Top with sweetened condensed milk for a nice contrast of flavors.
Frozen Nutty Chocolate Bananas on a Stick
A light, made-for-summer take on fair food, reminiscent of the flavors that can be found amongst the Looff Carnival confection stands on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz.
Deep Fried Oreos
We ate this fried oreo recipe at the Montana Drive-In in Estill Springs for the first time last week. I swear I would just about leave my husband for these.
Brown Butter Nectarine Cobbler/Cake
This dessert comes from a subset of cobbler recipes with cakelike leanings. It’s blissfully easy. Melt some butter in a skillet (cast iron, if you have it), mix together a pancake-type batter in a bowl, toss with fruit and bake. Raw fruit in this recipe bakes up juicy with a firm yet yielding bite that is not at all mushy. (Keeping the skins helps that.)
Blueberry Grappa Sauce
This Blueberry Grappa recipe is great because it's not too sweet, isn't pureed, and it finishes with the sting of grappa. Serve with cake, ice cream, or yogurt.
Cherry Cobbler With Almond-Buttermilk Topping
The topping for this almond-scented cobbler is a buttermilk biscuit batter made with a mixture of flours. Cornmeal contributes texture, and whole-wheat and almond flours add nuttiness. For a gluten-free version, substitute almond meal or rice flour for the whole-wheat flour.
White Chocolate Pudding Cocktail
The combination of ingredients in this White Chocolate Cocktail recipe needs to be jaw-dropping delicious to make for the perfect cocktail for the summer months.
Watermelon Slush
I came up with this when trying to dispense of a whole watermelon that was consuming way too much real estate. It's so easy I'm not sure you can even call it a recipe but it's refreshing, it tastes like summer and it gets the job done. - Summer of Eggplant
Lemon Thyme Limoncello
Inspired to create a sorbet by Abby Dodge, I chose to make three cocktail sorbets with the addition of a fresh herb.The Lemon Thyme Limoncello was my favorite!
Kir Royale Jello Shots
This is what happens when an Italian guy goes to a frat party in Paris. Maybe. Or something like that. - aargersi
Café Glacee (a.k.a. Chocolate Black Russian).
This Sheridan's coffee liqueur recipe is delicious! I like the combination of coffee and chocolate with orange that is why I use Grand Marnier liqueur.
Summer Fruit Fool
Light and summery, this dessert is perfect for hot days. It is so easy my four-year old made most of it - that is why it is decorated with Cadbury's chocolate buttons.
Raspberry Riesling Sherbet
This perfect summer treat needs just 5 ingredients: fruit, milk, buttermilk, sugar, and riesling. The result? A perfectly balanced, sweet dessert.
Raspberry Frozen Yogurt
I grow raspberries in my garden. Although I always have a good crop, not all the raspberries are picture-perfect. For this frozen yogurt, looks don't matter, as the as the raspberries are cooked and strained. In the winter, I make the coulis from frozen raspberries. It is my favorite recipe to capture the wonderful flavor of raspberries, and a very simple one at that.
