This Delightfully Crisp French Pastry Is the Lazy Person's Doughnut

Rich and Gooey Chocolate Banana Pudding
Creamy, chocolatey banana pudding made from scratch—perfect for potlucks, summer parties, or a no-bake treat at home.
Hojicha Tiramisù
A trendy addition to baked goods and desserts, hojicha steps in for espresso in this fun take on tiramisù. Hojicha is a Japanese green tea like matcha, but this roasted tea has a distinct chestnut brown color with a full-bodied nutty, toasty flavor that is akin to coffee and cocoa. Available from Japanese grocery stores, online and popping on more supermarket shelves, hojicha is sold either as tea leaves or as a finely ground powder, which is best for baking and desserts like this one. (If you can only find the tea leaves, simply blend them into a powder.) This simplified tiramisù forgoes eggs, instead opting for a mixture of mascarpone and Greek yogurt, which delivers an airy texture and a tartness that compliments the earthiness of the tea. If you can’t find hojicha, use matcha powder, cocoa or Earl Grey tea. The flavor and texture of this dish will improve overnight, as the ladyfingers soak up the hojicha, making it the perfect make-ahead dessert.
Fresh Mango Pudding
Made with ripe, fragrant mangoes and a touch of milk, this popular Chinese dessert is tropical, light and refreshing. Like a fruity panna cotta, this mango pudding makes use of gelatin — not egg — to create its custardy consistency and signature wiggle. Blended together and then set in ramekins or a large baking dish, this make-ahead dessert is a low-lift stunner, spangled with fresh mango chunks and bathed in silky evaporated milk. Coconut milk can be substituted for the evaporated milk, adding a floral, nutty flavor in place of the subtle, slightly caramel notes of cow’s milk.
Melon-Mint Sorbet
This simple, generous sorbet comes together in a food processor and releases a blast of mint that’s evident in every spoonful. But best of all, it invites any kind of ripe summer melon, even watermelon. The texture is rougher than a true sorbet, somewhere between granita and shave ice. It’s plenty good as is, but to gild the lily, add a bit of raspberry syrup and a few festive berries.
Mango Shortcakes With Lime-Coconut Cream
If mango’s sweetness entices you, you’ll love this shortcake. What better way to complement the soft but sturdy crumb of a great shortcake, rich with salted butter and tender with buttermilk, with chunks of just-ripe mango. The pairing, gently dotted with lime zest and topped with a fluff of toasted coconut whipped cream for nuttiness, is a perfect summer dessert.
Skillet Sprinkle Sugar Cookie
You don’t need any special equipment to make this superfun, supersize sugar cookie; just a bowl, a whisk, a spatula and a skillet. Not only is making one huge cookie instead of two easier than baking several batches, there is something extraspecial about a giant dessert that is meant to be shared. Eat it warm from the pan with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top; or let it cool and slice it up as you would a pie. Swap out the rainbow sprinkles for holiday-themed sprinkles or whatever colors delight you.
Bacon Bourbon Apple Crisp
This bourbon apple crisp is smoky, sweet, and buttery—with bacon in the filling and gingersnaps in the topping. Best served with bourbon whipped cream.

Pistachio Halvah Rice Krispies Treats
What’s better than a pan full of freshly made, just-gooey-enough Rice Krispies treats? A core memory for many, it continues to be a fan favorite, whether a packaged gas station treat or a high-end bakery grab like this one. Perfectly balanced with an additional layer of texture from the pistachio and halvah, this recipe comes from Shilpa and Miro Uskokovic, the supertalented pastry chef duo that opened Hani’s Bakery + Café in New York’s East Village in 2024. Their use of tahini brings a level of sophistication, and offsets the sweet bite this snack can often have. There is not a thing that needs altering in this recipe, yet, in Rice Krispie treat tradition, it encourages a bit of playfulness for the cook to make it their own.

Tanghulu (Candied Fresh Fruit Skewers)
This popular Chinese street food snack turns fresh fruit into a glossy, colorful candied treat. Tanghulu was originally made with hawthorn berries, a fruit popular in traditional Chinese cuisine and medicine. These days, more widely available fruit like strawberries, grapes and tangerines are the stars, skewered and coated in a syrup mixture that sets into a crackly shell. Be sure to dry the cleaned fruit well to help the syrup adhere. A candy thermometer is crucial for this recipe, as the sugar mixture must reach 300 degrees in order to form the hard candy shell (otherwise the coating will turn chewy and sticky). To clean the pot of any remaining caramelized sugar, add some water to the pot, bring it to a simmer and stir until the hardened sugar melts.
Sesame-Coconut Shortbreads
