Watermelon Panna Cotta
When I was in France for 2 weeks in April of 2013, it seemed that almost every dessert that was served at the formal dinners I attended, were different variations of panna cotta. If you are not familiar with this traditionally Italian, gelatin based dessert, then let me tell you that it is exquisitely delicious…

Almost Paleo Sticky Rice Pudding
The cold weather has each of us yearning for comfort foods, and one of the most classic desserts of all, is something many of us grew up eating. In our family, rice pudding was not a dessert we ever planned to make. It was one of those items that we made when there was leftover…

Raising The Bar On Banana Cream Pie
I love to create versatile dessert recipes that can be put together quickly for the family or slightly tweaked to follow a more elegant meal. One that fits resoundingly well in this category is something you may not have considered – banana cream pie. You may be more familiar with this type of dessert in…

Cuban Flan: A Twist On The Traditional At Our Thanksgiving Table
Preparing for this year’s Thanksgiving celebration was hectic, but thankfully it went off without a hitch. This year we cooked a fabulous meal at home and spent time with family members who are very special to us. One in particular is not doing very well, and the reality of not having her with us next…

A Farewell To Summer Berries With A Raspberry Miroir Mousse Cake
August is a bittersweet month for me. Store shelves begin to thin out with a more limited selection of fresh fruit, and I especially see less of the beautiful berries we enjoyed all summer. I had a stash of raspberries saved up and wanted to use them to make a mousse cake with something called…

No Bake Summer Berry Pudding
I’m sure you’ve seen recipes for this type of no bake puddings before. I remember Martha Stewart making it years ago, and since then many others have reproduced the dessert without any changes in the process. Basically, this no bake berry pudding includes plain white (or wheat) bread, your choice of berries along with a…

Annin Do Fu Almond Pudding, Both Low Carb & Paleo
I’m not quite sure how I came across this dessert…I think I was looking up something with almond milk and came across this Asian delicacy that is served in many restaurants. I’ve never come across it personally in any restaurant that I frequent, so I was really curious from the start. I’m a huge fan…

Leche Frita Egg Rolls
I really love custard and pudding-type desserts – I don’t have a preference on whether it’s baked or made on the stove top, I grew up eating them and simply love them all… They make such great desserts, and if you use the right ingredients and make it correctly, you will have something that is…

Pudim de Pão
Everyone loves a great bread pudding, but I bet you’ve never had a bread pudding quite like this one before. This delicious bread pudding has a lighter and more uniform texture than the traditional bread puddings, and once you taste it, you’ll agree that it’s more like a cross between a bread pudding and a…

Double Chocolate Mug Cake
I happened to be lining up desserts for Valentine’s Day and I happened to come across a dessert called a Mug Cake. I remember seeing a pre-packaged version of this delicious dessert from a great little company at the Fancy Food Show in Washington DC last year, but it’s so very easy to make, why…

Chocolate Pumpkin Butterscotch Pie: A Twist On The Traditional
For most of us, traditions offer a certain level of comfort and evoke memories of times past with family or friends that may no longer be with us. It’s like those comfy slippers that you’ve been resurrecting for the past 10 years or those blue jeans that you still have since your high school days…the…
