Dessert

Don’t feel hemmed in by the phrase “dessert”-- these are sweet things that can be served any time you want. After dinner, “mid-day snack,” and occasionally, breakfast.

Perfect Pancakes, Perfect Waffles

These first pancakes will not be gorgeous and they will not be right. They might be burned or undercooked, or sometimes both.

Festive Yellow Sheet Cake

To me, this classic yellow cake, impossibly golden from eggs, buttermilk, and light brown sugar, will always and forever be my favorite.

Tangy Chocolate Frosting

It comes together effortlessly and tastes the same every single time.

Crunchy Chocolate Sauce

50/50 chocolate to coconut oil really is the best proportion for pourability and crunchiness.

Caramelized Vanilla Custard Tart

A flaky crust filled with pastry cream, and baked till blackened. It’s almost like a sweet quiche.

Sugar Plum Galette with Halva

The halva here is subtle, but adds a welcomed nutty flavor and tender texture on top of the flaky crust.

Sour Cherry Crumble Pie

If you find fresh sour cherries hard to come by, frozen can be found on the internet.

Toasted Oat and Honey Cobbler

As for this particular cobbler, I want you to read the recipe and then feel empowered to ignore it completely.

50/50 (Tangy Whipped Cream)

Eat with: every dessert under the sun.

Hard-Roasted Pears

I like to serve these at the end of a very long, robust meal, after the plates have been cleared and it’s not clear if there’s even room for dessert at all.
