Desserts
Bistro Menil’s Double Chocolate Brownies
When baking something with nuts in it, you want to toast the nuts before adding to the batter. All of the other ingredients insulate the nuts in the oven, so they don’t develop that crispy, toasty exterior. Trust us – it makes a difference. […]

Cherry Turnovers
Super Easy Cherry Turnovers are one of the easiest desserts to make and the fastest to disappear!
Strawberry–Black Pepper Syrup
Preserve peak season strawberries by making this aromatic, crimson syrup. The basil adds a lovely herbal note and the slight bitterness of the peppercorns cuts through the sweetness of the syrup.
Pistachio Cake
“Pistachio is an underrated dessert flavor. Is it because of the green? Or because it’s a nut? More people should give pistachio a chance. Pistachios pair wonderfully with almond and vanilla flavors, not to mention butter and sugar.”
Fresh Cherry Cake with Chocolate Ganache
Strawberry-Almond Cornmeal Cake
“Equal parts fruit crumble and coffee cake, this not-too-sweet dessert starts out bright pink but bakes to a toasty golden brown.”
Peaches & Cream Prosecco Cake
“A dense sponge cake is ideal to soak up plenty of the Prosecco’s boozy goodness.”
Vanilla Sponge Cake with Strawberry-Meringue Buttercream
“Tall and light-as-air, this three-layer chiffon cake is a strawberry lover’s delight. There are three pounds of berries sandwiched between its layers, mixed into the ethereal whipped frosting, and in a sugar-dusted pile on top.”
Blueberry Lavender Ice Pops
These lovely floral ice pops are exactly what I will be making to savor the end of summer. Late summer blueberries are plump and sweet and go so nicely with the delicate flavor of the honey. In a pinch (or if you’re craving a bit of summer this winter), you can substitute frozen berries.
Berry and Thyme Cobbler
Apricot, Cherry, and Almond Galette
“Apricots and cherries are two stone fruits that have great affinity for each other and for almonds. Even less than perfect apricots will do here, as they will sweeten and their flavor will deepen as they bake.”
Whole-Grain Strawberry-Cherry Crisp
“This golden crisp topping is chock-full of oats. Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, if desired.”
