Ricotta Cheesecake Tart with Hazelnut-Oatmeal Crust
This is one cheesecake you don’t want to pass up. A delicately-flavored ricotta cheese filling baked in a crisp hazelnut crumb crust, and topped with fig jam, make this dessert divine.
Cheesecake is known for its rich, creamy filling, and this one is all that and a whole lot more. Instead of indulging in one of those over-sized options, this one strikes the perfect balance of cheesecake-to-crust ratio, so it has more of a lady-like sensibility.

Sweet Potato Flan with Orange-Rum Caramel
Sweet potato adds a unique and delicate flavor to a classic Spanish dessert. Not too heavy or too sweet, these baked silky-smooth custards are the perfect ending to a hearty meal. Sweet potato flavor really shines through in this rich and creamy flan with the help of bay leaves and a sweet orange-rum caramel. Prepare them a night or two in advance so the custard has time to set up.
Hazelnut-Brown Butter Linzer Cookies
'Tis the season for Christmas cookies and these linzer cookies are extra-special — both in their look and taste. Here we opted for a bit of brown butter for nuttiness, swapped in hazelnuts for traditional almonds, and red currant jelly in lieu of the usual raspberry.
Pfeffernüsse
Named for black pepper, which gives Pfeffernusse [FEHF-fuhr-noos] a little bite, these petite spiced cookies make one heck of a yuletide treat. One of the best things about these classic German cookies is they get better with age, making them the perfect make-ahead Christmas cookie. Their flavor intensifies and they stay moist and chewy, so they're ideal for shipping.
Rosemary & Orange Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread cookies are a classic Christmas treat — and quite nostalgic for some. Subbing some cornstarch for flour makes for tender treats, and adding a little citrus and rosemary, along with a light sprinkle of sparkling sugar, helps make these festive. These sweet biscuits will be especially popular with Santa.

Classic Pecan Pie
This familiar dessert of toasted pecans, sweet gooey filling, and flaky crust gets a mini makeover while remaining true to its roots.
To start, use both butter and shortening in the crust for classic flavor and an ultra-tender crumb. A few tablespoons of bourbon creates a foolproof, flaky texture and enhances the toasted pecan flavor.
Swap the often-used, overly sweet, corn syrup with a combination of brown sugar, pure maple syrup, and molasses, to create a deeper, more nuance…

The neat thing about this frosted Chex mix is it transforms a breakfast staple into to-die-for dessert. You can also serve this as a sweet after-school snack or afternoon pick-me-up — kids love it!
Apple & Cranberry Cobbler
This Apple & Cranberry Cobbler takes full advantage of fall's bounty of fruit. Tart cranberries and sweet apples form the layer of juicy fruit, but it’s the topping that seals the deal — sweet, buttery, crispy, and nothing short of satisfying.
