Blueberry Bars

The shortbread-like crust comes together quickly in a food processor and the filling is just a matter of stirring together the ingredients. While these blueberry bars may not exactly be health food, you can at least give yourself a little credit for eating this antioxidant rich berry, right?
Chocolate Profiteroles with Raspberry Sorbet
Profiteroles are miniature cream puffs made from a thick, sticky dough called pâte à choux [paht ah SHOO]. When baked, the dough steams and forms a hollow shell — perfect for holding a filling, like sorbet. Made with chocolate, these gems become a dramatic dessert to serve at a dinner party.
Dark Chocolate Molten Cakes
You might know these chocolate cakes as chocolate lava cakes or warm chocolate cakes, but regardless of their name, these seemingly modest cakes are big in flavor. Their big ta-da is that when you sink your spoon in, you’ll find molten, fudge-like centers.
Almond Linzer Cookies
Thought to be one of the oldest tart varieties, the Austrian linzertorte is known for its crumbly pastry flavored with cinnamon, lemon zest, and nuts, and for its bright jam filling.
