      No-Knead Big Bubble Focaccia

      I was very excited to try this high-hydration focaccia, which simply means the dough has a lot of water. In fact, this has the highest amount of water used than any other Food Wishes dough.

Low-Fat Pumpkin Flan

"This delicious pumpkin flan is the result of an experiment in replacing the recipe's usual cream and half-and-half with low-fat milk," says recipe creator Chef John. Since it needs to cool in the fridge for at least four hours, you can easily make it the day before and just stash it away. Reviewer cocakay says, "This recipe is easy and makes delicious flan. I have added pumpkin whipped cream plus a ginger cookie!"

This elegant looking dessert takes a few shortcuts, such as using graham crackers instead of baked puff pastry for the layers and vanilla pudding instead of pastry cream for the filling, but reviewers have awarded it a solid 5-star rating. "This recipe is definitely a 'keeper.' My husband who usually doesn't eat many sweets couldn't get enough of this cake! He kept going back for more! The kids also loved it and they are picky eaters," says 1BUSYMNTX.

Guess what? You can make this creamy rich fudge in your microwave. For another layer of flavor, pan-toast the walnuts and let them cool before adding them to the mix. House of Aqua declares, "Seriously, this stuff is amazing! I got the idea from another who made this recipe to use some candy cup papers and I used a small cookie scoop to measure fudge into each cup. The papers peel off easily and you have perfect looking and even tastier fudge!"

Chocolate-coated crispy rice cereal forms the crust for this no-bake cheesecake. Even though it's quite rich, you'll be surprised by how quick and easy the whole thing is to prep. JIXJAX recommends taking it out of the freezer at least 15 minutes before serving to make it easier to slice through the chocolate.
