Brandy Almond Cake

This cake is great for wedding cakes or birthdays.

By CaRoLiNaRiOs

This is a great, refreshing dessert, especially after a hearty meal. This does have to be prepared immediately before serving, but does not take a lot of time. Your guests will enjoy the blue flames when the brandy is ignited!

Brandied Fruit Topping

Delicious brandied fruit topping to serve over ice cream. Has a long keeping time if refrigerated, for months. Recipe units are very flexible depending on which fruit you like the best!

White Chocolate Cheesecake with White Chocolate Brandy Sauce

213

This is a dense cheesecake that is very smooth and melts in your mouth. The white chocolate brandy sauce tops it off. I just nap it over the center of the slice of cheesecake on the plate. I garnish it with mint leaves and either raspberries or strawberries.

Dolce Pesca (Sweet Peaches)

Peaches are stuffed with a fig and pine nut mixture, soaked in wine, and topped with brandy before baking. I learned this amazing recipe from an Italian woman while in Italy and I never forgot it. It's easy, healthy, and so good.

Try this substitute for mascarpone in this recipe: 16 ounces of cream cheese combined with 1/2 cup heavy cream and 5 tablespoons sour cream.

Zesty Lemon Loaf

This dressed-up pound cake-style lemon loaf has a delicate hint of ginger. The decadence of Grand Marnier makes this lemon loaf special. Great with Earl Grey tea or ice wine.

I make a basic chocolate chip cookie dough, but use white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and brandy (instead of vanilla). Great for Christmas time!

Black Forest Cake II

Wonderful chocolate layer cake which is soaked in Kirsch liqueur, with cherry filling.

Liquor-Infused Chocolate Strawberries

Absolutely delectable and rich! Strawberries are injected with orange brandy, and dipped in rich dark chocolate. You don't have to put the white stripes on, but it gives a very professional look. Once you make these they won't last long! Takes a little time but its worth it!

Friendship Fruit Starter

This is really two recipes in one - 6 cups of brandied fruit, and 2 cups of starter for the Thirty Day Friendship Cake.

Nipples of Venus (Capezzoli di Venere)

I first learned of these confections through the famous scene of the same name in the movie Amadeus. Fast forward 30-plus years later, and inspired by a viewer's request, I finally learned that these were in fact real, and very delicious, thanks in part to the star of the show, chestnuts. Serve these as a sexy snack during a Valentine's viewing of the corresponding film.

Jenny's Black Forest Cake

This recipe is from a friend of my mother's. She used it for catering and has won the hearts of most who've tasted it. I've had to share this recipe with everyone who's been to one of my parties. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Biscochitos Traditional Cookies

This is New Mexico's traditional cookie. A great thick sugar cookie that is dusted with cinnamon-sugar. The traditional shape is fleur-de-lis, but use your favorite cookie cutters if you like.

Authentic Tiramisu

On my first trip to Italy to meet my husband's family back in 1995, I didn't speak a word of Italian. But I did learn how to make great 'dolci' from his sister, Maria. This was her recipe and now when we go back they ask me to make it!

Fruitcake

This is my 90-year-old grandmother's recipe. Very simple.

By Roxy

Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert. Ladyfinger cookies are dipped in coffee, then layered with mascarpone (a rich Italian cream cheese) and dusted with cocoa powder. It might become your new favorite dessert!

By SALLYCOOKS

Blue Ribbon Mincemeat Pie Filling

An old-time delicious mincemeat pie filling. I have frozen this filling in zip-lock baggies, since I don't use a pressure canner. Apple cider can be used in place of brandy if preferred.

By Cali

Martha Washington's Cake

This is a long procedure, but well worth the trouble. A great cake. Makes about 11 pounds.

English Christmas Cake

This English Christmas cake is lovely in texture and taste. It just has one difference -- no chopped mixed peel.

By SCOTT LEANING

Brandy or Rum Balls

This is an excellent dessert to bring for the Holidays. You can use either Brandy or Rum. These do need some time to set up so it is best to make them the night before. If you don't care for walnuts, the balls can be rolled in confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder.
