Dessert Crepes
Essential crepe recipe. Sprinkle warm crepes with sugar and lemon, or serve with cream or ice cream and fruit.
Dobos Torte
The word 'dobos' means 'like a drum' in Hungarian. However, this cake is named after its creator, Hungarian pastry chef Josef Dobos.
Chocolate Liqueur Souffles
I won a gold medal with this recipe at the Armed Forces Culinary Olympics in March of 2007. Serve the souffles with fresh raspberry sauce, if desired.
Dziriat (Algerian Almond Tarts)
This recipe with all its variants is prepared only on special celebrations and weddings. It is a challenge to prepare, but is well worth the time and effort. There exist several varieties of this recipe. Some use molds while others are molded by hand, and some are dipped in syrup and others are not. The dough recipe may include butter instead of vegetable oil and sometimes egg is omitted. The goal is a non flaky, thin, and firm crust.
Eclairs II
My family loves these eclairs and request them all the time. I usually make them as dessert whenever we have company coming, they are always a hit!
Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse
This is a light and fluffy mousse with a wonderful raspberry sauce. Great layered like a parfait then frozen. Additional Raspberry sauce can be spooned over cakes or served with mousse.
Flambeed Vanilla-Poached Pears with Apricot Sauce
This is a great dessert for a fancy party or a girl's night in! I love pears, and I love this recipe, because lighting the rum on fire caramelizes the sugar, and pulls out the flavor of the pears. I served this dish to a rich couple and got a hefty tip back, so I figured it must have been good!
Classic Cherries Jubilee
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!
Bananas Foster
Elegant and quick dessert of sweet bananas cooked in a buttery rum sauce.
Creme Brulee
The crisp, caramelized sugar crust is the best part of this creamy custard.
Real Sopapillas
Crispy Mexican flatbread sopapillas, deep-fried and golden brown.
Lemon Meringue Cheesecake
Love lemon meringue pie and cheesecake? Well this is the best of both worlds. Great any time of year and sure to impress your guests.
