- Chili Ice Cream with Ancho Peach Topping
Anchos are smoky and hot, but the sweetest of Mexico’s chilies, and the dried version of fresh poblanos. We call for the powdered ancho to season as you would with salt and pepper.
» Printer-friendly version - Chocolate Chip Apple Bread
Applesauce is a healthier substitute for butter in most recipes. Usually you can change 1 cup butter (2 sticks) to 1 cup applesauce.

A light hint of ginger and smooth chocolate are only part of the reason this elegant dessert is loved by all who taste it.
» Printer-friendly version - Green Chocolate-Chip Bread
Here’s a change from Irish soda bread for the holiday. This loaf is not too sweet, so you can even serve it along with the meal, if not as a dessert. - Hazelnut Roulade with Coffee Crema
To make the cake even when it is turned out of the pan, we use a jellyroll pan coated with DuPont™ Teflon® non-stick and add a little butter and flour to it to ensure a very even bottom. - Italian Fig and Hazelnut Cookies
Figs grow abundantly in Sicily, where these cookies originated. They are fun to create and really impress your guests. - Maple Gingerbread Cake with Spiced Pear Sauce
To make this recipe, refer to our recipe for Basic Gingerbread. This sauce is equally delicious over pancakes, waffles, crepes, fruit, or ice cream. - Mascarpone Whoopie Cakes
Springy and creamy, these cakes are melt-in-the-mouth awesome. - Molten Chocolate Cakes in Yogurt Sauce
This is a unique dessert that offers your dinner a gourmet touch with little effort. - Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Pie
A twist on the holiday’s favorite pie, this pumpkin dessert gets a boost of flavor from chocolate.
» Printer-friendly version - Quick Strawberry Free-Form Crumb Tart
This dessert features fresh strawberries. We added the healthy oats to bind the topping rather than calling for more flour. - Ricotta Easter Pie
We took the traditional Italian holiday dessert and brought the health benefits up a notch by adding blueberries. We also think the pie tastes better and looks more inviting.

For a fun dessert with an adult twist, try this recipe that plays upon the traditional ingredients of s’mores. We use chips. And in place of marshmallows, we opt for Mascarpone, the thick Italian creamy cheese. - Spiced Applesauce Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This could be your new family-favorite dessert!
» Printer-friendly version - Sweet Basil Cookies
Served with a warm or cool cup of green tea infused with mint, these cookies are a delicious afternoon respite in the garden or at the beach. - The Darkest, Healthiest-Ever Chocolate Pudding
Healthiest because of the secret ingredient: the avocado, which makes the pudding creamy without the cream! And sweet without the sugar! Plus, there is no corn starch or other powdery stabilizer or boosters. Yet it may be the richest chocolate you have ever had. You have to garnish with a thin slice of avocado or they won’t believe you!
» Printer-friendly version - Toasted Pecan and Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwiches
Assembling your own ice cream sandwiches, you can be creative. Here, we use thin-cut brownies, enhanced by toasted pecans to hold in the ice cream. - Peaches with Goat Cheese and Toasted Cashew Nuts
These peaches brighten any table, and cashews are a favorite nut in Chinese cuisine.
