Ice cream with coffee and cherry brandy
If you like boozy affogato, you will love this. Is it a drink or a dessert? You decide.
Sweets
Lemon cheese bars
A more indulgent version of traditional lemon bars (or squares), a pastry that consists of lemon curd baked over a shortbread crust. Mascarpone is added to the curd in this recipe to make the lemon bars creamy and richer.
Food for the gods
Food for the gods is best described as butterscotch (or blondies) squares or bars baked with Medjool dates and walnuts. The pastry hails from the Philippines where it traditionally makes an appearance during the Christmas season.
Cheesecake brownies
Two of my favorite desserts, combined. Sweet-salty cheesecake swirled between layers of fudge-y brownie baked with dark chocolate. You really don’t need a special occasion to enjoy these delectable cheesecake brownies.
Chinese egg cakes
Sponge-y and light with a whiff of lemon, these small cakes are lovely with tea. They are so easy to make because there is no need to separate the egg yolks from the whites.
