Desserts recipes

Cakes, pies, cookies, cheesecakes and no-bake sweets for everyday treats, holiday tables and last-minute gatherings. Pumpkin runs through a good part of the collection, with spiced pies, cupcakes, oatmeal cookies, blondies and a silky pumpkin ice cream. Lemon ricotta cake, hazelnut espresso cake, mocha eclairs and a chocolate Swiss roll cover the bakery side.

For hot days or a busy evening, choose a no-bake pumpkin cheesecake, vegan pumpkin pudding or a chilled grape salad. Gooey pizookie and dump cake suit casual nights, while tarts, tiramisu and layered cheesecakes make better centerpieces. Check the total time before you start, since chilling and cooling can take longer than the baking.
