Desserts

Apricot Tea Cookies

It just wouldn't be Christmas without these dainty melt-in-your-mouth apricot cookies on my platter! Filled with fruit and drizzled with frosty glaze, they couldn't be more delectable.

Desserts

Pumpkin mousse will get firmer if you chill before serving, but if you don’t have time, that’s OK. The cream cheese and whipped topping combine with the pudding to give the mousse a stable texture right away.

Desserts

Old-Fashioned Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese frosting can become runny if overmixed. Once the confectioners’ sugar and milk have been incorporated, stop whipping. If needed, to thicken your frosting, put the bowl in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to let the butter and cream cheese firm up.

Desserts

Pear Crumble

To test the ripeness of most pear varieties, gently press the pear near the stem. The pear is ripe and ready to eat if it is slightly soft. One exception is the Asian pear—it will still be firm to the touch but gives off a sweet, aromatic aroma.

Desserts

Blueberry Rhubarb Crumble

If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

Desserts

Cranberry Christmas Cake

If you’d like to give this away as gifts or serve it differently, try two 9-inch round cake pans or a muffin pan with liners (the batter will make about two dozen muffins). You’ll need to adjust the cooking time for smaller dishes, so start checking for doneness at 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.

Desserts

Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Balls

Adding a teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil can thin the melted chocolate and make it smoother and shinier, which is ideal for dipping. Add the oil to the chocolate chips before melting them, and stir them well once they’ve melted. Melted chocolate will thicken as it cools, so try to dip the peanut butter balls quickly. If you find the chocolate is getting too thick to work with, just pop the bowl back in the microwave, reheat the chocolate for 10 seconds and stir again.

Desserts

Pistachio Pudding Dessert

You most definitely can. Full-fat coconut milk will bring a mildly sweet and slightly fruity flavor and give the pudding an extra thick, velvety texture. The ratio of coconut milk to regular milk may vary in terms of making the pudding. Start with a little less than what the package calls for and add as you go.
