Easy Tiramisu Snowball Cookies
Holiday cookies and Tiramisu (in my home) were a tradition all my life. So this year I thought I’d combine the two and make my version of Bon Appetit’s Tiramisu Snowball cookies. This is a great follow up to my Baklava Cookies which also take a beloved dessert recipe and transforms them into cookies –…

Honey, I’m Nuts for Baklava Cookies
Have you ever heard of a cookie swap? I’m not sure how it works because I’ve never been invited to join one nor do I know anyone who has. Rather than look it up, I like to imagine that every member of this swap brings their cookies and they exchange them with one another in…

Fall in love with every bite – Apple Cider Whoopie Pies
It’s officially apple season, which is, according to me, the best time of year. Apple desserts are so complete. When I think of my favourite ones, I think – Tart, sweet, flakey, warm, comforting! Basically, they’re everything. This recipe uses apple a little differently. The flavour and essence of them are baked into this soft…

Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Cream Cake with Pretzel Crust
Layers of creamy vanilla bean and strawberry ice creams with a light-as-air angel food cake center and cookie/pretzel crust. Sounds great doesn’t it? It is! I served it to some friends the other day and they loved it! My husband who at first refused the cake said, “I’m not a strawberry ice cream person”, and…

Sicilian Citrus Olive Oil Cake
This is the only olive oil cake recipe you will need! It’s bright with citrus flavour, with just the right amount of sweetness and will stay fresh for days! In fact, most often, if the balance is just right, an olive oil cake will taste even better the following day and the day after that;…

Chocolate Chip Tahini Shortbread Cookies
Hold. the. phone. I know I have a lot of great chocolate cookie recipes on this site but these have definitely achieved legendary status. The Tahini makes all the difference here in terms of texture making them delicate and buttery. It’s delicious too, subtly nutty (like me), not overpowering by any means and it ties…

DECADENT CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉ CAKE
We’ve got your holiday dessert needs covered! This deliciously decadent chocolate soufflé cake is light with an intensely chocolatey gooey center. Plus, it’s easy to make! There’s only 1 tablespoon of flour, which can be omitted completely if you like or substitute with a gluten-free option. I add about 3 tablespoons of freshly brewed espresso…

Stephanie’s Tiramisu
Tiramisu, a classic Italian dessert, is light, creamy and coffee flavoured, what’s not to love especially for a coffee addict such as myself. So many variations of Tiramisu exist but this one has got to be my favourite as it’s made with a delicious zabaglione/mascarpone mixture folded into whipped cream. The resulting cream is delicious…

Vanilla Ginger Pear Crostata
This pear crostata, pie, galette, or whatever you want to call it, is just so incredibly delicious and couldn’t be more perfect for fall. If you love apple pie, then you will undoubtedly love this. Pears are to me, earthy and sweet and go naturally well with vanilla. The ginger and lemon serve to provide…

Lemon Ciambella
Hello everyone! It’s been a journey to make an authentic Ciambella. After scouring the internet and watching countless Italian recipe Youtubers, I finally got the right recipe to share with you all. Ciambella is the perfect coffee or snack cake, it’s not overly sweet or too soft where you would need a plate and fork…

Sicilian Blood Orange Tea Cake
Hey there! This cake initially caught my eye because of its pretty pink frosting with those lovely, glossy blood orange slices on top and of course, the originality of it. You can always find recipes for lemon cakes or lemon loaves but never blood orange – the rare beauty. I found this where you can find all of…

Banana Bread with Pecans and Chocolate Chips
Hello there, This recipe is a favorite of mine and I make it whenever the occasion presents itself. Meaning: whenever I have bananas that are in a brown, sad state of affairs which is quite often. My husband is reluctant when it comes to fruit in general but I’d occasionally try to have him eat…

Be my Valentine – Cherry Cheesecake Tart with Chocolate-crumb crust
Hello-again Vanilla-beaners! Yet another Valentine’s day recipe. I love cheesecake in almost any form but I had never tasted this flavor combo before and it was delicious!! The cherry mixture is sweet and mildly tart dabbed here and there so it’s especially delicious when you get a bite with all three elements, the sweet crust, the tangy…

“Valen-tiny” Chocolate-dipped Espresso-Shortbread Cookies
Inspired by the holiday dedicated to love, love, love. Nothing says Valentine’s Day like hearts and chocolate. So, I made these cookies over the weekend for a party I was going to. These were, I thought, perfectly Valen-tiny. These are quite small but packed with a deliciously satisfying chocolatey-coffee flavor – highly addictive! I find that adding coffee in one form…
