Dessert Recipes
There are dozens of great dessert recipes on 101 Cookbooks. These are recipes I developed or discovered over the years – dynamic desserts that are exciting or deserve to be highlighted! Some, like Nikki’s Healthy Cookies, or these wine-spiked Roasted Strawberries, or these Quinoa Hemp Balls are on healthful side of the spectrum. Others, like this beautiful Devil’s Food Cake, or my favorite Glissade Chocolate Pudding, are more indulgent. There has been a spectrum. Enjoy!
Rose Shortbread Cookies
Classic, buttery, whole wheat shortbread cookies. They're fragrant with rosewater, flecked with toasted nuts, and dried rose petals.
The World’s Best Cookies
This is the cookie to bake if you’re looking to win a popularity contest. They disappear fast. The crispy, crunchy texture is the magic. Completely unique thanks to a deluxe combination of oats, cornflakes, coconut, and walnuts. The butter browns while baking and these little gems cool into perfect bite-sized bliss.
Honey Ice Cream
This simple honey ice cream recipe makes a creamy bowl of goodness that tastes as rich as it looks. Five ingredients; plump vanilla beans, heavy cream, whole milk, honey, and a bit of salt. That's it.
Frozen Yogurt
The frozen yogurt recipe you're looking for. Easy, wonderfully tangy, not-too-sweet, creamy white cloud of perfect frozen yogurt deliciousness.
Berry Pie
When you have an abundance of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or huckleberries, this is the berry pie to make. It’s classic, with a juicy, sugar-kissed, mixed berry filling. Pair it with a flaky, all-butter crust and you have the ideal berry pie on your hands.
Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting
This is the yellow cake of dreams. Perfect for celebrating birthdays, graduations, or simply getting through a tough week. The crumb is tender and moist, the chocolate frosting thick, luxurious, and slathered on generously. If you’re nostalgic for an updated version of classic yellow cake, this one hits all the right notes.
Strawberry Scones
These strawberry scones check all the boxes. Made with juicy sweet strawberries, they’re tender and rustic with golden craggy edges and a sugar-crusted top.
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
Classic peanut butter cookies flecked with oatmeal and baked until golden. Double down on the peanut front with hand-chopped peanuts and chunky peanut butter.
Grapefruit Sorbet
This grapefruit sorbet is inspired by the Paloma cocktail. It is blushingly tart and sweet, a straight-shooting sorbet made with fresh grapefruit juice spiked with a bolt of tequila.
Cheesecake Bars
These creamy, decadent cheesecake bars feature a citrus swirled top, vanilla cream cheese filling, and shortbread cookie base. We've been baking these for special occasions for over twenty years!
