Mint Medley Chocolate Pots de Crème

January 23, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

This Mint Medley Chocolate Pots de Crème recipe yields a velvety smooth dark chocolate custard that makes just two servings for when you need a small-batch sweet treat.

When I need a quick dessert that’s every bit as delicious as it is easy, chocolate pudding/custard/mousse is a trick of the trade I like to pull out. It’s perfect for so many reasons.…

Streusel-Topped Apple Cinnamon Custard Cake

November 20, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

This Streusel-Topped Apple Cinnamon Custard Cake is buttery and aromatic with apples and warm spices. A couple years ago during apple season, I made the most amazing Apple-Almond Streusel Muffins and told you how fabulous my mom’s apple pie is. Now I’m sharing a new apple dessert (still not pie!), that apple lovers will go crazy for (but if you’re really hankering for apple pie, I have you covered with my Apple Slab Pie with Nutty Oat Crumble Topping!)....

Nutella Pudding Recipe

Chocolate-Hazelnut Custard on a White Fabric with an Exotic Flower Front View Vertical Orientation

This velvety smooth Nutella Pudding Recipe is rich with the delicious flavor paring of chocolate and hazelnut, and so easy to make on the stovetop! Last week Mike and I celebrated our anniversary. Don’t worry, I’m not about to get all sappy on you. I’ll keep it food-related, lol....

Individual Boston Cream Pies in a Jar

January 20, 2012 by Faith 34 Comments

For Christmas Eve dessert my brother asked for something called Christmas Custard Pie. No one else in the family had ever heard of it before (including me) and he had no explanation for it other than the obvious (custard and pie, lol!). When asked where he heard of it, he was strangely cryptic and didn’t really say; in an effort to find out more about it, I looked it up online and even though I found a few different recipes, nothing really stuck out as a must-try. But by that point I was definitely in the mood for custard so I decided to go with […]...

Cream Puffs (Profiteroles)

December 28, 2011 by Faith 50 Comments

Mike woke up to these little beauties on Christmas morning. Christmas morning I woke up at 3:43. It was a loud thud from above, and no not Santa, lol…just the neighbors making merry. Try as I might, I couldn’t fall back asleep for the life of me, and instead of waking Mike up with my incessant tossing and turning, I decided to get up and make pastries. (Doesn’t everyone do this when they can’t sleep, lol?)...

Dark Chocolate Custard

September 28, 2010 by Faith 44 Comments

Toppings, From Left to Right:  Almonds, Raspberry Preserves, Unsweetened Shredded Coconut, and Fresh Mint When it comes to lusciously decadent desserts, chocolate custard takes the cake.  Its velvety smooth texture and deep chocolate flavor are unparalleled, not to mention that it requires minimal ingredients and effort to make.  Stick with small servings though, as this is very rich.  I like to serve mine with various toppings, such as nuts, fruit preserves, shredded coconut, fresh mint, or chocolate chips.  Chocolate Custard (Inspired by Food & Wine) (Yield:  About 6 servings) 1 c half and half 1/3 c sugar 3 large egg yolks 3 1/2 oz good […]...

Cherry Custard Tart

July 7, 2010 by Faith 44 Comments

I wait all year long for cherry season and then when it comes around I buy them buy the bagful.  (Ok, it might just be an addiction.)  This recipe is a great way to use up some of the (millions of bagfuls of) cherries I’ve been buying. You probably look at this picture and see a bag of cherries.  I look at it and see breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Ok, I’m not that bad…but my cherry pitter is pretty much my new best friend.  :) I absolutely love the sugar-cookie-like crust on this tart, but for me the sweet cherries really are the highlight of the […]...

Baked Apples 2 Ways

November 3, 2009 by Faith 20 Comments

As you may know, apples are closely related to roses (I only found this out recently, and I thought it was so interesting!).  This might seem strange, but bake an apple and it won’t seem so odd.  Baked apples have a distinctive sweet, floral aroma just like roses.  You’re probably thinking that this scent would make a lovely perfume, right?  This is exactly why I love the DKNY Be Delicious fragrance collection!  As edible (or food-based, I should say) scents go, this is the only one I like to wear…but vanilla is my favorite candle scent!  It makes the house smell like fresh baked cookies.
