This single serve spiced poached pear with a delicious streusel and homemade creme anglaise is the perfect fancy dessert for one. Not to mention the perfume of the poaching liquid makes your house smell amazing for hours.

A rocher of silky smooth mousse on top of a bed of crunchy Biscoff crumbles, brought all together by a sweet and tart cranberry consommé that wraps it all up in flavor and texture perfection. Get ready to hit all of your chocolate, tart, smooth, chewy, crunchy cravings.

With a mild sweetness and the sharpness from the fresh raspberry jam, these cookies are the perfect pairing for an afternoon treat - or any time of day let’s be honest. The jam windows offer a peek inside and give a delightfully delicate vibe to a pretty little treat.

This cake is a mouthful, in many ways. I’ve been dying to try my hand at an olive oil cake so when thinking out my plan of [dessert] attack, I kept thinking back to the crepe suzettes we made in pastry school. So I thought, why don’t I inspire a cake from it?

There’s nothing better than the sweet softness of freshly whipped sweet cream on top of your favorite berries, sandwiched between a Victoria sponge, or dolloped on top of a hot chocolate. An easy classic to wrap into your basics belt.
