Faith Middleton's Food Schmooze: Unforgettable Desserts

UNFORGETTABLE DESSERTS: More than 140 Memorable Dessert Recipes for All Year Round contains a collection of desserts that are exotic, extravagant, and utterly remarkable. While there are recipes to challenge even accomplished bakers, beginners need not be intimidated. Many of the recipes, though impressive, are deceptively simple, such as the gorgeous Matcha Tea Leaf Shortbreads and the amazing Frozen Peanut-Butter-Honey Cheesecake. For the adventurous, Almond-Apricot Brownies with Tart Cherry Ganache, Pomegranate-Chocolate Mousse Cake, Latticed Browned Butter Vanilla Bean Pear Pie, Crème Fraîche Cheesecake with Rhubarb Compote, Arborio Rice Pudding with Lemon Cream, Frozen Milk Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie, or the Stracciatella Semifreddo with Kahlúa-Caramel sauce are sure to excite the senses.
