Easy Dessert Recipes
65 original recipes
Baking is the part of cooking where small details matter most — gram weights, butter temperature, when to stop mixing. Every dessert recipe here gives volume and weight measurements, specifies the right pan, and tells you what doneness actually looks like (because toothpick-comes-out-clean is wrong for fudgy brownies).
Quick wins live next to ambitious projects: a five-minute molten mug cake, no-bake tiramisu cups, salted bourbon banana pudding parfaits — then sour cream chocolate cake with coffee ganache, laminated brioche feuilletée, and the chocolate chip cookie with brown butter and bread flour that everyone asks the recipe for.
