Hazelnut Butter and Coffee Meringues

Consider every birthday cake, brownie, and cupcake covered (in this frosting, that is).

Yes, it's a shortcut in a microwave. It's also a gooey, fudgy, wildly good chocolate cake.

There are many things that appeal about a Basque cheesecake—it's crustless (one less job) and is meant to look “rustic” with its wrinkled and jagged sides.

Reminiscent of a classic diner dessert, this chocolate cream pie offers pure comfort in a cookie crust.

These decadent brownies feature a sweet, minty topping complemented by a rich dark chocolate ganache and mini chocolate chips for added texture.

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

You can find butter mochi on practically every corner in Hawaii—it’s that ubiquitous because, well, it’s that good. For my version, I’ve browned the butter for a layer of toasted nutty flavor and added miso, which balances out the sweetness with its signature umami.

Nutty, protein-packed, and batchable—perfect for hectic mornings.
