Salted Caramel-Chocolate Pudding Cake
Pudding cake is just what the title advertises: pudding and cake. The wondrous part is that both components materialize in the same pan. Batter is spread in a pan, then sprinkled with a sugar and cocoa powder mixture and liquid. This top layer filters down, essentially swapping places with the batter. The result is a layer of cake floating on top of pudding.

Olive Oil Pecan Rum Cake is the perfect addition to any holiday party or New Year's gathering. The rum adds the perfect complement to the vanilla cake, and the nuttiness of the pecans!
Poached Pears
Poached pears make a great dessert on their own, but my favorite use for them is as an ingredient in baked goods. Poaching the pears before using them in quick breads, muffins, cakes, and pies gives them vibrant, spicy flavor and ensures that they won't be undercooked or dried out. Feel free to customize the spice combination that you use to your taste.
Apple Blueberry Pie Cake
This juicy dessert is really a deep dish pie. A boat load of apples is baked in a buttery brown sugar streusel crust with a crunchy crumble topping.
Custardy Apple Squares From 'Baking Chez Moi'
In her new book, Baking Chez Moi, Dorie Greenspan calls this satisfying cake her "back-pocket recipe." So easy to throw together, it relies more on the alchemy of a hot oven than on elbow-grease.
If you have a cast-iron skillet and a couple of pears, you're quite close to cake. WIth a crisp bottom and sides and soft center, it's the perfect breakfast or dessert.

Pecan Pie Ice Cream
Pie meets ice cream in this rich and creamy pecan-vanilla ice cream amped up with a salty molasses-twinged gooey swirl.
Roasted Plum, Ginger, and Honey Ice Cream
You won't need eggs for this ice cream, which is thick and dense thanks to the plums and honey. A couple spoonfuls of plum brandy helps as well, both for texture and to amplify the plums' honeyed flavor.

A classic Creme Brûlée recipe. French chic sophistication in dessert form - yet it's so easy to make! Excellent dinner party dessert idea.
Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
This ice cream tastes like a better, more homemade version of a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte (minus the coffee, which is pretty incidental), thanks to a dose of vanilla bean, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and a wee nip of bourbon.
Jeni Britton Bauer's Tuscan Sundae
The flavors here are so complementary and play off each other perfectly: the salt and caramelized sugar in the ice cream, the warm honey and Vin Santo sauce—delicious
Scooped: Apple, Browned Butter, & Sour Cream Ice Cream
The time has come for us to end this ice cream series, October being halfway to Halloween. We wanted something to complement fall's palette of desserts: crumbles, crisps, cakes, and quickbreads, filled with apples, pears, walnuts, and cinnamon. With that in mind, apples and sour cream were a no-brainer, a lusciously tart rejoinder to rustic late-harvest food.
Scooped: Gingerbread and Trappist Ale Ice Cream
As the temperature drops and New York's skies take on a dignified gray, we've put our window fans away and taken out our fall jackets. Summer may be on the way out, but making ice cream isn't. A new season...
Fruity No-Churn Ice Cream
This ice cream relies on the power of a stand mixer, rather than a proper ice cream machine, and can be made with any sort of freeze-dried fruit.
Irish Coffee Caramel Ice Cream with Shaved Dark Chocolate and Candied Pecans
It has buttery, smoky caramel, a dash of coffee grinds, and a generous helping of whisky for good measure. It's a bracing combination, but oh does it work. First you taste the coffee, roasted and rich, with the pleasant bitterness of an actual cup of joe. Then comes the caramel to sweeten things up just a tad, melting to sweet buttery goodness. Then the whisky: the more ice cream you eat, the more you taste it.
Everything Nice (Spiced-Rum Coffee With Butterscotch Whipped Cream)
In this variation on a classic Irish coffee, spiced rum takes the place of whiskey, lending its sweet, spiced caramel flavor to the coffee's roasted, bitter bite.
