Desert Roses From 'Baking Chez Moi'

In her new cookbook, Baking Chez Moi, Dorie Greenspan admits she was thrown for a loop by these no-bake clusters of dried fruit, nuts, coconut, and cornflakes—yup, apparently the French can do low-brow—suspended in butter-enriched chocolate.

Grapefruit, Lime, and Tequila (Paloma) Sorbet

Tart and sweet with a tequila kick: the classic Mexican cocktail in sorbet form.

Lemon Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you've made a mint chocolate chip ice cream before, this recipe follows the same basic procedure.

So let's step past the unfortunate comparisons and consider white chocolate on its own terms. Once you get by the whole chocolate malapropism, white chocolate's flavor is pretty awesome: a buttery vanilla with strong hints of mint and other leafy herbs.

Flourless Chocolate Citrus Almond Cake

This almond cake is especially great because not only is it moist, flavorful, and generally awesome, it is also gluten-free! So for that gluten-intolerant cake-lover in your life, this citrus almond cake with sea salt and dark chocolate ganache is definitely a reason
