Nutella Chocolate Pudding

Whipped cream (Chantilly cream)

Chantilly cream is the French name for whipped cream that is lightly sweetened and flavoured with vanilla. Spread it, pipe it, dollop it!

Chocolate Marquise

A handsome ramekin of dark chocolate mousse is a Seriously Bitter Sweet indulgence. Take the time to make the Cocoa Bean Cream to serve on top; the cocoa nibs add a depth that complements the mousse beautifully.

Islas Flotantes de Coco (Coconut Floating Islands)

Though some recipes call for baking the meringues and then slipping them into the custard, I follow the more traditional route and poach them. A bite reveals that these islands are rather more like clouds.

Banana Cookies and Bourbon Ice Cream Sandwiches

Notes: Bourbon ice cream is a serving suggestion; you can skip this step and use your favorite flavor of ice cream. Use a stainless steel skillet to brown the butter--a dark-bottomed skillet will make it difficult to see the butter...

Scotch Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

This is everything vanilla ice cream should be: impossibly rich and smooth with deep notes of honey, caramel, and flowers. A good Highland Scotch (I'm partial to Glenlivet 12) brings out the best flavors of vanilla while also adding depth. There's a good amount of salt to keep you coming back for another bite. Add salt slowly and adjust it to your tastes.

Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta

Panna cotta is one of my favorite desserts, equally delicious as a delicate dish all on its own or as a creamy canvas for seasonal fruits.

Strawberry Cheesecake Sundae Pots

Like the look of this? It's incredibly easy to make - and no bake! A twist on the classic cheesecake, this is perfect for entertaining because all the elements can be made ahead then simply assembled prior

Cranachan (Scottish Whipped Cream With Whisky, Raspberries, and Toasted Oats)

Cranachan is the classic Scottish dessert of Scotch-spiked whipped cream layered with raspberries and toasted oats and sweetened with honey. It's as easy as it is delicious.

Brown Sugar Whipped Cream

This simple, butterscotch-y whipped cream is the ultimate companion to Sweet Potato Pie, but it's just as lovely spooned over brownies or swirled into your morning coffee.

Spiced Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe | Scooped

I have long resented the use of the word "vanilla" to mean bland, blah, and boring. Real vanilla is deep and complex. Anyone who thinks vanilla is boring hasn't tasted this ice cream.
