Creme Brûlée
Creme Brûlée is one of those desserts that feels quite fancy yet it’s so simple. Personally, I’ve also been a little intimidated by this dessert; you’ve got to do a water bath and torch the top.

Old-School Tiramisu
Last year I discovered an amazing Tiramisu cupcake recipe and while they are amazing, it’s been a while since I made an actual tiramisu so I decided to give it a go. I ended up going with the recipe for Bon Appetit because I liked the fact that you could make this in a loaf…

Best-Ever Key Lime Pie
I’ve made Key Lime Pie before, but never fully from scratch. So I was really excited when I ran across this recipe that not only made a graham cracker crust from scratch, but also skipped the Key Lime juice as an ingredient and used fresh limes. . I was a little nervous about the fact…
