Fall is in the air. I’m starting to think about desserts that are cozy. Warm. Indulgent. To welcome fall, I started with this super simple S’Mores Tart. The hardest thing about this is patience, because you’ll want to eat it right away.
The recipe is best executed with one slightly less common kitchen item, though: a kitchen torch. If you don’t have one, though, it might be worth the (small) investment if you enjoy crème brûlée (omg).
This tart is quite thin. Don’t let that fool you. It is rich. You only need a small slice.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any recipes. This is partially because I’ve had less time to bake, but also because I literally forgot to take photos of some recipes before devouring them, and therefore had nothing to show you! 
Christmas baking doesn’t have to be limited to cookies, and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Today I’m sharing a recipe for Chai Cupcakes with Chai Cream Cheese Frosting that brings the cozy flavor of chai tea to your dessert table. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that if you left this on Santa’s cookie plate, he would also be much appreciative. 
Although I am aware that fall has arrived, we’ve been having a bit of an Indian Summer, so I’m still happy to indulge myself in frozen treats. I found inspiration for a single-serving frozen “cup” online, and modified it as below. 
I’ve had excess free time on my hands lately, so I decided to do some baking. I’ve had my eye on this Oreo buttercream for some time, and this was the perfect time to give it a test drive. It was as good as I had hoped! My nieces approved, too.
Sometimes you just gotta make a “cheat” easy recipe. This is especially true during the heat of summer. A few weeks ago, I had a friend visiting during these hot days, and I wanted something sweet to enjoy as we lounged around the air conditioned house in the evening. So, I found this Lemon Cheesecake Mousse that fit the bill. Typically I dislike no-bake cheesecake, but I found that as a mousse it works well, and the lemon is perfect for those hot days.
Passion Fruit is my favorite fruit, but it’s exotic enough that it’s sometimes hard to find (and not cheap). Depending on where you live in the country, you may or may not be familiar with passion fruit. It’s a sweet/tart tropical fruit (parcha in Spanish), that is common in the Caribbean and a refreshing flavor of choice for many. 
Mexican Chocolate is dark chocolate with spices such as cinnamon and chipotle. 
We got our first snowfall yesterday, and although where I live it all turned into
