A rim of crushed hazelnuts makes this nutty cocktail even more delicious.
You can make this light, cakey pudding in one pan or six small moulds.
Dried apricots, golden raisins and crunchy pecans update and lighten fruitcake without sacrificing any of its traditional charms. Make this stylish moist cake in a large loaf pan for a special occasion and in smaller ones to give away or unwrap and slice as needed throughout the festive season.
This swirl-topped cheesecake looks very impressive at the table. But don't be intimidated by it. Because the two batters have very similar textures, they swirl together with ease. For an elegant finish, garnish each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a whole hazelnut or a hazelnut wafer cookie.
Chocolate-orange is a classic holiday flavour combination. The bright candied zest on top perfectly complements the chocolate chunks hidden within the cake.
This adult treat is a cross between a cake pop and a rum ball. Look for lollipop sticks and cake pop stands at bulk food stores or in the baking aisle of the grocery store. We wrapped the sticks in gauze for a mummified effect. These pops taste best when cold, so keep them in the fridge until you're ready to sink your teeth into them. For an alcohol-free version, substitute 3 tbsp cold strong coffee for the coffee liqueur.
