Sweets & Dessert Recipes
Find something sweet to finish a meal, bring to a gathering or enjoy with coffee. This collection includes cakes, chilled desserts, pies, mousse and sweet breads, with recipes such as Brazilian lemon pie, mango mousse, Turkish milk dessert rolls and coconut rolls.
Choose by the time and equipment you have as well as the flavors you enjoy. A quick preparation does not always mean a dessert is ready to serve immediately: some recipes need chilling, cooling or setting time after the hands-on work is done.

Choose a dessert that suits the occasion
Allow time to cool or set
Read the final steps before you begin. A mousse, cream filling or milk dessert may need time in the refrigerator, while a cake should be cooled as directed before you add its topping.
Check the equipment first
The collection includes oven-baked, microwave and no-bake ideas. Pick a method that suits your kitchen, and use the pan size or dish specified in the individual recipe.
Choose a portion style
A sliceable pie, a tray of rolls and a spoonable dessert serve differently. Check the recipe yield and think about how you will portion and transport the finished dish before shopping for ingredients.
