Dessert

This pie is both sweet and salty, which is my favorite dessert combination. The smoky bacon, mingling with the spiced apples and bourbon crust, is heavenly.

Earthy-sweet figs and bright lemon zest and juice give these cupcakes worlds of flavor. If you'd like, take them one step further with a silky cream cheese frosting.

Chia seeds thicken this dairy-free pudding as it sits: it's the perfect healthy, make-ahead dessert!

It’s pie without baking and an ice cream sundae without the fuss (not to mention the salted coconut crust). We call that a win-win-win.

This fragrant olive oil cake stays moist and flavorful for over a week, so feel free to make it a few days before serving. The caramel glaze is an optional, but highly recommended.

This North Carolinian cobbler-like dessert, with both a bottom crust and lattice top, is topped with a sweetened milk “dip” after baking for a time and then returned to the oven so that the dip forms a rich glaze.

This cobbler riff is made with a biscuit-like dough that gets rolled out, scattered with juicy blackberries, and then spiraled into a log.

No cheesecake roundup would be complete without this one, created by Santa Fe’s Three Cities of Spain coffeehouse (which closed in the mid-1970s) and our absolute favorite in the creamy category.

Don’t skip the vodka. It will give the sorbet a smoother, less icy texture.

Cardamom, pistachios, and lemon add a vibrant twist to this seasonal, jewel-toned dessert.

Treat this spoonable dessert as a vehicle for piles of your favorite peak-season fruit.

This dairy-free ice cream is infused with matcha and a touch of organic vanilla, and has a rich, sweet flavor.

These super-moist and delicious cookies are made with a secret ingredient: banana!
