Dessert Recipes

As a self-described “lazy” baker, I gravitate towards deliciously unfussy desserts that don’t require fancy decorating or a stint in culinary school. The dessert recipes you’ll find here are mostly simple and straightforward with a big reward at the end. More involved recipes are reserved for special occasions, but I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process for each, whether cakes or cookies, pies or ice cream.
