Five Spice Carrot Cupcakes

This carrot cake is moist and full of flavor. The addition of Chinese Five Spice brings an earthy sweetness and aromatic quality, adding a little interest to the most delicious carrot cupcakes.

Coconut & Blood Orange Trifle

This is both comfortingly cozy and subtly tropical. In the cold months of January through March, when blood oranges are at their peak, a little bright and bloody summer sun is just what we need.

Pumpkin-Pecan Cheesecake

During the holidays we have a hard time deciding between pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake for dessert. Well, problem solved! This super rich and luxurious pumpkin cheesecake is topped with a dark and decadent pecan pie-like topping that brings these epitomes of holiday desserts together.

No-Bake Cranberry Cheesecake

I don’t usually like no-bake cheesecakes but this works so well! The pectin in the cranberries helps to give this a wonderful texture, and they also give their sweet, sharp and crisp flavors for the ultimate holiday dessert.
