Mexican Hot Chocolate Truffles

The warming heat of New Mexican chilies, along with cinnamon, almond, and vanilla–the flavors of Mexican chocolate–make these truffles the ultimate indulgence.

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.

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.
