Butterscotch Pots de Crème with Caramel Sauce

Go to Recipe

Dulce de Leche Bread Pudding

Go to Recipe

This gooey bread pudding made with caramel-like dulce de leche from Latin America is so much more than the sum of its five parts. To add even more flavor, throw in a handful of fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries before baking.

Chocolate Ganache Bread Pudding

Maple-Buttermilk Pudding Cake

Go to Recipe

This sweet and gooey pudding cake with crisp candied edges, a Maine favorite borrowed from neighboring Quebec, is known as pouding aux chômeurs—the unemployed guy’s pudding. Sam Hayward doesn’t know how this dessert got its name, but the lavish use of maple syrup (a Maine staple) probably helped make it popular.

Baked Custard with Allspice

Go to Recipe

Chocolate Panna Cotta with Spiced Pepita Brittle

Credit: Con Poulos
Go to Recipe

This light, silky panna cotta tastes a lot like hot cocoa in custard form. The brittle is easy to make; heat sugar and water on the stove, swirl in butter and spiced pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds), then let cool.

Chocolate Soufflés with Crème Anglaise

Go to Recipe

“I love the simple elegance of chocolate soufflés,” Grace Parisi says. She uses top-quality chocolate from brands like Valrhona or Callebaut, which lends a deep, almost smoky flavor to the airy dessert. Tahitian vanilla beans—some of the world’s best—add a floral sweetness to the crème anglaise.

Lemon Pudding Cakes

Go to Recipe

These pillowy, vitamin C-packed cakelets are adapted from The Greyston Bakery Cookbook. “When you overwhelm dry ingredients with wet ones, an amazing texture separation happens,” Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan says. “These cakes are rich without being too heavy.”

Indian Pudding

Go to Recipe

With its delightful contrasts of warm spicy pudding and cold vanilla ice cream, this version of an American classic is the ultimate comfort dessert. Homey as it is, though, it looks elegant when served in stemmed bowls. While Indian pudding is frequently stodgy, our version is soft and light and altogether tempting.

Caramelized-Pineapple Baked Alaskas

Go to Recipe

Baked Alaska is a layer of cake covered with ice cream and meringue and broiled. In this version, Grace Parisi skips the cake: Instead, she tops ice cream (preferably coconut) with pineapple chunks that have been sautéed with store-bought dulce de leche, then spoons a quick meringue over the fruit and broils until golden.
