Kentucky Derby Pie Milkshake
With the Kentucky Derby only days away, I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic for the Kentucky Derby celebrations of my childhood. When I was growing up, we often attended the home of my parents’ best friends for their annual Derby party. Having grown up in the Bluegrass State, they were deeply rooted in the traditions surrounding […]
Raspberry & Pistachio Cake with Lemon Glaze
It’s always right around this time of year that I start craving desserts with fresh juicy berries and zingy citrus fruit — flavors that practically shout from the rooftops that Spring has arrived and it’s time to savor desserts with a lighter vibe. For a garden party I hosted in my backyard, I made this Raspberry […]

Blood Orange & Amaretto Mascarpone Trifles
I’m going to be completely honest with you guys. This recipe was brought about by a disastrous cake failure. When planning for this post I had grandeur plans for a supremely moist, citrusy, and blush pink pound cake (hello, spring!) garnished with creamy mascarpone glaze and golden toasted almonds. Sounds pretty dreamy right? Well, things […]
Lavender Pistachio Madeleines
Madeleines may have found their place in history thanks to Proust, but these buttery scalloped cakes are undoubtedly delicious enough to stand on their own, literary references aside. I’ve loved them for years, and can’t believe I actually had to purchase a madeleine pan to make these at home for the first time ever. The […]
Salted Butterscotch Pots de Crème
I have spent the last twenty-seven years of my life (so all of them) coveting any and all creamy desserts. From ice cream, to pudding, to more ice cream, I just can’t get enough. I have distinct memories of my ten-year-old self bellying up to the kitchen counter, preparing those little boxes of instant pudding – pouring […]

What better way to say “je t’aime” than these decadent delights adorned with an ombre royal frosting. Now’s the time to up your game by making these extra special — pull out your apron and make a homemade, but still super simple, batch […]

Dangerously Decadent Chocolate Pie
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, sweet treats, decadent chocolates, and dangerous indulgences are on our minds. And when tasked with whipping up a delicious and devilish Valentine’s treat, we knew that Libbie Summers — hostess with the mostess and author of Sweet and Viscous: Baking with Attitude — was the woman for the job.

Healthy Chocolate Cupcakes
Okay okay, “healthy” is a relative term, but when you compare these against your typical cupcakes packed full of sugar and way too much white flour and butter, they’re definitely healthier, and satisfy chocolate cravings like a champ. After watching the documentary Fed Up recently, I was inspired to start paying a little more attention to how much sugar […]
20 Best Thanksgiving Pie Recipes
It’s the eternal Thanksgiving debate at our house: try out a “new twist” on the traditional desserts (me), or stick with the classics (pretty much everyone else). The men in our family look forward to my mom’s perfect pecan tart all year long, and my sister and Phoebe are major pumpkin pie girls. Though I […]

No-Churn Chai Ice Cream with Dulce de Leche
If I had to eat only one food for the rest of my life, I think I’d choose ice cream. I’ll gladly devour any flavor, from roasted beet to plain old vanilla, fancy artisanal versions or DQ soft serve (remember “dip cones?”)… I’m pretty obsessed with it all. Since we’re still feeling summertime temps here in Austin, I’m holding onto ice cream […]
