Easy Creamy Berry Trifle
This Creamy Berry Trifle is a luscious dessert that is light and delicious. There's a layer of Angel Food Cake, homemade White Chocolate Pudding, fresh berries and homemade whipped cream.

Healthy Rainbow Fresh Fruit Place with a Cream Cheese Dip and Banana Sauce
Fresh sliced fruit looks so pretty when it's "shingled" on a plate-- almost like a rainbow! I made a creamy cottage and low-fat cream cheese dip. To guild the lily, I made a banana sauce with yogurt and honey. It's a delicious fruit dip that complements the fresh fruit perfectly.

How to Make Vanilla Meringue Cookies and Mini Pavlovas
How to Make Mini Pavlovas Meringue Cookies are one of my favorite cookies. I love the crunchy texture and the creamy marshmallow center. They are so simple to make, and a perfect way to use up egg whites. They're fun to "pipe" into stars-- better yet, I like to make large shapes with an indentation. Once baked, they are filled with fresh whipped cream and topped with fresh

How to Make An Angel Lush Pineapple Swiss Cake Roll with Pineapple
This recipe is a delicious riff of a classic Kraft recipe with store bought Angel Food Cake filled with pudding, non-dairy whipped topping and canned pineapple filling. This "Swiss Roll" version is even better, using a baked Angel Food Cake on a jelly roll pan, then layered with a billowy cream cheese/fresh whipped cream frosting and crushed pineapple. A toasted coconut garnish
Buttery and Delicious Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies with an Almond Glaze
These Buttery Raspberry Shortbread cookies are one of my favorites. They are tender, buttery and totally addictive. I'm fond of raspberry jam, but you could certainly substitute with apricot, strawberry or pretty any kind of fruit jam that you prefer. The cookies are drizzled with an almond glaze that looks fancy but are quite simple to do. When I first made these, a certain
How to make Vanilla Sauce (Crème Anglaise )
Crème anglaise (vanilla sauce) is a light pouring custard, perfect over desserts or fresh fruit. It's made with a combination of sugar, egg yolks and hot milk/cream. I was surprised how fast this dessert sauce was to make-- in less than 20 minutes! It's perfect to pour over my homemade bread pudding recipe. I used fresh vanilla beans, but you can use pure vanilla extract as a
