The book is nearly 75 classic recipes with a twist: Banana Foster and Chocolate Pudding Parfait, Raspberry and Almond Opera Cake, Graham Dutch Apple Pie, Mocha Crunch Fudge, and more. Shortcuts like premade cookie dough and mixes make these desserts as practical as they are fanciful. Recipes for all seasons and occasions make this book a must-have for any dessert lover. |
