One of the easiest desserts to make is mousse, easily tailored to the ingredients of your choice. This dulce de leche mousse incorporates silky caramel into the mix, for a sweet finish that only takes about 15 minutes of effort. The fridge does the rest.

This orange sorbet recipe makes for a great palate cleanser. It's light and cooling, and you’re also getting loads of vitamin C, plus a smattering of potassium and beta-carotene which will help you fight off the winter chills.

Crisp on the outside, meltingly soft within, these hot little packages are delectable. They can be prepared several hours in advance, up to the stage where you cook them, and the pears can be poached a day ahead.

I adore this sensual dessert: the spices add an extra dimension to the juicy pineapple flavors. It is particularly good served with a scoop of thyme-scented fromage frais sorbet.

With a new cookbook out, the sophisticated and visually-compelling Adventures with Chocolate, master chocolatier Paul A. Young headed to the US for a tour. Thankfully he had a few moments to sit down with us and talk shop. The holidays are a time for booze-spiked chocolate truffles (in case you hadn't heard), which happen to be a specialty of his.

Our friends at Food Network are at it again but instead of Virtual Thanksgiving, this time we're all doing a cookie swap. Now we realize it says right in the recipe that we wouldn't use it for cookie swap purposes. It's not really our thing. But then we realized just how hard these cookies rock, and felt compelled to show them off.

We love cheesecake so much we ousted pumpkin pie as the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert. We love cookies so much we made them into pancakes. Michelle Oddis loves dessert so much she crammed two winners into one all-star, and not that we do cookie swaps or anything...but these would just dominate.
