This Italian torta features light-as-air egg whites folded into a ground almond base. A silky stovetop amaretto custard sauce adds just the right finishing note.

A silky-smooth white chocolate-cream cheese filling gets a bright lift from a lemony crust and citrus- and honey-scented pistachios. 

This luscious pie proves once again that sweet and salty are an unbeatable combo.  

We prefer a bittersweet chocolate with about 70 percent cacao content for these rich cupcakes, but you can use any cacao percentage you like. 

This super-rich cake made with bittersweet chocolate is prepared in just one bowl and can be mixed with a handheld mixer. 

The coarsely chopped chocolate chunks in these treats are absolutely luxurious.

This oh-so-creamy dessert starts with a chewy brown sugar-graham cracker crust that cradles a fluffy chocolate eggnog cream. 

 Planning to serve a crowd? These bars are the ideal choice. 

Take a favorite holiday candy, combine it with sweetened cream cheese, roasted peanuts, shortbread and whipping cream, and you end up with this fun new holiday dessert. 

A brown sugar toffee sauce is the secret to these delectable cakes.
