There are times when you want to just quickly whip up a dessert to save time on a busy day. But occasionally there are those days when you feel like that sort of thing just isn’t enough! I had one of those moments a couple of weeks ago, when I was expecting very special company. I started searching for dessert recipes that would completely wow my guests, and leave everyone speechless.

This sweet apple cheesecake is drizzled with melted caramel, in true celebration of the flavors of these colder months of the year. What better way to enjoy a treat, than to combine two of your favorites? Although this recipe has quite a few ins and outs, the indulgent results are unmistakable. The tastes of rich cheesecake, smothered warm apples, and a dollop of melted caramel, will have you clearing your plate in record time.

Such a Deliciously Decadent Holiday Treat!

This Praline Pecan Cheesecake really is worthy of being on most any Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table, or another special occasion. The cheesecake would be plenty good enough by itself, but that praline topping really puts it over the top. I had had pralines plenty of times, and they make for a nice little Southern treat by themselves. But it turns out that that nutty, sweet flavor complements the taste and texture of pumpkin rather nicely.

This may not be the quickest and easiest cheesecake recipe ever, but the instructions are pretty straightforward. And the end result is most definitely worth the effort! I can’t even tell you how many “ooh’s” and “aah’s” I got when I brought this to the dinner table – and every single one of my guests were begging for the recipe.

Have you been searching for a great cookie recipe that’ll wow you and your guests? Look no further because this is it! These white chocolate cranberry cookies would work particularly well for a holiday treat, though with that flavor, you could enjoy them most any time of year.

Believe it or not, I was not as familiar with the white chocolate cranberry flavor combination as I was with the white chocolate raspberry one, prior to baking some of these. I have to say, it works out nicely – richly sweet, with just the right amount of tartness from the cranberries to put everything in balance. The addition of cornstarch to the dough ensures that the cookies will remain soft, even the next day. And the use of dark brown sugar instead of light brown gives the flavor of the cookies that much more depth and ensures that they have a more chewy, less crispy texture.

It’s Kind of Like a Sweet Tart, In Cake Form

This Drunken Apple Cake is a great cake recipe for fall and the holidays! It is incredibly moist, to the point of being custard-like in places, and it features a nice balance of sweet, tart, and (thanks in large part to the rum) slightly spicy flavor. This is a great choice for anyone who likes a really “wet” dessert with a lot of flavor depth. I loved the alternating layers of firm cake and creamy apple goodness. If you like apples at all, you really ought to give this recipe a try!

Of course, the precise flavor balance that you have will depend in part on your choice of apples. I went with an aged rum for a bit of a richer flavor, but you could go with a light rum if you want a bit of a leaner, crisper flavor or a spiced rum if you want your cake to be a bit on the sweetly spicy side.
