Desserts

These crisp, fruitcake-adjacent cookies are loaded with pistachios, hazelnuts, dried cranberries and candied oranage peel.

One of recipe developer Amy Rosen's favourite desserts growing up in the ’80s was chocolate-pudding pie, which was made from a pudding package and topped with artificial whipped cream from a tub. It was good. But this is better. (Note: This is made in the French chocolate-mousse tradition, so it contains raw eggs.)

These chocolate-dipped biscotti wedges make are perfect for the chocolate-orange lovers in your life. Add a bag of coffee beans for a lovely Christmas gift.

Drizzled with chocolate, these minty cookies make a pretty addition to any festive cookie platter. 

Use the best-quality maraschino cherries you can find—we like the Italian brand Luxardo—to make these simple cookies truly luxurious.
