Desserts

Based on an Italian pie that is traditionally made with ricotta cheese, I’ve made it smoother and more luscious by using mascarpone.

Amy says, "I found this recipe on a message board on the internet – didn’t have a regular name attached to it – just a screen name. It was delicious and smells so good baking!"

You can serve this dish plain or you can serve it with the Almond Dessert Sauce.

This is not a large dessert but it’s so decadent that you don’t need a large portion.

To get really fancy serve with a bit of bourbon or port on the side. You’ll feel like you stepped out in New Orleans.

This is one of my favorite, QUICK recipes for an impromptu dinner party.

This was a huge hit in the Zola kitchen this week. Big smiles all around. Absolutely delicious!

Mmm. Toffee. Dive in and eat one of these while they are still warm.

This tasted more like a smooth pumpkin pie than a cheesecake to me, but in either case I found it to be a heavenly option for a pumpkin dessert destined for Thanksgiving.

I used to order it in restaurants. It came with a crème anglaise or maybe a raspberry sauce. You can serve it with either of those or whipped cream or even Truwhip.

Light and dreamy. If you like pumpkin you’ll love this smooth and easy dessert.

There’s something about the potential of smelling apples baking with cinnamon and nutmeg that conjures up fond memories of my mother in the kitchen.

I’m offering up a cheesecake that you can eat while on Plan Z during the ZReboot phase. It’s yummy and feeds 12 if you are having a party.

These are edible and yummy but as my assistant Jennifer said, “They taste healthy” which means they are not gooey decadent or feel sinful. But they are tasty and healthy!

This recipe would be great with berries or a bit of whipped cream on top too.

Another delicious simple desert from the Zola kitchen.

Think peanut butter chiffon pie without the crust. For a low carb diet this is perfect.

I serve this warm with cinnamon buttered pecans on top but would also be perfect as a topping on the almond pound cake.

It’s almost adult it’s so good. Make this for a dinner party or family gathering and you’ll be a hit.

Whenever I go out to dinner I try to find things on the menu that I don’t cook at home or have a home. If I like them, I order them. This time I felt like spoiling myself just a tad, so I ordered the dessert. With a couple of very small changes I wanted to share this with you so you could enjoy it, too.
