Peanut Butter Ice Cream

This recipe works best with creamy peanut butter. Reduced-fat or homemade peanut butter doesn't work as well. If you prefer your peanut butter ice cream chunky, simply add a handful of chopped nuts at the end. Or better yet, some chocolate peanut butter cups. Yes…that. ;)

Coconut Ice Cream

Laced with the chewiness of toasted, shredded coconut, this ice cream is wonderful on its own or spread in a cooked pie shell and covered in meringue, then browned quickly under the broiler for a Baked Alaska Coconut Pie.

Cinnamon Ice Cream

Although cinnamon is one of the most common spices, not all varieties of cinnamon are created equal. Cinnamon varies in taste and intensity, depending on how old it is and where it was grown. This recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, but you can adjust it up or down to suit your own taste and the strength of the cinnamon you have on hand.

Nigella Lawson’s Creme Brulee

Put back in the refrigerator if you want, but remember to take it out a good 20 minutes before serving. At which stage, put the bowl on the table and, with a large spoon and unchecked greed, crack through the sugary carapace and delve into the satin-velvet, vanilla-speckled cream beneath. No more talking: just eat.

Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Pots

I've tinkered somewhat with the traditional flavors, adding spices to bring to this the aromatic richness of Mexican hot chocolate (or so I, in my unfounded fantasy, like to think), which tempers the uncompromising richness of the confection without losing its seductive intensity.

Barefoot Contessa Double Chocolate Pudding

I like to take something familiar and bump up the flavor with high-quality ingredients. This pudding gets its flavor from good cocoa powder and imported semisweet chocolate. It's the real thing and, surprise!, it's not much harder to make than the packaged kind, and it's sooooo much better.

Barefoot Contessa LEMON BARS

It's important to me that lemon bars really taste like lemon. I love the way the tart citrus cuts the sweetness of the filling. I can't begin to calculate how many lemon bars Harry Goodale has made at Barefoot Contessa over the years, but they're definitely one of our best sellers.

Barefoot Contessa Coconut Cupcakes

"When someone stops me on the street and says, "You know what I love in your store?" I know the answer is probably going to be these cupcakes. People are devoted to them. I'm not sure if it's the cupcake or the icing, but the combination is positively heavenly.
