Desserts Recipes

Homemade Desserts are the best as you can control what ingredients and sweeteners you’d like to use! These are my simple dessert recipes for the home baker!

I share many European-style cake and pastry recipes that have been featured at weddings! From sweet cheese-filled crepes to Fail-proof macarons, I aim for easier baking techniques no matter how fancy it sounds. Some Ukrainian pastries require special molds but are a rare treat. It’s the simple cakes, cookies, and bars that get made more often at the farmhouse. We love fresh milled flour banana bread and this chocolate pecan pie that always gets asked for the recipe! Donuts and homemade ice cream are real treat and made sparsely.

If you’re wondering where to start these moist chocolate cupcakes are loved by kids and adults. Other reader favorites are these creamy custard parfaits and this raspberry swirl cheesecake. When fruits are in season I like to can pie fillings to make pies and cobbler desserts. Having frozen cookie dough or cookie mixes are a wise way to stash dessert and make it effortlessly for guests or that sweet tooth craving! Happy Baking! -Chef Alyona
