Decadent Desserts

Double Chocolate Tart, Chocolate Cannoli (made from Asian wonton skins), and Caffe Creme Brulee"“a dark, delicious twist on the French classic"“are just three of the 79 tantalizing meal-finishers offered in this volume. Recognizing that today's home cooks are pressed for time, but knowing full well that homemade desserts are always better than packaged mixes, the author has streamlined recipes and added time-saving shortcuts, such as filling Boston Cream Pie with prepared pudding doctored with a touch of liqueur. Four chapters of mouthwatering recipes are simple enough for the beginning baker but yield outstanding results that will have the whole family clamoring for more.
