Here is a collection of desserts for pies, cobblers, cakes, puddings and so much more. Want to top off a great meal with a sweet treat? The possibilities for desserts are endless. Sometimes it’s is the very best part of a meal. Trifles, cheesecake, fools, galettes, and crisps are always welcome on the table. Coconut, whipped cream, sauces, and streusel can make a plain pie or cake into an event! Desserts can be made of fruit, or contain chocolate, nuts, or bits of candy. Choose a recipe to complement the meal. You might decide on a rich and creamy dessert following a simple, light meal. If the meal was heavy, light and fluffy dessert might be a perfect ending. A casual meal might call for a quick and simple dish or if it’s a special occasion, the host might want to create something festive and fancy.
