Crisp-chewy pistachio meringue gives way to cold creamy ice cream for an absurdly delightful contrast of textures. Think of it as an ice cream sandwich with a French pâtisserie glow up.

Crisp on the outside and marshmallowy inside, meringue pairs with rich mascarpone cream and fresh, juicy fruit in perfect balance of textures and flavours. Pavlova always lands well, whether you make one large centrepiece or a batch of minis like these.

Crisp, nutty meringue layered with praline pastry cream and dark chocolate ganache — this intensely rich and indulgent dessert is like a refined chocolate bar in cake form!

Crisp meringue topped with billowy whipped cream and macerated strawberries creates a sublime trifecta of sweet, tart and texture. This Strawberries and Cream Pavlova is always a show-stopping favourite whenever I serve it!

These MERINGUE NEST COOKIES WITH MASCARPONE CREAM topped with mini chocolate eggs are absolutely necessary for Easter! These darling treats are definitely not just for the kids 😉

A Baked Alaska is one of the grandest desserts to exist. It is a show stopper for the holidays or special occasion. I fully support using store-bought ice creams to reduce the work and most of it can be done days in advance and kept in the freezer. The final torching of the meringue makes for a dramatic flourish before serving!

SPOILER ALERT: This dairy-free and vegan chocolate mousse involves NO tofu, NO avocado, NO aquafaba and NO praying that the coconut cream will whip up properly. It is luxuriously rich with that dreamy fluffiness of traditional mousse. It is SUBLIME.

When I set out to make a dairy-free and vegan chocolate mousse, I deep-dived Google and Pinterest and came across a multitude of recipes using one of the four aforementioned ingredients: avocado, silken tofu, aquafaba (brine from canned chickpeas) and whipped up coconut cream. But I really, really wanted to create a version that steered clear of all of them. I wanted a recipe that uses more conventional dessert ingredients AND a fool-proof method, while still achieving a mousse that delivers the same intense chocolate flavor with a billowy texture that slightly melts on the tongue. No compromise.

A pavlova always makes a grand impression. The combination of juicy peaches, tart-sweet passionfruit, billowy whipped cream and chewy-crisp meringue, is certain to make you swoon.
