Desserts & Treats recipes Page 13

Cakes, cookies, scones, tarts, puddings and no-bake sweets for everything from a weeknight craving to a holiday table. The range runs from fudgy chocolate zucchini brownies and fresh strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting to classic hot cross buns, biscotti, French éclairs and a quick 25-minute scone.

If you are short on time or oven space, look at the no-bake options such as chocolate icebox cake and cheesecake stuffed strawberries, or the crock pot hot fudge sundae cake. Fruit lovers can choose a lemon berry crumble, Southern banana cobbler or brown butter apple cake. Check the yield, such as 12 slices or 8 servings, to match your gathering.
