Attention, sweet lovers: We've compiled a list of our most popular desserts, all perfected in the Brit + Co test kitchen. We're talkin' candy apples, peekaboo cakes with hidden designs, and some downright indulgent cookies. If you like what you hear (and see), keep swiping to the right.
Mason Jar Cheesecake: A crumbly graham cracker bed layered with dreamy cheesecake and topped with plump blueberries packs alllll the flavor into an adorable jar for the perfect treat on-the-go.
Naked Wedding Cake: Edible flowers, white pearls, and fruit transform this classy wedding cake into a showstopper that's as pretty to look at as it is to eat. Save us a slice.
No-Bake Lazy Cake: Easy recipes can also be decadent, especially when they're made with Ghirardelli cocoa and crumbled biscuits. Just freeze it for three hours for a bake sale win.
Caramel and Candy Apples: They said an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but they didn't say it couldn't be wrapped in caramel or coated with candy and nuts.
Cookie Dough Donut Sundae : We are seriously chomping at the bit to bite into this glazed donut, chocolate chip cookie dough, and ice cream cone concoction.
Avocado Whoopie Pie: Some might think of it as a cookie, others might call it a pie, we just call it gone. Who can turn down anything made with avocado AND chocolate filling?
Checkerboard Cake : Don't you just love this strawberry and lemon surprise inside a simple white frosted cake?
Baked Churro Chips: The options are endless with these cinnamon-sugar coated chips. You can pile them high or top them with your favorite sundae condiments, but dipping them is absolutely required.
Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies: Feast your eyes on these insanely delicious and healthy cookies. Yup, these beauties start with a chickpea batter, but you'd never know it!
English Toffee: We bet after making these chocolate-topped, perfectly cracked toffee pieces you won't be able to wait five minutes to pop a piece in your mouth.
Watercolor Cake :
Paint a permanent smile on your BFF's face with this elegant and artistic birthday cake. After hearing "Surprise!" she's going to blush with pure delight.
Glittery Fortune Cookies : We were always told to share good fortune, and we're doing just that with these cookies. With melted chocolate and edible decorations, these fun takeout cookies are the perfect conversation-starter at any party.
Gourmet Lollipops : It's going to be extremely hard to go back to store-bought lollipops, because these flavors are truly one of a kind.
DIY Pastel Peanut Butter Cups: Yum! Our favorite chocolate candy has been tie-dyed with colorful chocolate, and we are so into it.
Vertical Layer Cake : If you're set on wowing your guests, serve this cake with vertical layers. Mind. Blown.
Cereal Treats: Cereal-marshmallow treats get a fun makeover with this recipe. Use any of your favorite childhood cereals. Hello, magically delicious Lucky Charms treats!
Monster Ice Cream Cookies : These whimsical treats are *almost* too cute to eat.
