23 Jewish Desserts Everyone Needs to Try

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Here’s a closer look at all the best Jewish desserts, including moist apple cake and sufganiyot. These treats are perfect for any occasion, whether a holiday celebration or a relaxing afternoon.

If you’re looking for the best Jewish desserts for every holiday, we’ve got you covered. Jewish holidays are filled with traditional Jewish foods, and sweets are no exception. We celebrate with honey cake to ring in a sweet new year on Rosh Hashanah and make unleavened desserts like flourless chocolate cake or matzo toffee when we need something that’s kosher for Passover.

Each Jewish holiday has its own symbolic desserts, but you don’t actually need a reason to make any of them. From cherry blintzes to chocolate babka, these dessert recipes are a great way to experience Jewish culinary heritage, holiday or not. Plus, you can get the whole family involved in your baking projects and bake with the kids as a fun way to pass the day.

45 Easy-to-Make Dessert Recipes With 5 Ingredients (Or Less!)

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Need a sweet treat, but the pantry is running low on supplies? These easy-to-make dessert recipes need five ingredients or fewer, so you can still find something to make.

We’re living through a major everything-from-scratch Renaissance, and while there’s some merit to that, it’s OK if you can’t always muster up the energy to make the next viral snacking cake or over-the-top 12-ingredient cookie. Easy-to-make dessert recipes are what you need on those busy or tiring days, and they’re still just as tasty as more complicated ones.

To prove it, we compiled our favorite quick dessert recipes. They all use five ingredients or less—not counting everyday pantry staples like water, salt or cooking oil—so they’re very straightforward. There are recipes using cake mix with minimal measuring (we really mean easy), as well as no-bake desserts, so even the baking averse can enjoy a homemade dessert.

Expect favorites like peanut buttery Buckeyes, crisp palmiers, all kinds of fudge recipes and tried-and-true, simple dump cake recipes. There are a few unexpected ones, too, like Crock Pot lava cake, a genius three-ingredient banana bread, no-bake cheesecakes and even root beer float-inspired desserts. I highly recommend pairing any of these with the best vanilla ice cream—from the store, of course!

31 Pretty Spring Desserts

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Our pretty spring desserts highlight our favorite light-and-fresh bakes in pastel hues.

Where most people love to bake in the fall, in the summer or during the Christmas season, my favorite time to bake is in the spring. I’m so inspired by the pretty pastels, in-season produce (hi, rhubarb!) and the lighter flavors—a welcome respite after a long season of heavy winter meals. Finally, it’s time for all things carrot cake, strawberry, lemon poppyseed, banana and matcha, and don’t even get me started on the cute Easter treats and pretty green desserts for St. Patrick’s Day.

We hand-selected our very favorite spring desserts for this collection. You’ll find a few expected spring desserts, like banana pudding, lemon pie, carrot cake and strawberry-rhubarb cobbler, as they’re quintessential to the season. But keep your mind open to some of our more trendy and modern spring desserts that are just as seasonal and pretty in their pastel hues, like pistachio cheesecake bars, carrot cake cinnamon rolls, Earl Grey tiramisu and the chicest rhubarb tart on the internet.

A few holidays land in spring, so there are a handful of St. Patrick’s Day and Easter desserts on the list. Don’t worry: They’re not so on-theme that you can make them only on the holiday; Shamrock Shake pie and peanut butter robin’s eggs are perfectly enjoyable any time from March through May. Many of these are make-ahead-friendly—perfect if you’re going to a spring gathering—but please don’t feel as if you need any other excuse to make spring recipes than just welcoming in the season of newness.

Easy Monkey Bread

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Craving something sweet? This easy monkey bread recipe is sure to satisfy. Classic, comforting, and ultra-craveable, monkey bread has small pieces of dough. These pieces pull apart effortlessly. This makes it a delightful dessert or breakfast treat. Our old-fashioned version uses quartered Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Biscuits. It combines cinnamon sugar and a buttery brown sugar glaze. This makes a simple, irresistible pastry that’s perfect any time of day.

Originally developed by the Pillsbury Test Kitchens and first shared in the 2003 Dough Magic! cookbook, as well as on the Pillsbury™ Grands! label, this recipe has been updated. It includes small tweaks like adjusting bake and cool times. Walnuts have been added for extra crunch. This pull-apart monkey bread is easy to master but truly impressive on a plate. Its simple prep and delicious flavor have made it one of our all-time favorites.

Recipe Ingredients

Just a few monkey bread ingredients are needed to make this sweet treat.

Biscuits: After years of testing various biscuit options, we’ve found that Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits are the perfect choice for our monkey bread recipe. These refrigerated biscuits serve as a convenient shortcut to perfectly fill your pan.

Sugar: We call for both granulated sugar and brown sugar. Granulated sugar provides sweetness and helps create a crisp coating, while brown sugar forms the sticky glaze. We use light brown sugar, but dark can be substituted for a richer molasses taste.

Butter: Salted butter is our go-to since it’s more commonly available, but either salted or unsalted butter—or margarine—will work. Melted butter helps the sugar and cinnamon form a caramelized glaze over the biscuit pieces.

Cinnamon: Sugar and cinnamon are the classic taste combination for this monkey bread.

Raisins and Walnuts: We like to add these for extra flavor and crunch, but this is entirely optional. Feel free to leave them out if you prefer.
