Hot tip: the blue tin is at Price Chopper (or at least my local PC)

Love love. Can the tahini tart be made the day before? Or the crust maybe?

Everyone should be making the Tiramisu! The angel food cake makes this truly the best version I’ve ever had! Recommend you use a good espresso you’d want to drink not instant.

The salty chocolate cookies are my favorite- especially with hazelnuts! I always have a batch frozen in my freezer and eat them straight from the freezer as my nightly snack. So much more satisfying than any other dessert, though I do make them a little bigger! My kids call them Mommy's special cookies because they are the one thing I won't share with them. They remind me of Baci chocolates.

Any advice out there for a lumpy mascarpone mixture? In step 2 (before incorporating with the egg mixture), I whipped the cream to soft peaks then added the mascarpone as written, but it wouldn't smooth out :( I added a little more cream, which helped some, but the texture is still really weird. The mascarpone was room temp and I was using a Kitchen Aid + whisk attachment.

My parents are eating it and insisting it's good, but we all know that's a lie. Please advise!

In need of wine recs for a NYE three person ham and latke dinner. I always hear mentions of a "light bubbly red/rose slightly chilled" which sounds fantastic, but results in a panic spiral in the wine shop if I go without a very specific wine in mind.

OMG just made the Crispy Chocolate Cake. I didn't even bother to make a frosting, the cake is so good by itself why bother?

I almost gave up and figured it would be flat because I didn't realize I needed to beat the eggwhites for 10 minutes. So glad I switched from the hand mixer to the stand mixer.

Man this is GOOD!!!
