You can follow this chocolate pudding recipe, an ensaymada bread pudding recipe, a doughnut pudding recipe, but also, you can choose not to follow a recipe at all! We've got tips for you on how to turn any amount of bread into pudding as well.
5 Leche Flan Cheesecake Recipe
Impressing friends and loved ones has never been this easy. This delicious, no-frosting cake is sure to please everyone. Its perfect ratio of decadent, velveteen leche flan on top, with its bittersweet caramel, perfectly balanced by the light, tangy Japanese cheesecake it sits on.
Although making this recipe is quite easy, it does take some time to cool down. We suggest making in this morning so you can have a delightful, mid-afternoon merienda.
6 Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Chocolate chip cookies are classic for a reason: it's a treat everyone loves! Unlike most dessert recipes though that you can easily buy at a pastry shop, you often can't buy a freshly baked, warm cookie! Trust us, nothing's quite as good as a chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven! There's that delightful chewy softness but also warm, gooey chocolate.
With this special chocolate chip cookie, brown butter makes all the difference. You'll get that slightly nutty, deeper flavor. Another tip is you can freeze raw, cookie dough balls in your freezer. You can quickly pop them out and bake in the oven for a fresh batch of cookies during those busy weekdays when you just need a treat!
7 Peaches and Cream French Toast Recipe
This extremely easy recipe is both dessert and brunch. So, go ahead, sleep in, and start the day right with this french toast.
Another great thing about baking up something great on weekends? It's time well-spent because it's rewarding in so many ways. You get that sense of productivity, you get to bring people together, all the while doing a mindful activity that's great for your mental health. What's not to love? So, on your next weekend (especially long, staycation weekends!), try having a dessert project in mind. You'll have so much fun.
