Whether for breakfast or a coffee break, we love all kinds of dessert breads. Here’s a marbled version made with local pistachio butter. Even once the cake is baked, the butter remains creamy and brings a richness to the loaf, making for an indulgent snack.

Rose, Mango and Raspberry Yogurt (Shrikhand)
Shrikhand is a must-try Indian dessert, perfect for those who like slightly sweet, fruity and most importantly, fragrant treats. We make it with plain Greek yogurt with honey, cardamom and rose water, which adds a floral and delicate touch. The mango in the mix is blended in a food processor to get a coulis, but also diced to add to the raspberry and pistachio garnish. It’s a pure delight to end the meal on a sweet note.

Raspberry Mousse Pie with Pistachio Crust
This pie gets its bright pink colour from raspberry purée mixed with gelatin. Then whipped cream is incorporated into it, creating a dense mousse called bavarois that stays standing even when cut. Spread it in a simple crust of graham cracker crumbs and chopped pistachios. As a garnish, use the jellified fruit purée to create a mirror glaze.

Lemon-Pistachio Baked Alaska
For this version of the baked Alaska, make a frozen parfait with lemon curd, which will prevent it from melting too quickly at the table. The genoise cake is soaked in limoncello syrup, which makes it super moist even after being frozen. The recipe may include many steps, but almost all of them can be taken care of up to two weeks in advance. You’ll just have to brown the Italian meringue with a kitchen torch on the day—and cause a sensation.
