Let's talk Best Desserts of 2015 on Day 4 of Countdown to 2016


My friend Sarah, of Fantastical Sharing of Recipes, is hosting this party for the second year in a row. She has invited foodie bloggers to post their best recipes of 2015 as we countdown to a New Year. Last year on the 4th day I shared Appetizers and Snacks.  This year, as you can see, we are sharing our Best Desserts.  This is apropos for this day as it would have been my parents 78th Wedding Anniversary and my Pop's loved him his sweets.

I have my Dessert Page broken down into 7 separate categories, starting with Cakes, Doughnuts and Brownies.  That is what I am starting with today.


Caramelized Pear Upside Down Cake
Mocha Bundt Cake, Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes

Next up is Cookies and Bars.  I had a hard time choosing because I am the original Cookie Monster.


Almond Fudge Topped Shortbread, Coffee Cashew Biscotti, Italian Jam Cookies, 
Chocolate Coconut Bird's Nests, Fairy Drops, Kolatczki


Here are some of my favorite Pies, Pastries, Crisps and Crumbles from 2015.

Cranberry Cocoa Tart, Brownie Pecan Pie, Rhubarb Blueberry Custard Pie
Baklava and Easy Rhubarb Crumble

A few more from other categories
Irish Cream Cheesecake
Chocolate Malt Ice Cream, Fruit and Nut Clusters
Tiramisu Gelato, Nut Brittle, White Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse

And my most unique, elegant and personal favorite


Vouvray Poached Pineapple with Rosemary Whipped Cream

Time to drool over some more fabulous desserts

    You have so many to choose from, how do you pick just one?

      Ah and therein lies the problem as to why my jeans are getting tight.

      I'm tempted but then I think I would just lose track of how much weight I am gaining.

    I adore cheesecake, so your Irish Cream Cheesecake is calling my name.

      That was my first try at biscotti and I was very pleased with how it turned out Amy.
