5 Cozy Fall Dessert Recipes
A Recipe Round-Up For Changing Leaves and Discerning Palates
November 16, 2016
There's an autumnal nip in the air, and with Thanksgiving right around the corner guests are looking for desserts that are both comforting and classy. These five recipes feature the flavors of fall in all their autumnal splendor. Share your fall creations with us on our Facebook page or on Instagram with #auifinefoods!
1. Pear Crème Brûlée
This French classic has become the American ideal of a fancy dessert, and the addition of a flavorful pear compound makes this dish perfect for the season. Serving them in pear-shaped ramekins with halved mini pears turns the cuteness factor up to 11, so get ready for some serious Instagram photo shoots in the dining room!
2. Almond Fig Gingersnap Tarts
Rich almond cake, creamy fig mousse, and a crisp gingersnap tart shell combine to make a delicious and dainty fall dessert. That jaunty little acorn on top is only available through our limited Just In Time decor program, but that's no reason to miss out on on these amazing autumn flavors.
3. Pumpkin Entremet
One look at these modern, elegant entremets in your pastry case will have customers asking "pumpkin pie who?" With cream cheese mousse, pumpkin cake, 65% bittersweet chocolate, pecan streusel, and Gold Mirror Glaze, David S. Pumpkins has nothing on this fun and funky presentation. Any questions?
4. Spiced Chocolate Mousse
For the hopelessly devoted chocolate-lover, a little spice brings the season to this decadent 58% semisweet mousse. A micro sponge made with almond flour and warm autumn spices makes a rustic yet refined garnish.
5. Caramelized Pear and White Chocolate Tart
Nothing says fall quite like an amber-colored caramel, and this dessert has got caramel to spare! The white chocolate mousse is caramelized, the pears are caramelized, the salted caramel is way caramelized, and there's brown butter frangipane to boot! Nobody has to know that it's as easy as burning sugar to make.
