A small slice of this impressively rich, creamy, caramel flan dessert goes a long way. What a delightful finish for a special meal or holiday celebration. —Pat Forete, Miami, Florida
Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar

Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
In a heavy saucepan, cook sugar and water over medium-low heat until melted and golden, about 15 minutes. Brush down crystals on the side of the pan with additional water as necessary. Quickly pour into an ungreased 2-qt. round baking or souffle dish, tilting to coat the bottom; let stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until thoroughly combined. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour over caramelized sugar.
Place the dish in a larger baking pan. Pour boiling water into larger pan to a depth of 1 in. Bake until the center is just set (mixture will jiggle), 50-60 minutes.
Remove dish from a larger pan to a wire rack; cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight.
To unmold, run a knife around edges and invert onto a large rimmed serving platter. Cut into wedges or spoon onto dessert plates; spoon sauce over each serving.
Creamy Caramel Flan Tips What is flan? Flan (also called crème caramel or caramel custard) is a custard dessert with a layer of caramel sauce. Flan has been a staple of Mexican and Latin American cuisine since Spaniards brought it to Mexico during the Spanish occupation. Bake your way around the world with these other globally inspired baking recipes. What is sweetened condensed milk? Sweetened condensed milk is milk with most of the water cooked off, to which sugar has been added. It’s generally used in candy and dessert recipes. Evaporated milk is concentrated in the same way, but doesn’t contain added sugar. It lends rich texture to foods without the fat. This recipe uses both types of milk.Can you overcook flan? Yes, you can overcook flan. Overcooking your flan will result in a rubbery, eggy final product. A reliable way to test flan and baked custards for doneness is to gently thump the side of the pan. If the custard wobbles as one unit (instead of rippling like a stone’s been tossed in the pool), it’s ready.How do you store flan? You can store flan by tightly covering and refrigerating it for up to 4 days. We don’t recommend freezing flan.Is creme brulee or panna cotta the same as flan? Creme brulee and panna cotta are very similar to flan in that they are all custard-style desserts, but their cooking techniques and ingredients are different from one another.What can you serve with flan? This contest-winning dessert tastes delicious by itself or you can try topping your serving off with berries, nuts or toasted coconut.

These coconut macaroons are my husband’s favorite and earned me a first-place ribbon at the county fair. I especially like the fact that this recipe makes a small enough batch for the two of us to nibble on without lots left over. —Penny Ann Habeck, Shawano, Wisconsin
Ingredients
1-1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
In a small bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, flour and salt. Add egg whites and vanilla; mix well.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Macaroon Tips What is the difference between a macaroon and a macaron? Macaroons (pronounced mack-a-roon) are an American creation made with shredded coconut and sometimes dipped in chocolate. Macarons (pronounced mac-a-rohn), made famous by the French, are elegant meringue sandwich cookies filled with buttercream, ganache or jam. (Here’s how to make French macarons.)Why do my coconut macaroons spread? Coconut macaroons may spread due to too much moisture. Try adding another tablespoon of flour or whisking your egg whites until fluffy. (Here are other ways to prevent cookies from spreading.)How long do coconut macaroons last? Coconut macaroons can last for up to 1 week if you store them in an airtight cookie storage container. To make them last longer, you can freeze them by placing them in a single layer on a sheet pan in the freezer. Once the individual cookies are completely frozen, you can store them in a flat-bottomed airtight container with the layers separated by parchment paper or waxed paper.

Grab your spoon! This sweet dirt pudding recipe is just so good! —Kristi Linton, Bay City, Michigan
Ingredients
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3-1/2 cups cold 2% milk
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (15-1/2 ounces) Oreo cookies, crushed
Shaved white chocolate, optional
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes; let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Gradually stir into cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped topping.
Spread 1-1/3 cups crushed cookies into an ungreased 13x9-in. dish. Layer with half the pudding mixture and half the remaining cookies. Repeat layers. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with shaved white chocolate if desired.
Dirt Pudding Tips How do I make worms and dirt? The easiest way to decorate dirt pudding is with store-bought gummy worms. For dirt, use crushed Oreo cookies.Can I make dirt pudding without cream cheese? Classic dirt pudding and this mind-blowing funfetti ice cream cone pie both contain cream cheese and butter, and that’s what makes these no-bake desserts so thick and indulgent. Recipes that don’t use cream cheese won’t have as much body or richness. We created a low-fat version of this recipe, and it uses fat-free and regular cream cheese, but skips the butter.What if my pudding doesn't set? As long as you follow the recipe—being sure to use instant pudding mix and to whisk it vigorously until thickened—this is not going to be a problem for you. If you don’t use the right mix or whisk it long enough, the filling might be thin. In that case, try freezing the dirt pudding, then scoop out servings as a frozen dessert! Drizzle with homemade hot fudge for an irresistible mudslide treat. Research contributed by Christine Rukavena, Taste of Home Book Editor.

For our daughter’s wedding, a friend made this lovely, angel food cake from a recipe she’s used for decades. It really is one of the best angel food cake recipes I’ve found. Serve slices plain or dress them up with fresh fruit. —Marilyn Niemeyer, Doon, Iowa
Ingredients
1-1/4 cups large egg whites (about 9)
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 cup cake flour
1-1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Sift 1/2 cup sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 350°. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake until lightly browned and entire top appears dry, 35-40 minutes. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
Angel Food Cake Tips Can you make angel food cake without a tube pan? It’s recommended to always use a tube pan when making any angel food cake recipe. The delicate egg batter needs the tall sides of the pan to cling to or else it will collapse. Another way to keep your cake from collapsing is to slowly add the sugar to the egg whites. Going slowly allows a beautiful foam to build. Adding too much sugar at one time can deflate the air you've worked so hard to incorporate. Read our ultimate cake baking guide for more tips!How do I know when angel food cake is done? Angel food cake is done when the cake is golden brown and the top springs back when pressed firmly. If you leave an indentation on the cake, it needs to be baked for longer. Learn more about this cake doneness test.Why is it called angel food cake? Angel food cake likely got its name because of its light, white and fluffy texture. To make your angel food cake even more heavenly, stir in the seeds of a vanilla bean or a bit of vanilla bean paste.

In our family no one thinks it’s Christmas without this Red Velvet Cake recipe. I baked the first one for Christmas in 1963 when I found the recipe in the newspaper and my Mother kept the tradition going into the ’80s. It’s different than other Red Velvet Cakes I’ve tasted over the years, since this one tastes only mildly chocolate and the icing is as light as snow. —Kathryn H. Davison, Charlotte, North Carolina

This funnel cake recipe is simpler to make than doughnuts, and it's just as good. Funnel cakes have been a favorite of ours since we came across them living in the Ozarks. —Mary Faith Yoder, Unity, Wisconsin
Ingredients
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Oil for deep-fat frying
Confectioners' sugar
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, water and vanilla until well blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth. In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°.
Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup batter into the funnel. Holding the funnel several inches above the oil, release your finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion until all the batter is released, scraping with a rubber spatula if needed.
Fry until golden brown, 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve warm.
Funnel Cakes Tips What's the best oil for funnel cake? When frying funnel cake, you'll want to use a refined oil, like canola oil. Refined oils have a higher smoke point and therefore are best for higher-temperature pan- and deep-frying. To maintain a crispy coating on your funnel cake without absorbing the oil and becoming greasy, you’ll want to maintain a temperature of 350-375°. Canola oil is always a good choice because of its neutral flavor and affordability. No canola oil in the cupboard? Here are all the best oils for frying.What can I use if I don't have a funnel? You can still make a funnel cake without a funnel. Simply pour the batter into a large baggie and snip off the end (you can frost cupcakes with a Ziploc bag, too!). Another option is to use a clean squeeze bottle—just snip off more of the tip.Why is my funnel cake falling apart? If your funnel cake is falling apart, try chilling the batter in the fridge. This will help if you batter is too thin. You want the batter to be thicker, so it flows evenly from the spout.What toppings can you put on funnel cake? Funnel cakes are delicious with just powdered sugar, or get decadent with tons of toppings! Go for a sundae feel with chocolate syrup, chopped peanuts, cherries and whipped cream. If you add some cinnamon and sugar while warm, you’ll get a fun twist on homemade churros.

Test Kitchen TipsUnless otherwise specified, Taste of Home recipes are tested with lightly salted butter. Unsalted, or sweet, butter is sometimes used to achieve a buttery flavor, such as in shortbread cookies or buttercream frosting. In these recipes, added salt would detract from the buttery taste desired. When making the filling, be sure to gently fold in the whipped topping just until it’s blended. The topping will deflate if it’s overhandled. If you love this recipe, you won't be able to get enough of these peanut butter desserts.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup each raisins and chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pans for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
Chewy Oatmeal Cookie Tips What kind of oats are the best for cookies? Old-fashioned and quick-cooking oats are best for baking cookies. Old-fashioned oats are chewy, nutty and have a flat, full shape. Quick-cooking (also called rolled oats) have been pressed and cut into smaller pieces. Although this recipe calls for quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oats work just as well if you prefer a heartier, chewier oat in your cookies. Learn more about the different types of oats.Why are my oatmeal cookies hard? Overmixing is usually the culprit when you end up with dry, tough cookies. Mix the ingredients at a slow speed, or better yet, mix by hand with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until the ingredients are combined. Also, when a cookie recipe calls for butter, don’t substitute shortening, which can produce a drier cookie.Are oatmeal cookies good for you? Oatmeal cookies may appear nutritious compared to other decadent treats, but they still pack plenty of calories. If you are calorie-conscious, check out these healthy cookie recipes.

For hot cocoa, in a small saucepan, mix cocoa, sugar and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Stir in milk until blended; transfer to a shallow bowl. Cool completely.
For tiramisu, in a heatproof bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until blended. Place over simmering water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, heat mixture until a thermometer reads 160°, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat. With the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat on high speed until thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone; beat on medium speed until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
In another bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add remaining sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
To assemble, spread a third of the cream mixture into a 13x9-in. baking dish. Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers halfway into cooled cocoa; arrange over cream. Repeat layers. Spread with remaining cream mixture. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and cinnamon. Refrigerate, covered, at least 8 hours or overnight.
