Best Desserts Recipes

Dessert is the course people remember. This collection covers cakes, cookies, pies, bars, and no-bake sweets, with recipes that explain the technique and the reasoning behind every step. We've tested every recipe for the details that matter — the bake cue, the chill time, the storage window — so you can bake with confidence. If you're new to baking, start with the no-bake or sheet-pan recipes before moving to the layer cakes and pies.
