New York CheesecakeDesserts

New York Cheesecake

Dense, tall and barely sweet, baked in a water bath and then cooled with the patience of a saint. Every crack in a cheesecake is a cooling mistake, not a baking one.

Deep-Dish Apple PieDesserts

Deep-Dish Apple Pie

Vanilla Custard Ice CreamDesserts

Vanilla Custard Ice Cream

An egg-yolk custard churned to something dense and slow-melting. Shop-bought ice cream is mostly whipped-in air; this is the opposite, and you can taste every bit of the difference.

CremeschnitteDesserts
