Individual Warm Chocolate Truffle Cakes

Individual warm chocolate truffle cakes are perfect for any occasion.I love individual desserts for a few reasons. First, it’s always fun to get your very own dessert. Second, it’s portion control and third, there are no tempting leftovers. These individual warm chocolate truffle cakes are rich and delicious but not too heavy to indulge in after a meal. That makes them ideal for dessert after a holiday meal like Easter.

These individual warm chocolate truffle cakes are really a chocolate lover’s dream come true and if you like truffles, you will definitely enjoy this dessert. It’s a fairly dense cake but moist with a melt in your mouth texture.

Make this dessert not only for Easter, but it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’ Day or a small birthday celebration. I just lightly dusted them with confectioners’ sugar but you could top them them with fresh berries and whipped cream was well.

Other recipes on the blog with individual servings include this delicious apple crisp, these chicken pot pies, swiss and asparagus tarts, and individual skillet chocolate chip cookies.

Individual Apple Crisp

I love individual desserts and the apple crisp is no exception. It’s my final recipe as #appleweek comes to a close. This is one of my family’s favorite desserts and it is so easy to whip up. An individual apple crisp is perfect to make for one or many. This was originally inspired from a Taste of Home recipe that was for one serving. I adapted it for my family of four and I wrote the recipe below for four servings. This is the week 12 recipe in the 52 Week New Recipe Challenge.

It’s not impossible to make this dessert in advance but if you choose to do so, toss the apple slices in a bit of apple juice to keep them from browning. Many people think you can only use lemon juice but apple juice is acidic too and won’t alter the flavor of the apple. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the crisps. The topping on the crisp is just that, crisp. While it’s really perfect just the way it is, you could add some chopped pecans for extra crunch.

Individual Apple Crisp Ice Cream

If you read my blog regularly, you know I have two boys. There was no way I was serving this dessert to them without ice cream. Fortunately I had vanilla in my freezer and was able to make it a la mode. I thought about it later but my Mom would have loved this dessert topped with cinnamon ice cream. It would have been a nice alternative to the vanilla. No need to buy cinnamon ice cream, just add ground cinnamon in small increments, tasting as you go along. This way you don’t add too much because cinnamon can be overpowering. You also make only what you need.

So, as #appleweek ends today, I hope you have enjoyed all of the recipes and projects from me and my blogger friends. I’ve had fun finding and developing recipes as well as making everything this week. Happy Fall!

All-American Patriotic Dessert Tarts

All-American Patriotic Dessert Tart

Patriotic dessert tarts are a great way to celebrate the 4th of July. Decorating with red, white and blue puts me in the mood to celebrate the freedoms that our country affords us. It’s a time to remember those who have served our country to give us those freedoms as well. Our founding father’s endured a great deal for what they believed.

Gathering with friends and family for picnics or backyard barbecues is a highlight of the holiday, along with fireworks of course. Sometimes, when having a group of people over you need one or two easy, throw together dishes. I don’t think there is a simpler dessert to make for a group. Plus, it looks festive. While the recipe makes 6 individual tarts, because you only make the pudding then assemble the tarts, it’s easy to make more. I used vanilla pudding but these would also be delicious with white chocolate pudding.
