Chocolate Icing

Yes, it's a shortcut in a microwave. It's also a gooey, fudgy, wildly good chocolate cake.

Reminiscent of a classic diner dessert, this chocolate cream pie offers pure comfort in a cookie crust.

Consider every birthday cake, brownie, and cupcake covered (in this frosting, that is).

Tangy and sunny, this curd can be made with either fresh or frozen pulp.

Fluffier, fresher, and fancier than anything from a tub or can.

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

Make this versatile caramel at home with our slow-simmered method using milk and sugar—or take one of two sweetened condensed milk shortcuts.

These decadent brownies feature a sweet, minty topping complemented by a rich dark chocolate ganache and mini chocolate chips for added texture.
