Almond Cake $1.19 per serving
Almond Cake
(4.5)
Inspired by artist Claude Monet’s favorite confection, this cake is subtle in taste, redolent of almond, and a dash of liqueur adds a complementary note. No need to say more—except that if you’ve eaten healthy and saved all week by cooking with us Five Dollar Foodies, here’s a treat.
Chocolate Truffles $1.02 per serving
Chocolate Truffles
(5.0)
These are the creamiest, most decadent treat — pure chocolate truffles. They are remarkably simple to put together and require just 4 basic ingredients. Melt chocolate bars or chips, add a little cream and a bit of butter, and spice them up with vanilla, peppermint, or orange extracts. Roll them in cocoa powder or crushed nuts for an impressive han ... read more

Chocolate-Orange Spiced Banana Bread
(4.7)
We can't get enough of this decadent banana bread. It's a luxurious-tasting dessert (or breakfast, if you're in the mood for a real treat) and you get to use up those ripe bananas you have sitting around. Chocolate and orange (from its juice and zest) complement each other nicely, and a touch of spice adds a foodie twist to traditional banana bread ... read more

Mulled Wine $3.59 per serving
Mulled Wine
Winter is here, the holidays are near. We are in the mood for a cozy libation to enjoy at home around the fire. Mulled wine couldn't be easier to make, and you can use any inexpensive red wine (even boxed wine). We made this version with a merlot, though garnacha, tempranillo, pinot noir, or any blend will work nicely. We added cinnamon, whole clov ... read more
Rum Chocolate Ricotta $1.62 per serving
Rum Chocolate Ricotta
(4.0)
Chocolate, honey, and rum whipped together with ricotta cheese make for a denser, more intense dessert than traditional chocolate mousse. Think of it as the best of mousse and chocolate pudding combined. You can use farmer’s cheese rather than ricotta if you prefer. Add a little extra rum and whipped cream if you've had a long day!
