For a milestone birthday, I tackled Claire Saffitz’s showstopping croquembouche: a caramel-glazed tower of cream puffs filled with vanilla, chocolate, and black sesame pastry cream. Between the crisp shell, airy choux, and silky filling, it was pure dessert magic – and the perfect way to ring in a new decade.
Claire Saffitz’s Meyer Lemon Tart is the perfect winter pick-me-up. A buttery, crisp crust layered with sweet raspberry jam and topped with a smooth, tangy Meyer lemon curd enriched with Greek yogurt and lemon zest creates an irresistible balance. Bright, fresh, and delicious – this tart is sure to cure your winter blues.
