blood orange granita

If you’re looking for a light and refreshing dessert for Valentine’s Day (or anytime), making a granita is an easy as it gets. You can use any flavor juice you like, just be sure it freshly squeezed, or a high quality bottled juice. Every juice will taste different and vary in sweetness so taste your juice first before you begin to know how sweet it is. For something with a red tint, try blood orange juice.

vanilla bean cheesecake

These cute and highly addictive vanilla bean cheesecakes are one of our favorites for entertaining. Starting with room temperature cream cheese and eggs ensures a smooth texture in the finished batter. We absolutely love the crunch from the sugar on top, combining our love of creme brûlée with our favorite cheesecake recipe.
