Trifle

“在一个不错的玻璃盘中,Trifle是一种示波器。只需要一些商店购买的女士手指(或自制的手指)sponge cake),whipped cream, and some nice fruit tossed with sugar and vanilla." —Gabriel Kreuther, chef ofGabriel Kreuther餐厅在纽约和culinary director of巴卡拉特酒店纽约

曲奇饼干

“One of my favorite holiday cookies is a jammy thumbprint. This versatile and easy-to-make dough is great to have on hand throughout the holiday season. Use it to makeclassic thumbprints充满果酱,奶油或巧克力,或用糖粉卷成雪球。” -鲍比·劳埃德(Bobbie Lloyd),首席烘焙官木兰面包店

Doughnuts

“My favorite holiday dessert for Hanukkah is sfenj. It's an incredibly delicious doughnut fried in oil and then dipped in sugar. At my restaurants, we are using our focaccia dough to make it. It's vegan and kosher, so everyone can enjoy it." —Eyal Shani,以色列厨师和Miznon餐厅连锁店的所有者

“For光明节,是Sufganiyot(donuts) all the way! These little jelly doughnuts are simple to make, and you can use the same frying oil and pan that you already madelatkesin. You can have fun with them and customize the filling to your taste. The key is patience—patience in making the dough properly, letting the dough rise enough, and letting the oil come to the proper frying temperature." —Rachel King, founder and chief development officer ofKaneh Co.

“I'm not usually a sweets person, but brittle is it for me. What I love about brittle is that it's essentially five ingredients and requires very little to no cook and prep time. It's perfect for holiday gifts, and so versatile and easy to make with whatever you add. I do a toasted sesame and gochugaru brittle that's a little savory and spicy or a good, old-fashioned buttery peanut brittle that's equally as satisfying." —LaMara Davidson,chef and founder of玉米面包和泡菜

巧克力巴布卡

“Chocolate babka has to be one of my favorite holiday sweets by far. I make mine with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg in the layers, and it goes perfectly with a尖刺的热巧克力。它是温暖,令人安慰的,非常适合在圣诞节那天放在桌子上供大家吃零食的桌子。”Nathan Hood,行政总厨邮政厅in Charleston

Hand Pies

“整个pie是一个人的事,beauty-until tr导航ansporting it or slicing and serving. My move is to flip the script and make individual手派。With Crisco as the base, the flaky crust comes together quickly and wraps around any brilliant flavor story you or your sous chefs might dream up and bake into these adorable, individual dessert creations."-Christina Tosi, two-time James Beard Award-winning chef and owner of牛奶棒

“这first thing that comes to my mind when you say holiday dessert is pie. The key to any great pie is the crust, and I'm always surprised at how intimated people can be by it. I like to make a simple puff pastry-inspired crust, and the most important part of the process is keeping your butter cold. Pull out your butter, chop it into chunks, and put it in the fridge to chill. Only add it to the dough at the end to mix in, then put it back in the fridge again. As long as you don't melt the butter before you put it into the oven, you'll end up with a light, airy, delicious pie crust to accompany any holiday pie your sweet tooth desires." —Alberto Hernandez,糕点厨师的弗拉斯卡食品和vwin德赢ac米兰葡萄酒vwin德赢ac米兰在博尔德

焦糖奶油松饼

“Airy pâte à choux (choux pastry) are baked and filled with pastry cream and then, with caramel acting as mortar, your tower quickly takes shape. The resulting cream puff tower will delight as a mesmerizing and delicious centerpiece for your holiday table." —迈克尔·洛蒙纳科(Michael Lomonaco), chef and owner of波特之家Hudson Yards Grill在纽约

“每个人都喜欢奶油泡芙,所以这非常适合发表陈述 - 从塔上拔出泡泡!准备一个带有冰浴的大碗,所以当您的焦糖达到所需的颜色时,您可以快速扣下底部锅中的锅以停止烹饪。这将确保所有泡泡上的焦糖是相同的颜色。”-Clarice Lam,pastry chef ofKimika在纽约

南瓜起司蛋糕

南瓜起司蛋糕是一个非常完美的假期甜点。它将两种传统甜点(南瓜派和芝士蛋糕)结合到一道令人难以置信的菜肴中。我的诀窍是使用纯佛蒙特州枫糖浆和杏仁面粉,而不是普通面粉来富集风味。”-Maria Simic,糕点厨师的Cibo E Vino在纽约

Bûche de Noël

“这是圣诞节前夕的法国餐桌上的甜点。我有一年与父亲和妹妹一起做自己的最好的回忆。我们在巴黎逛了一年在过去的几十年中,我们吞噬了我们所花的十分之一的时间!在假期期间,在糕点店里有更多精心设计的版本,但原始版本非常简单。它由一张纸组成。海绵蛋糕撒上奶油,看起来像木木。-Apollonia Poilâne,首席执行官Poilâne Bakery和作者Poilâne: The Secrets of the World-Famous Bread Bakery

米布丁

“我一直迷恋米布丁自从我第一次在巴黎的L'Ami Jean创建版本以来,从那以后,我就对这个主题做了差异。慢煮的奶油米饭,dulce de leche将其送入的碗排成一列,如果有的话,可以用蛋糕或新鲜的季节性水果以及您最喜欢的糖果钻头来捏。我们为我们的卡罗来纳州金米和蜜饯山核桃而使用,因为佐治亚州和低名散装。” -罗伯特·牛顿,行政总厨Fleetingin Savannah

粘性太妃糖布丁

“For me,粘性太妃糖布丁is a staple dessert this time of year. The perfect one needs to be light and fluffy while also being rich and decadent. We serve ours with apricot and ginger jam piped in the middle, and, of course, a generous helping of toffee sauce alongside a scoop of clementine gelato to bring everything together." —Niamh Larkin, executive pastry chef of45 Park Lanein London

“Sticky toffee pudding is one of my favorite desserts to make (and eat) around the holidays. It is comforting, rich, indulgent, and a true showstopper on the table at any holiday gathering. My biggest tip: Use Billington's muscovado light and dark sugar for a super luxurious toffee sauce and toffee pudding." —卡拉·亨里斯(Carla Henriques), executive pastry chef of霍克斯莫尔在纽约

Chocolate Pecan Pie

“In our family, we do chocolate pecan pie. It's a combo of chocolate and胡桃派, and we only eat it this time of the year. Store-bought pie crust is fine as long as you're using really good chocolate and put a bit of salt in the pecans and a lot of butter-Josh Elliott,行政总厨或没有at THesis Hotel Miami

“Once you've mastered a basicpie dough,开始玩口味。我完全支持为苹果或梨派或山核桃馅饼烤坚果添加锋利的切达干酪。让我们在巧克力奶油派的外壳,柠檬皮,野生蓝莓派的皮或撒上桃子馅饼的百里香中,再走一步。为什么馅饼馅料都有所有有趣的口味?” -Zac Young,糕点厨师和创始人Sprinkletown

Torró (Nougat)

我的根源是加泰罗尼亚人,所以我最喜欢的甜点是Torró,在每个加泰罗尼亚的圣诞节中都必须一个!Torró在这里被称为Nougat,在Catalunya被带到了一个新的水平。显然有一些非常传统的牛轧糖,这近在咫尺。但是它成为我最喜欢的原因是因为质地和风味的多样性,从蛋黄到基于巧克力的范围。Ursula XVII,巧克力和创始人Disset Chocolate

热可可

“没有什么比一杯更令人安慰了hot chocolate假期。对我们来说,这一切都是从富人开始巧克力ganachethat creates a silky, smooth cup of cocoa. You can then customize the hot chocolate to make it yours. Here at the bakery, we serve our Blossoming Hot Chocolate, which comes with a marshmallow flower that blooms when it's placed into the cup. At home, try adding a dash of vanilla or infusing the milk with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or topping with a flavored whipped cream like brown sugar or lavender Chantilly." —Dominique Ansel, James Beard Award-winning pastry chef and owner of多米尼克•安塞尔面包店和车间p在纽约和soon-to-debut Dominique Ansel Las Vegas at Caesars Palace

Bread Pudding

“With bread pudding, you can use up leftover ingredients from your dinner like fruits, nuts, and spice and incorporate them in your dessert. My favorite flavor combination is chocolate chips and bananas, and I serve it with caramel ice cream." —克劳迪娅·马丁内斯(Claudia Martinez),糕点厨师在Miller Unionin Atlanta

Sugar Cookies

“这sugar cookie如此通用,可以说是最简单的节日饼干之一。混合面团非常简单,但是找到正确的厚度,而在台面上不使用太多面粉会更具挑战性。在推出之前,保持面团的冷藏总是很长的路要走,而切割器也会撒上粉料。我喜欢我的饼干,所以我总是建议烘烤,直到边缘稍加棕色的陈列,这可以提供足够的结构,以便饼干可以保持在一起,但仍然有脆皮和耐嚼的叮咬。他们可以用彩色上面royal icing(my personal favorite), buttercream, or even candy!" —Justin Gaspar, head baker atHommage Bakehouse在圣地亚哥

“当您在假期制作饼干时,请记住这三个技巧:一旦成分聚集在面团中,停止混合面团,将其放入冰箱中直至冷。滚出和切割的过程。将面粉轻轻面粉,将面团滚动以防止其粘在表面上,但不要添加太多面粉或会使面团干燥。将面团切入面团后节日的形状,将其放回冰箱之前再烘烤15分钟。冷温会在烘烤时使饼干保持理想的状态。”-劳拉·沃伦(Laura Warren), executive pastry chef ofPuffer Malarkey集体(Animae,草药和木材, and草药和海)

奶油布鲁利

“One of my favorite desserts to master for any holiday is a crème brûlée. It's so simple to make and can be prepped ahead, and nothing beats the crispy, sugary crust on top. I love the enhancement a little bit of Great Jones Bourbon adds to the dish. One thing I always try to remember is that it's best to let the custard set overnight."-亚当·拉克辛(Adam Raksin), chef of网格在纽约

Pavlova

“帕夫洛娃(Pavlova)非常适合假期,因为它可以提前制作和存放。甜点非常通用,可以轻松地适应每个季节的适合,夏季有新鲜的浆果,秋天浸渍了无花果,并在冬季保留。“-约翰·弗雷泽(John Fraser), chef of热情在西好莱坞版

“While other holiday desserts can be heavy and dense, pavlova stands alone as a lighter and brighter alternative while still being decadent. It serves as a blank canvas for whatever winter flavor combinations you choose. I love to feature seasonal ingredients like cranberries, pomegranates, and citrus in a curd that adds brightness to the end of a holiday meal, while whipped cream adds creaminess to contrast with the curd. But the real star is the pavlova'smeringuebase, with its crisp, crunchy shell and soft, marshmallow cloud-like center. The meringue shell can be made a day or two in advance, allowing for an easier time entertaining. This dessert is also gluten-free, and can be made dairy-free, too." —Ben Yusko,糕点厨师的黑莓农场的谷仓在TN

Apple Crumble

“I love to bring a crumble when I'm invited for dinner or serve it while entertaining over the holidays because I can adapt the recipe to anyone's dietary restrictions by easily making it gluten-free (with rolled oats and gluten-free, all-purpose flour) and vegan (by subbing coconut oil in for grass-fed butter). The trick is in the apple filling; I love to grate a little bit of fresh ginger (readily available at most farmers' markets this time of year) into the filling before I bake the crumble. It balances out the sweet with some spice and leaves everyone asking for your secret ingredient!" —萨布丽娜·鲁丁,创始人Spring Café Aspen在纽约

苹果反烤苹果塔

“Apple tarte tatin is a great twist on a classic apple pie—just make sure you get yourself a nice pint of vanilla ice cream to go with it. Pro tip: Make sure you get good quality apples. The texture of the apples is key, so make sure you don't overcook or undercook them. Use a nonstick pan and slowly work your apples into the pan to make sure that as they cook, there is no space between them. Once they reach the texture and color you want, place the pan in an ice bath to prevent them from overcooking and to settle them in place. Once cool, you can cover with puff pastry and finish baking in the oven." —Adonay Tafur, chef of大阪迈阿密

Walnut Snowball Cookies

“我们喜欢在假期期间制作滚雪球饼干。它们不仅很美味,而且饼干也有美丽,冬天的外观,因为它们以其慷慨的糖粉涂料而恰当地命名。这些版本的咸味版本与佩科里诺和山核桃一起。我们版本中的咸,浓郁的pecorino奶酪为与坚果,甜山核桃完美搭配的饼干增添了丰富性。我们建议我们在烘烤之前先将饼干面团冷却冰箱,然后再烘烤,然后再烘烤,所以“在烤箱中过度扩张。这也使假期准备变得更加容易,因为您可以提前几天准备面团,然后稍后再烘烤。”-安吉·里托, chef and owner of Michelin-starredDon Angie在纽约和co-author ofItalian American
