Peach-a-Berry Cobbler

When Better Homes and Gardens magazine asked readers to name their favorite BHG recipe, many readers nominated this one. Why? It's the juicy combination of two fruits and the "so fluffy" topping. It's equally delicious made with fresh or frozen fruits.

Chocolate-Raspberry Bites

These thin cookies -- assembled from purchased chocolate wafer cookies, jam, and a frosting made with melted chocolate chips -- look so sophisticated and taste like treats from a French pastry shop. Chocolate wafer cookies are sporadically -- and sometimes just seasonally -- stocked. When you spot them, purchase a couple of extra packages to store in the freezer.

Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

Churn a batch of ice cream that's way more delicious and decadent than the kind you buy in pints at the supermarket. Once you've mastered this easy homemade ice cream, try flavor variations with double chocolate, strawberry and balsamic vinegar, and caramelized bananas.

Pecan Pie

When you've had your fill of our best pecan pie recipe (but really, is that possible?), try this same old-fashioned pie recipe with macadamias instead of pecans. Since its filling calls for just six ingredients, this low-fuss Pecan Pie recipe will instantly become one of your holiday dessert favorites.
