Banana Tarte Tatin Recipe, 35 minutes total
This recipe is the easiest dessert to make on short notice. Ripe bananas are always in season and frozen puff pastry can be found in most major grocery stores. Pull the puuf pastry out to thaw while you slice bananas and simmer the rum sauce. Best of all, this recipe is very forgiving. If you simply have no time to make rum sauce from scratch, use store-bought caramel sauce kicked up with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Special Occasion Recipes | ![]() | Dark Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Basic chocolate truffles are so rich they require being eaten slow. Smooth ganache and the proper rolling technique are the secrets of this recipe's success.
INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup heavy cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into very small pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup premium cocoa
PREPARATION:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream just to a boil. Remove from the heat immediately. Add the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract and stir until the mixture - ganache - is completely smooth.
Chill the ganache until it is hard enough to roll into balls. Measuring out a heaping teaspoon, quickly roll the ganache into a ball. Roll the ball in the cocoa powder and chill.
Makes 16 servings.
