Tips that make the difference
What separates a recipe that works from one that falls flat.
Well-chilled pastry dough
Dough rested for 30 minutes in the fridge is easier to cut and shrinks less as it bakes.
Blind bake
For a fresh fruit tart, bake the crust on its own, lined with parchment and dried beans: it stays crisp.
Make it the day before
Tiramisu, mousses, dessert cups and flans are better after a night in the refrigerator.
Seasonal fruit
It has more flavor and needs less sugar: adapt the recipe to what's at the market.
Dessert cups and spoon desserts
Tiramisu, mousse, flan, dessert cups: make them the day before, serve them well chilled.
With seasonal fruit
Strawberries in spring, peaches and nectarines in summer, pears and apples in the fall.
More chocolate
Yule log, mousse cake, chocolate mousse: for an intense finish.
Holiday desserts
Christmas Yule logs, galette des rois, Easter eggs: the desserts on the calendar.

Your questions
What's a quick and easy dessert to make?
Fruit dessert cups, chocolate mousse or an apple tart on a store-bought crust come together in under 30 minutes. The “Easy” filter in the list groups them together.
What dessert can I make the day before?
Tiramisu, chocolate mousse, Parisian custard tart (flan pâtissier), panna cotta and dessert cups all benefit from a night in the refrigerator: on the day, all that's left is to serve.
How do I avoid a soggy tart crust?
Blind bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes before filling it, or sprinkle it with almond flour or crushed cookies: they soak up the fruit juices.
