Once you've made traditional German-style soft pretzels from scratch (using your stand mixer, of course), you'll never settle for those street-vendor imposters again. This airy, soufflé-like take on cheesecake is super simple to make, thanks to a minimal ingredient list and plenty of whipping from the stand mixer.

Many of the fine-quality bittersweet chocolates sold at supermarkets typically contain 50 to 60 percent cocoa solids. Garlicky brown butter (beaten into the dough and brushed on top) makes these rolls especially fragrant and delicious.
These individual baked meringues get extra flair (and a gorgeous magenta hue) from the addition of pulverized dried hibiscus flowers. The genoise-style sponge cake includes melted butter for a tender, flavorful base, and sour cream adds brightness to the whipped-cream filling.
Smoothing them out with an oiled offset spatula and letting the first layer cool completely before proceeding. Is key to their texture and flavor; look for it alongside jams and jellies in the supermarket, or at farmers’ markets, or make your own.
Flavorless sheets of edible wafer paper keep the strips from sticking to one another. Yes, the dough is buttery, but replacing the traditional brown sugar in the filling with puréed dates is a nutritional game-changer.
To encourage the soufflé to rise sky-high, grease the inside of the baking dish with butter and sprinkle it with sugar. The sugar prevents the soufflé from sticking to the sides while helping the cake to climb up to the loftiest heights.
Making a light, airy mousse from of store-bought peanut butter is suddenly simple with a combo of your stand mixer's paddle and whisk attachments. Laden with chocolate, butter, and old-world charm, this baba is luscious when served as dessert, an afternoon snack, or breakfast.
Just spread pesto onto a puff pastry, add some Parmesan, and twist. Give your fried pickles a major upgrade with these oven-baked chips, complete with a horseradish chipotle sauce.
