White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Scones
White chocolate and macadamia nut is a proven winning combo in cookies, so it’s no surprise that the duo is right at home between the flaky layers of a scone. Each scone is blanketed in a buttery caramel glaze, a few more macadamia nuts for crunch, and some flakes of sea salt for an elegant finish.\

No Churn Papaya Ice Cream

What is there to say about no-churn papaya ice cream? So much. First of all, it’s way easier to make than regular ice cream, since all you have to do is whip up heavy cream with sweetened condensed milk and fold in some papaya. No special equipment needed! Not to mention, it’s delicious, too. Scoop right out of the freezer or turn into decadent sundaes with roasted pineapple, toasted coconut flakes, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Coconut cake Doughnuts
The beauty of making doughnuts at home is that you don’t have to wait in line or feel bad about eating seconds, or…thirds. And these are so delicious, you’ll probably want the whole batch. The batter has coconut cream and nutmeg for a delicious tropical vibe, and after frying you’ll toss the doughnuts in a cinnamon-spiked coconut-sugar mixture. For a brunch treat, serve with coffee, or if you’re serving as dessert, a rum-spiked cocktail would pair perfectly.

Mango Pound Cake
Here’s a fun twist on your average quick bread—a not-too-sweet loaf that folds in fresh chopped mango, while a blend of coconut oil and melted butter makes for a perfectly moist texture. Not only does coconut oil add delicious tropical flavor, it draws out the floral notes of mango. If you by some miracle have leftover cake, griddle up thick slices in melted butter. Bonus points for topping with a scoop of ice cream or mango sorbet.

Salted Pineapple Lime Granita
A great dessert hits many different flavor notes. Case in point: this refreshing granita recipe. You’ve got your sweet and floral pineapple, a tart spike of lime, and a fiery ginger syrup to tie it all together. If you’ve never had a granita, think of it like a grown-up snow cone. The key is to let the mixture freeze and then rake it with a fork to create melt-in-your-mouth icy flakes. The next step is cueing up hot summer night, beach, or fun barbecue to enjoy your frosty treat.

Flourless Chocolate Skillet cake

If you’re more of a chocolate person, this skillet cake is a winner. And, let’s be honest, an ideal canvas for coffee (or vanilla, or, what the heck, more chocolate) ice cream.

Lemony Almond Macaroons

Packing up a little sweet treat to go is a classy way to send your guests off. Lemony Almond Macaroons are a brightened up version of the chewy favorite. Place them in cello bags and tie with a little kitchen twine. I guarantee everyone will eat them in the car home.

Mixed Berry Biscuit Cobbler
The warm, fluffy biscuits are the real star here, and have uses far beyond cobbler. Scoop them onto a baking sheet and bake until golden, then build strawberry shortcakes or serve with warm stone fruit.
