Slow Cooker
Cubano Sandwiches
This recipe came about because I didn't have pepperoncini for my usual Italian pork recipe so I used pickles instead. It reminded me so much of a Cuban sandwich that I added the ham and Swiss cheese to complete the dish. Instead of adding cheese to the slow cooker, you can also build the sandwiches and top with sliced cheese. Place under the broiler to melt. —Kristie Schley, Severna Park, Maryland

Panettone Bread Pudding
One of the best things about sweet panettone bread pudding is its versatility. It’s delicious served warm right out of the oven, but it can also be served at room temperature or even cold. Top slices of the bread pudding with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or the best vanilla ice cream you can find. Warm slices of the bread pudding are delicious topped with sweet sauces, like caramel sauce, lemon dessert sauce or hard sauce made with nutmeg and rum.

Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bark
I made these decadent chocolate caramel crunch bars and took them to a reunion with my sorority sisters last fall. We all gathered in a cabin in the woods and shared desserts around the fire. These were the perfect easy-to-eat bars.

Desserts
Creamy Pineapple Sherbet
Too much ice in sherbet usually has the same causes as too much ice in ice cream: too much water and too little fat, as previously discussed. It may be that the pineapple you pureed was so juicy that there was a little too much juice in the recipe. It may also be that the dairy you used didn’t have enough fat. It could be that you had both too much juice and too little fat simultaneously. This is also why ice cream recipes tend to use cream and whole milk, rather than skim milk; the lack of fat allows the liquid in the recipe to turn into watery slush. Make the recipe as instructed with heavy whipping cream, and when you cut the pineapple, place it in a strainer for a few minutes to let excess juice drip off.
Desserts
Strawberry Crisp
This recipe is pretty much vegan to begin with, except butter. Use vegan butter instead of the real deal and you’re good to go.

Velveeta Fudge
This fudge Velveeta cheese is great on its own, but if you want to pair it with something, we recommend you go à la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cake Mix Cookie Bars
If you don’t make desserts often, sweetened condensed milk might not be a staple in your kitchen. You can use a couple of substitutes if you can’t get to the store to buy some. One option is making your own sweetened condensed milk using milk and sugar; the result won’t be as thick or caramelized, but it will do. Other sweetened condensed milk substitutes exist, including using evaporated milk or coconut milk.
