Desserts: Fruit, Cream Cheese & Frosting

Oliver Smith, dessert curator – fruit desserts, muffins, frostings and easy no-fuss sweets.

Profile:

Oliver Smith's recipes center on desserts: fruit-forward bakes such as a summer peach crisp or baked peaches with Greek yogurt, soft muffins with cream cheese and pumpkin, and cupcakes paired with fast frostings. Nearly all of his work sits in Desserts, with a handful of recipes in Baking and the occasional savory or lighter dish.

What sets his recipes apart is how approachable they are. Many are built around five- to ten-minute preparations, such as honey butter, a blueberry cream cheese quesadilla or a vanilla pudding frosting, so a sweet treat does not have to mean an afternoon in the kitchen. Longer projects, like a moist vanilla cupcake batch, come with stated times and straightforward instructions. He also has a soft spot for novelty: seasonal party snacks and dips with cheerful names, made from familiar pantry ingredients.

If you are looking for a dessert for a weeknight, a potluck or a holiday table, browse Oliver's recipes and pick the one that fits the time you have.
