Maple Custard

Custard is known for its creamy dense texture. This custard is light and creamy as the recipe calls for whipped egg whites.   It is different from your typical custard. Adding your choice of chopped nuts adds a delightful crunch.     CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there.

Maple Nut Biscuit Ring

I really recommend using homemade biscuits. For this recipe, you will need to double the ingredients for the biscuits. The biscuits are soft, fluffy, and they just melt in your mouth. The maple syrup makes a thick, rich glaze that coats every biscuit.     CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there.

I have never been too big on cranberries but this bread was really good! I just know it will be a hit at this year’s family holiday gatherings!

Nutty Maple Bread Pudding

I’ve never made bread pudding over a double boiler before, so I was really interested to try it. It came out pretty good. This recipe calls for only three pieces of bread, when I make it again, I will add 2 additional pieces to firm up the consistency just a bit. This recipe is tasty and a must-try!

White Chocolate Caramel Pecan Bon Bons

I’m not a huge fan of dark chocolate, easily preferring milk chocolate. But my favorite? White chocolate. The sweetness always explodes on my taste buds. I love the creamy, rich flavor, as well as the fact that white chocolate is easy to color in any way I want. I tried it with a chewy caramel pecan candy recipe that I had. They are rich in flavor, creamy, and as chewy as the name implies. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!

This delicious dessert is like eating a flavorful pumpkin pie, a moist fluffy cake, and a delicious maple nut roll, all in one bite.  It is very easy to just throw together and it will taste like you spent hours in the kitchen making this masterpiece.
