New England desserts can be made at home if you’re feeling inspired and have the patience to mix, bake, and prepare these traditional delicacies.
Say “Whoopie!” to This Delectable Dessert
Like a cake in sandwich form, a whoopie pie consists of two chocolate “buns” with a center of light and fluffy frosting. Since making whoopie pies involves precise measurements and lots of mixing, it’s helpful to have a kitchen assistant like your spouse or child. Who knows, maybe baking whoopie pies could become your family’s newest holiday tradition.
Experience Old New England with This Traditional Treat
Indian pudding dates back to the time before America was settled. Simple crops like corn grew rampantly, making this grain an easily accessible ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Traditional Indian pudding combines cornmeal, molasses, and spices like cinnamon for a dessert that is as comforting as it is easy to make.
Skip the Mix, Bake a Batch of Memories
Cookies and the holiday season go hand in hand, whether you choose to give them as gifts or enjoy them with friends and family. When it comes to baking cookies inspired by New England, nothing beats the classic Tollhouse cookie which originated in Whitman, Massachusetts in the 1930’s. The cookie recipe is quick, but the memories you’ll make as you bake them will last a lifetime.
Start a New Holiday Tradition
Whether your new holiday tradition is traveling to New England experiencing the regionally-inspired flavors or desserts prepared by an award-winning chef, or staying cozy in your own home and creating a New England dessert with your family, trying the mouthwatering flavors of the North East will make your holiday season even sweeter.
