As any Disney Park fanatic can tell you, it’s not a visit to the Magic Kingdom without a helping of this tropical, dairy-free, soft-serve–like dessert. Now you can make magic at home.

These little cakes remind me of a more sophisticated, stripped-back cupcake. Full of flavor with a dense but chewy crumb, it's like frangipane meets fairy cake. Beautifully simple to make, the biggest pitfall is not greasing your tins properly.

Pomegranate seeds look stunning sprinkled simply over the top of this pavlova. Their vibrant color really lifts the dessert, and the way they burst in your mouth complements the chewy meringue beautifully. I use sliced canned peaches when peaches are out of season; they work just as well.

No pie plate or tart pan? Fold fresh peaches into a flaky pastry dough and bake on a sheet pan for an easy, no-fuss summer dessert.
