38Baklava Cheesecake
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONBaklava is already one of our not-too-sweet dessert faves, so turning it into a cheesecake felt like an obvious way to take things to the next level. The crust is made from layers of butter-brushed phyllo dough, chopped walnuts and pistachios, and a hearty drizzle of honey, just like a traditional baklava. 😍

There's a hint of cardamom in there to add intrigue, as well. The cake then gets a thin layer of cream cheese frosting for a tangy addition that perfectly ties it all together.

22German Chocolate Cake
AMANDA GRYPHONThis is a sweet, not-too-chocolatey cake that is filled and frosted with rich, sticky coconut and pecan filling. The toasted coconut and pecans mixed with evaporated milk and butter to make a custardy, almost caramel-like filling that is dangerously delicious. It's truly what makes this cake so unique.

21Éclair Cake
PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: SPENCER RICHARDSTraditional pâte à choux, the French dough used to make classic éclairs and profiteroles, can be a difficult pastry to make, so for this cheater version, we use graham crackers. They're not technically anything like an éclair, but they're still great for layering in this cake and become soft as the cake chills (sort of like in an icebox cake!).
