Sumptuous Sugarless Desserts with Brian Levy

In his new book Good & Sweet, Brian Levy mines a new world of desserts—one that few bakers have explored—where there’s no need for cane sugar or coconut sugar, or maple syrup or honey, or for anything like stevia. He deploys fruit (dried, juiced, and fresh), nuts, grains, dairy, and fermented products to create sweet dessert and breakfast treats whose flavors are enriched by whole-food, feel-good ingredients.

In this class, you’ll learn some of the secret techniques and ingredients that enabled the conversion of delicious, decadent desserts and breakfast treats into nutritious indulgences.

We will make and taste:

• Sweet Corn Buttermilk Biscuits, which will be used to make Strawberry Sweet Corn Shortcake
• Finnish Blueberries & Cream Tart
• Pistachio Cake
