Crêpes Suzette Flambé Recipe

The ultimate indulgence – cookie dough, but make it ice cream! The slight risk? Well, technically it’s raw cookie dough… Use pasteurized eggs, people!
Rum Baba Flambé Recipe
A boozy delight! This rum-soaked cake is a classic, but the flambéing adds an extra layer of delicious danger (again, safely!).

The classic Italian dessert, with its creamy texture and coffee flavor. But the use of raw eggs means you need to be careful about sourcing them. Pasteurization is key!
