6. Almond Cloud Mini Muffins by Chaya Surie Goldberger

These mini muffins are soft, buttery pound cake bites infused with almond flavor and sweetened with condensed milk. Topped with sliced almonds and a dusting of confectioners’ sugar, they’re light, moist, and perfectly poppable.

7. Salted Caramel Latte Hamantashen by Shifra Klein

We originally used chopped chocolate for this recipe, but after further testing, we experimented with a salted caramel ganache—and the results were outstanding. We highly recommend taking the extra few minutes to make this ganache; it truly elevates each bite.

For a fun twist on flavor and appearance, try adding instant espresso powder or instant coffee to the dough. Espresso powder dissolves quickly, creating a striking coffee-marbled effect, while instant coffee takes a bit longer to melt. Simply cover the dough and let it rest for five minutes, then knead it gently to achieve a beautiful swirl. Enjoy!

8. Two-Tone Cinnamon Buns by Brynie Greisman

This recipe starts with a beautiful, easy to work with, soft dough. I offered different choices of fillings to satisfy everyone’s taste. You can keep it all pareve, and it’s still outrageously delicious. I love the cinnamon-cheese combo, which is reminiscent of the Danish they sell in Sesame. Whenever I travel, I know I can’t come home without them. Now we can all savor bakery goods at home!
