These individual cheesecakes are a healthier twist on the classic dessert with dried pears, gingersnaps and canola oil. Sugar plums will be dancing in your head with each bite!
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
This classic cake was made famous by women's magazines after canned pineapple became available in slices. The recipe here gets an update with canola oil keeping it moist, light and low in saturated fat; the addition of tender, whole-grain pastry flour; and a lovely kick of crystallized ginger to mingle with the pineapple in the caramelized topping. You and your guests will be turned upside down by it!
Pistachio Baklava
This honey syrup-glazed baklava is a sweet, nutty treat that’s simple to assemble. Brushing the layers of phyllo with canola oil instead of butter yields a light and flaky result with much less saturated fat. See the recipe video below.
Molten Chocolate Cake
With all the elegance of a plated dessert and all the gooey goodness of a brownie, these individual chocolate cakes are a perfect finish to any special meal. Canola oil in place of butter produces a tender crumb while reducing the saturated fat content. See the recipe video below.
Star Anise and Orange Infused Canola Ice Cream
This sophisticated ice cream features the complementary flavors of star anise and orange, and is creamy but lower in saturated fat than its peers because it is made with canola oil. Two separate infusions – one with milk and one with canola oil – amplify the aromatics in the final dessert. See the recipe video below.
Snow Capped Fudge Cookies
A moist chocolate cookie with a unique coconut topping.
Candy Cane Whoopie Pies

Sinful Bliss Cupcakes with Sweetened Whipped Cream Frosting
Devil's food chocolate cupcakes are topped with a light and fluffy frosting. Canola oil in the cake batter keeps them tender.
