Delicious Dessert Recipes Showcasing Cookware & Stoneware

[pcheframsey]

Hey! Does anyone have a good/easy dessert recipe that showcases the cookware and chef's tools? How about one that showcases stoneware? One that can be done mostly ahead of time? I have a show coming up and the host isn't sure if she is going to do it the end of January or the beginning of February, and she wants to do a dessert recipe. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

any of the skillet cakes will show off the cookware - the Turtle Fudge and the PIneapple Upsode Down are quite impressive.

For stoneware I'd do the Apple Bread Pudding or the Micro Cakes in the Fluted.
