33 CHAI DESSERT RECIPES: CRISP FLAVOR

Chai lattes may not be your absolute favorite, but these 33 chai dessert recipes may definitely change your mind. Cook up one for your family this holiday season…

 




1. Chocolate-Dipped Chai Spiced Raw Macaroons


We are entering the time of year where cookie plates abound and there’s nothing but sweets as far as the eye can see. At first, this can be a delightful turn of events, but after a short while all of it can get to be a little too much. This year, I have a few healthier cookie recipes that I will be adding to my traditional cookie plates for a little more wholesomeness.


2. Bourbon Chai Caramel Sauce


This is ironic since a little over a year ago you couldn’t tempt me with anything chai flavored and I had no desire to have caramel by the heaping spoonful. Now I’d like to drown in the bowl below.


3. Lavender Chai Shortbread


Lavender Chai Shortbread, a buttery, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth wedge of goodness, all dressed up for the holiday season with icing and sprinkles, and with the lovely flavor of a lavender chai tea.


4. Masala Chai Cake


A very unusual cake but the flavors will surprise you. This Masala Chai Cake is moist and delicious with a light essence of aromatic chai combined with spices and lots of roasted hazelnuts. Even if your not a chai lover, you’re going to love this.

5. Cashew Butter, Chai, & Chocolate


Chocolate. Chai. Cashew Butter. Cups. Pretty much a fancy pants Reese cup without any crap and way more flavor. You want this in your life. Trust me. Are you ready to give them a try?


6. Mini Chai-Spiced Pear Pies


I started with ripe, but firm, pears and immersed them in chai-inspired spices, including a pinch of black pepper that gives these mini pies a little kick. Topped with a classic flaky pie crust, one bite of these Mini Chai-Spiced Pear Pies and it’s like fall appeared in your kitchen. Enjoy!


7. Chai Latte Blondies


Chai lattes are my drink of choice. I’m not one for coffee, much to my husband’s disappointment, but chai lattes – I could drink them ALL day. These Chai Spiced Blondie Bars make all my chai-covered dreams come true. They have a deliciously soft texture with a homemade mix of spices infused into the bars themselves.


8. Vanilla Chai Latte Coffee Cake


This Vanilla Chai Latte Coffee Cake recipe combines the rich, warm flavors of chai with the all of the classic coffee cake flavors. It’s an easy coffee cake recipe that is transformed into a perfect fall dessert (or even breakfast treat!), as the flavors are full of sugar, spice, and everything nice.


9. Cinnamon Chip Chai Cookies


I love cinnamon chips and am always looking for a way to use them. Make sure to stock up on them during the holiday season so you have plenty to last during the year.


10. Dirty Chai Eggnog


Eggnog is still banned from our family holiday parties. Last year I made milk punch (spiced milk with whiskey) in hopes of changing my brother’s mind. His extreme disdain for eggs is to blame for our eggnog-less parties. I’m not one to take no for an answer, so I’m trying again this year.


11. Cranberry Chai Spice Thumbprint Cookies


These Cranberry Chai Spice Thumbprint Cookies will be a staple for your holiday cookie table. They’re made with blood oranges, cranberries and cinnamon and they’re SO good!


12. Pumpkin Chai Snickerdoodles


So to cheer myself up a bit, I made pumpkin chai snickerdoodles! OKok, I’ve had these cookies planned for a while now, but the timing to make them could not have been more perfect. And I mean, come on?!? When is anything pumpkin, snickerdoodle AND chai not a good idea?!


Answer: It’s always a good idea!

19. Chai Poached Pears with Whipped Cream


Ever heard the saying, “Fruit is nature’s dessert”? While we agree that fruit is incredibly tasty and can make an excellent dessert, we also believe that certain things are better together. Take baked apple slices and vanilla ice cream. Or fresh berries with a drizzle of honey. These nine fruit dessert recipes focus on the fruit and add a little somethin’ somethin’—just enough to make them feel decadent but not so much that the fruit flavor goes by the wayside.

22. Chai Tea Smoothie


I still remember the first time I had a chai tea many years ago. My friend Lisa and I were at Starbucks – and chai tea lattes were the ‘new thing’ to order (way) back then! I was instantly hooked on the warm spicy flavors, and to this day the taste of chai reminds me of my long-ago friend!


23. Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Chai Ice Cream


I have a great excuse for you to eat cake for breakfast today!


24. Dark Chocolate Cashew Butter Chai Rice Crispy Treats


These Dark Chocolate Chai Cashew Butter Rice Crispy Treats are a grown-up, healthier take on the classic snack we all know and love.

26. Apple Chai Cinnamon Rolls


There’s nothing like waking up on a lazy Saturday morning to the smell of cinnamon rolls. It’s the same scent that makes passing Cinnabon in the mall a true test of willpower. And while they’re definitely not the picture of health (sugar and dough are the two main ingredients, after all), that doesn’t mean you have to totally write off cinnamon buns.


27. Almond Milk Chai Latte
