9 Speedy-But-Special Recipes to Make Right Now

It’s never too late to bake! [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 526 [Rich Chocolate Mousse ]( Jessica Battilana Staff Editor I did not make my fruitcake six weeks ago, I did not order my favorite panettone before it sold out for the season, and I did not start shopping for gifts before Thanksgiving. But even those of us who don't plan far in advance still want to bake! And so I come to you today with some ideas for festive desserts and breakfast bakes that can be made quickly, with ingredients you likely already have on hand. Forget fussy and time-consuming bûche de Noël: There is no crowd-pleaser like a big bowl of [chocolate mousse](. Our streamlined method uses fewer bowls, requires only 20 minutes of hands-on time, and is rich, airy, and intensely chocolatey. Top with [whipped cream]( (plain or [peppermint](!). For lovers of chocolate and spice, our new recipe for [Glazed Chocolate Gingerbread Cake]( is the thing to make; it takes under 90 minutes, start to finish, and the [cinnamon- and ginger](-spiked glaze gives the tender cake big holiday energy. As long as you have a loaf of staling bread, you won't need many other ingredients to make a comforting bread pudding. This [maple walnut]( one is a great place to start, or, if you were the lucky recipient of a panettone, try this [Panettone Bread Pudding with Lemon Filling]( (and yes, it can be served for dessert and/or breakfast). Speaking of breakfast, tomorrow morning delight everyone with a batch of fresh [Gingerbread Waffles](, the perfect-for-a-crowd [Sheet Pan French Toast](, super simple [Cranberry Oat Scones]( (with a [sparkling sugar]( crust), or a big pile of warm [biscuits]( and eggs. Or wow 'em with a pan of [Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting](: make and shape the rolls this afternoon, then bake and frost them tomorrow (check out the "tips" section of the recipe for do-ahead details).
