Gingerbread pizza dough covered in brown sugar ricotta, walnuts, and sugared cranberries. Serve it as an elegant dessert at your holiday party. Every so often, a product comes along and inspires recipe greatness. It might sound a little weird, but I love it when I’m tasked with creating a recipe that uses a specific kitchen …

Dear Internet: I have made a refrigerator pie to end all refrigerator pies. Meet Double Black Diamond Pudding Pie. Layers of Newman’s Own chocolate sandwich cookies soaked in dark and dangerous coffee, rich chocolate pudding made with more of that coffee, and luscious whipped cream are topped with dark and milk chocolate chips.
