In this pie, one cup of berries is cooked to form a syrup. The remaining three cups of berries are heated in this syrup just enough to turn the blueberries a midnight blue with overtones of purple. The filling is then spooned into a prebaked crust. If you've made the crust ahead, this pie comes together in minutes. By dessert time, the filling is set.

(with Caramel Variation)
Baking time: 25 to 35 minutes
This brownie, baked in a tart pan, gets its moistness from cream cheese and its fudginess from the best quality cocoa and chocolate. Little puddles of ganache are poured into holes made with the handle of a wooden spoon in the brownie after it has baked. Chocolate never gets better than this.
