You have several options open to you.
You can create a recipe book, simply sell the recipes one by one to individuals for $1 a piece or by selling it to a manufacturer or you can actually go into making and marketing the desserts themselves.
It all depends on how much work you want to do.
Simply selling the recipes themselves requires a classified ad in a food magazine or something along the lines of the National Enquirer... I do not have the slightest clue how lucrative that might be.
Creating a cookbook is an interesting project, but it not inexpensive to create unless you have the means to fund it or a publisher who wants to pay for it. Without a "name" behind it, such as, oh, I dunno, Gordon Ramsay, or Bobby Flay, not many publishers will jump on it, unless you've got something so special, they can't help but believe it will sell enough to justify the expense.
If you can convince a manufacturer to buy the recipe from you, you may have a valuable commodity, but that will take a lot of door knocking and sampling of the recipes before you will find the manufacturer who will run with the recipe.
Making and marketing the desserts yourself is going to cost you no less than a $5,000 cash outlay just to find out whether or not your recipe can be made for professional marketing by a co-packer.
Unless you get yourself into an incubator kitchen at minimal cost and make it yourself. Which of course is a whole nother ball of wax. You can't just whip up these desserts in your home kitchen and then sell them. There is a whole slew of regulations that food manufacturers are required to follow at various levels of Government.
So... really, how much work do you want to do? I don't mind putting a whack of time into giving you as much information as I can, but I'd rather focus on what you really want to do before answering.
