Quick desserts

Yes, I know. Completely simple, right? But I simply couldn’t resist…

Being in Belgium and not trying waffles is like being in Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower ;). There are countless recipes for Belgian waffles, varying by region — and in fact, there is no single “true” Belgian waffle recipe. The most famous are Brussels waffles

Funnel cakes are quick, pourable fried treats that are very popular in North America. The batter is poured directly into hot oil (traditionally through a funnel, but it’s much easier to use a bottle with a small hole), then fried and served sweet. They’re incredibly quick

Delicious homemade truffles made with dried fruit, nuts, and a touch of honey. These prunes and date truffles are a wholesome festive treat – perfect as a naturally sweet snack. Highly recommended.

I can already hear you: “Oh, come on – who needs a recipe for crepes?” I used to make them without a proper recipe, simply mixing flour, milk and eggs and getting on with it. But ever since I picked up Michel Roux’s Eggs, this is the only way I make them…

Probably the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten. And those bananas in them… absolutely heavenly! There was a suggestion to serve them with pecans, but they didn’t last long enough… Maybe next time… ;).

It would be a shame not to try this recipe over the May bank holiday. The most popular mango and yoghurt drink – nourishing, refreshing and delicious!

My children’s favourite smoothie. It tastes like strawberry ice cream, with the flavour of banana clearly noticeable. Best served well chilled – highly recommended!

Chocolate Easter nests are a fun way to keep children busy during holiday preparations. All you need to do is give them plenty of space to work, provide the ingredients and… leave them for an hour or two. I guarantee happy, smiling faces covered in chocolate!

Whenever I manage to buy fragrant, beautiful first-of-the-season local strawberries, I immediately want to make pancakes or crêpes to go with them. This time I tried the famous American pancakes recipe by Nigella Lawson — and it did not disappoint.

Blueberry and banana smoothie made with frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries. A simple blend of berries and bananas with yoghurt, lightly sweetened with maple syrup. The original recipe included a small amount of cocoa, which I decided to omit.

Quick, simple and lightly vanilla-flavoured skyr doughnut bites made with natural, thick Icelandic-style yoghurt. They are delicate and soft, and take just moments to prepare – literally no longer than it takes to heat the oil for frying. Could it be any easier?

A creamy dessert that has taken the internet by storm, especially on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. It’s often referred to as a “Japanese yoghurt cheesecake”, as the trend is said to have originated in Japan. This quick and easy dessert requires just two ingredients:

The best waffles I have ever eaten. Michel Roux’s waffle recipe makes wonderfully crisp waffles on the outside and light as a cloud on the inside. They are absolutely delicious — quite possibly the only waffle recipe you’ll ever need!

An easy, no-fail recipe for American-style pancakes. Light, fluffy, and delicious pancakes that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or Pancake Day. Best served with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit.

A healthy fruit breakfast bowl or a wholesome dessert. A delicious strawberry and banana smoothie blended with coconut milk and topped with fresh fruit, seeds, coconut, granola – or anything you like. Add extra frozen fruit to make the smoothie thicker

The best waffles – crisp on the outside and light as a feather. Whipped egg whites add extra air to the batter, ensuring waffles that rise to their fluffiest potential. Delicious with whipped cream and fresh fruit, and perfect for dessert.

Excellent Polish pancakes (racuchy) made with yoghurt. Probably the fastest dessert in the world! You don’t even need a mixer. They’re even more delicious sprinkled with icing sugar. You can also add slices of apple to the batter. Make sure to save this recipe to your
