On 8 March, we celebrate International Women’s Day. To mark the occasion, I baked these beautiful butter rose cookies using my favourite shortcrust cookie dough. The dough is wonderful to work with. The key to success lies in understanding your oven: if it’s not hot
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth sandwich cookies that taste like little pieces of cake. Moist, lightly cocoa-flavoured and beautifully deep red in colour, they are filled with a creamy Philadelphia-style cream cheese frosting
These Valentine’s shortbread cookies are wonderfully traditional in flavour – crisp, buttery, delicious and irresistibly cute. To make them, you’ll need cookie stamps and cookie cutters in your favourite shapes. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today is definitely not the day to count calories ;). These brownie sandwich cookies with peanut butter cream can brighten even the gloomiest autumn day. Chocolate and peanut butter are one of my ultimate guilty pleasures. Soft, intensely chocolatey brownie
Raspberry mousse cheesecake is simply the perfect cheesecake. A creamy, melt-in-the-mouth vanilla cheesecake topped with a layer of the most delicious raspberry mousse. It has everything we love – the richness of cheesecake balanced by the slightly
Raspberry mug brownie prepared in 3 minutes – this is the time from starting the preparation to baking the dessert, cooked in a microwave. 1 serving – quick, simple, and made from readily available ingredients. For those moments when you suddenly
My suggestion for this year’s Valentine’s Day. A rich chocolate cake filled with a delicious chocolate cream. Its texture is similar to a chocolate sponge cake – light, moist, irresistible and beautifully simple. It is sure to delight everyone in love, and not only them… Say
Chocolate pots de crème (little pots of chocolate cream) are a classic French speciality. With a texture somewhere between a light chocolate mousse and a silky chocolate custard, they make a wonderful dessert for a Valentine’s Day dinner or any special occasion.
One of those cakes that never fails to lift your spirits. Chocolatey, simple to make, and topped with an intensely rich chocolate and coffee glaze finished with desiccated coconut (although in Sweden it is often traditionally topped with icing instead).
A chocolate and rose cake with raspberries — perfect not only for Valentine’s Day, but for any occasion (or no occasion at all!) when you want to treat someone special. Soft chocolate layers are filled with delicate rose cream, raspberry jam and fresh raspberries.
Cheesecake with raspberry sauce — doesn’t that sound irresistible? The raspberry swirl is baked into charming heart shapes, making this a perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day. This cheesecake is intentionally not too tall — made from a slightly smaller
These “chocohotopots” are the most chocolatey pudding you can imagine. The tops bake into a delicate, slightly cracked crust, almost like macarons, while the inside stays molten, rich, and irresistibly gooey. Perfect for chocolate lovers and cosy
This is a classic chocolate mousse recipe — and truly the best. I prepared it for Valentine’s evening, because I simply can’t imagine that day without chocolate. It’s light, delicate and intensely chocolatey. “Heavenly” hardly does it justice.
Crème brûlée is the aristocracy of French desserts – one of the most iconic and deservedly celebrated classics, yet brilliantly simple. A silky, delicate vanilla custard topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramel. I didn’t expect it to work on my first attempt, or that I’d be
I’m not quite sure which word best describes the flavour of this cake, but perhaps this one comes closest – divine. It’s perfect for special moments, celebrations, or even cosy winter evenings for two. Imagine a giant truffle that tastes exactly like an intensely rich chocolate
Chocolate truffles coated in fruit powder are simply the best chocolate truffles. Truly. The best in terms of texture, flavour and that wonderfully tangy fruit coating. I first noticed hibiscus flower powder on the blog Kucharnia. A few minutes later I was rummaging through my
A delicious pistachio panna cotta – a traditional Italian dessert in a slightly more luxurious guise :). It’s delicate, creamy, with a distinct pistachio note. The key ingredient is pistachio paste – it should be made from 100% pistachios, with no added sugar or flavourings.
A gooey, intensely chocolatey cake with raspberries. Undoubtedly, it will boost your endorphins — something we all need this time of year. The cake is wonderfully moist, with a texture somewhere between a pudding and a cake. It’s best served about an hour after baking
