Apparently, this year’s summer in the UK is supposed to be a hot one. I find it a little hard to believe we’ll get three months of sunshine and 30°C temperatures like Spain, but we’ll see ;). If you’d like to be well prepared for ice cream season, now is the

Alongside all the summer fruit ice creams that are surely still ahead of us, it is also worth using up the jars of preserved fruit hiding in the pantry before the new season begins. Blueberries, cherries, strawberries… whatever you happen to have in abundance.
Pistachio cheesecake is a truly original festive dessert. With pistachio paste, white chocolate and a delicate hint of rose… it’s simply stunning! I had never tried such a flavour combination before and wasn’t sure what to expect – it was a bit of an experiment ;).
A baking theme that’s been popular for quite some time – unicorns! It’s safe to say that unicorn cupcakes never go out of style, and you’re never too old for them. I originally planned to make them for Children’s Day, but didn’t manage in time – so I made them later…
Delicious, delicate and wonderfully creamy rose ice cream – quick to prepare and no ice cream maker required ;). All you need are ingredients well chilled for 24 hours and a mixer. One ingredient you may use less often, but which is not difficult to find (look in well-stocked

Apparently, this is a legendary cheesecake from Poznań, served at Café La Ruina. If I ever visit Poznań, I’ll definitely stop by to try the original. In the meantime, here’s a recipe for a truly delicious cheesecake packed with mango purée. It’s creamy, delicate and
Dulce de leche mazurek is undoubtedly the king of the Easter table. This version isn’t quite festive, as it was baked in January – more of a mix of dried fruits and nuts. For Easter, I recommend decorating it with a decorative pastry edge – it will look beautiful! It’s absolutely delicious
Key lime pie is a famous American tart, perfect for summer. It’s light, refreshing and has a creamy, cheesecake-like texture. Traditionally, the tart is made not with regular limes but with Key limes, which are small, yellow when ripe, and more aromatic and tangier in flavour.
Pumpkin cheesecake tart is another take on the classic American pumpkin pie. It tastes like a combination of pumpkin pie and cheesecake – simple and quick to prepare, and it doesn’t require baking in a water bath. The filling is richly pumpkin-flavoured and wonderfully aromatic.

Oreo ice cream is a simple ice cream made with the popular Oreo cookies. You can also use your favourite cookies or chocolate instead. Without the cookies, it becomes a delicious classic ice cream, perfect for serving with your favourite sweet sauces.
