A phenomenal meringue topped with roasted rhubarb! For some time now, I’ve been making meringue using the Swiss meringue method – and this is the first recipe of its kind on the blog.How does it differ from the traditional French method? The preparation is different
The most delicious spring meringue cake! The tartness of the rhubarb and strawberries beautifully balances the sweetness of the meringue. Four delicate, marshmallowy meringue layers are sandwiched with whipped cream and fruit, creating a truly irresistible
Crisp meringues, delicate coffee cream and raspberries – a perfect afternoon treat. This classic flavour combination is simple to prepare, especially if you have disposable piping bags and a large open-star piping tip. These meringues with coffee cream are simply wonderful
An utterly irresistible meringue roulade filled with mascarpone cream and rhubarb. Pink rhubarb looks particularly beautiful in this dessert, but if you don’t have access to it, simply use the red parts of regular rhubarb stalks and save the greener sections
Red Velvet macarons were inspired by the famous American Red Velvet Cake. Of course, they must be a deep red colour and filled with a lightly salted Philadelphia cream cheese frosting. Delicious!
Continuing with the theme of chocolate and orange cakes, today I have a new chocolate meringue cake with hazelnuts and oranges. This chocolate and hazelnut meringue cake with oranges is absolutely wonderful! Intensely crisp, irresistible from the very
Another delicious way to use up leftover festive chocolates. This Coconut Pavlova combines a crisp white meringue with coconut cream, mango sauce and jewel-like pomegranate seeds. It’s a wonderfully tropical combination – light, refreshing
A double chocolate Pavlova means double the joy :). This smaller Pavlova is made with just four egg whites and features a crisp shell with a soft, marshmallow-like centre. It’s topped with Nutella cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce and finished with Maltesers.
A cake that still smells of summer… And it does not even matter if you think you do not like desiccated coconut — here, even coconut sceptics will enjoy it. The recipe author herself, Nigella Lawson, calls it a “Bounty cake”, which should already be recommendation enough :).
A pistachio Pavlova simply had to happen, and the idea suggested by one of my readers sounded absolutely wonderful :). Probably the most challenging part is blending the pistachios into smooth pistachio butter — after that, the rest is already familiar territory:
These Italian pistachio cookies are so delicious that it is worth making a double batch straight away ;). These are not your ordinary pistachio biscuits — there is no flour in them at all, they are made almost entirely from pistachios. Crisp on the outside, soft and
Once, at the beginning of my baking journey, someone more experienced told me that Pavlova is not a “fruit salad” — you should stick to one type of fruit. Oh, how wrong they were. Or perhaps Pavlova has simply evolved so much that no combination surprises anyone anymore?
Toffee Pavlova with cinnamon and figs. By using a mix of brown sugar and white sugar (half and half), the meringue takes on a beautiful toffee-like flavour :). This recipe caught my attention because of its unusual method – completely different from how I used to make Pavlova.
A light strawberry meringue cake with… no cream at all, so no added fat. We bake a sponge, layer it twice with strawberry filling (which soaks beautifully into the sponge), then finish the whole cake with meringue and flaked almonds. This strawberry and meringue
After rose ice cream, a rose Pavlova simply had to follow. For now, it’s paired with strawberries and pistachios, but later in the summer it’s just as delicious with raspberries. This rose Pavlova with strawberries is truly hard to beat :). If you enjoy floral flavours, be
A slightly different take on the classic French Fraisier cake – made with almond meringue layers and a silky strawberry mousse. This delicate, summery almond cake with strawberry mousse is simply irresistible :). You can also swap the strawberries for raspberries
Such a specific flavour combination – and probably my favourite when it comes to Pavlova: beautifully sweet and tangy :). This Pavlova with gooseberries and kiwi even beats the classic version with lemon curd, and it’s simply not to be missed during gooseberry season!
Amaretti are sweet almond cookies – or more precisely, small almond macaroons. Their homeland is Italy. They’re made from whipped egg whites and ground almonds, without any flour, and flavoured with amaretto liqueur, which gives them their distinctive aroma.
