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:
A truly special holiday cheesecake topped with pistachio mousse and crushed pistachios. To make the pistachio mousse, I used a jar of pistachio cream brought back from a sunny holiday in Italy — it had been waiting for a special occasion, although at first I thought
A classic sponge cake with pastry cream and strawberries — simple, timeless and always delicious! Yesterday, someone commented on Facebook: “I’ve been looking for a sponge cake with cream and strawberries recipe on your blog.” Honestly, it was almost embarrassing
A naked gingerbread cake decorated with gingerbread cookies (my own gingerbread dough is still maturing, so this time I used shop-bought cookies). The cake is filled with a delicious peanut butter and almond liqueur cream. Of course, you can easily customise
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.
A simple yet delicious no-bake Lotus Biscoff cake. It’s made with layers of Biscoff biscuits, a creamy mascarpone filling enriched with Biscoff spread, a layer of blackcurrant jam to balance the sweetness, and finished with a silky Biscoff topping. It’s incredibly
Waffles — but make them luxurious! This elegant waffle “cake” is a fun and unusual way to serve a classic favourite. Whether it turns out more like a cake or a gateau depends on the size of your waffle maker. I used a smaller one to create a more delicate, refined look.
A beautifully soft and fluffy yeast cake, filled with curd cheese filling and juicy cranberries, shaped into an elegant braid. It smells incredible while baking, tastes even better, and simply melts in your mouth. If you prefer, you can swap the icing for a classic crumble
Peanut butter doughnuts are the trendiest doughnuts of the season ;). Soft, fluffy doughnuts filled with a creamy peanut butter filling. After frying, they’re coated in sugar, drizzled with chocolate and sprinkled with salted peanuts. Absolutely delicious!
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.
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 ;).
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 shortcrust tart filled with white chocolate cream and topped with fresh summer fruits. The simple white chocolate and mascarpone cream is based on a recipe by Nigella Lawson from her book How to Be a Domestic Goddess. In the original version, the cream was served
Another delicious mango cheesecake on my blog! After the popular version made with sweetened condensed milk (which many of you loved), I decided to create a recipe without it. We don’t always have condensed milk at home, and this version uses only classic
When the temperature dropped by a few degrees, I baked a few shortcrust tart shells in advance – so during the heatwave I can avoid the oven and simply fill them with creams and fruit. These bases freeze beautifully, making them perfect for quick desserts
A true Christmas showstopper! I fell in love after the very first bite. A deliciously crisp-on-the-outside, marshmallow-soft Pavlova layered with a creamy filling enriched with marsala or amaretto, coffee-soaked sponge biscuits and finished with a dusting of cocoa. Elegant
A classic sunken chocolate cake – baked, cooled, then filled with cream and fruit. Here, it’s paired with a delicate coconut cream and a raspberry compote – a truly wonderful combination. Finished with desiccated coconut and fresh raspberries (optional)
What a flavour combination! A delicious coconut cream paired with aromatic rhubarb, served on a base of amaretti biscuits (though coconut biscuits work just as well). This coconut and rhubarb dessert is quick to prepare and served in individual glasses – simple, elegant
