This cream cheese and strawberry tart features a crisp, buttery pastry shell filled with a smooth cream cheese filling and topped with juicy fresh strawberries. Its flavour is quite different from a tart made with mascarpone, thanks to the distinctive character of Philadelphia
Another Basque cheesecake joins the collection! You may already know the classic version, the chocolate one, and even the pistachio variation. Now it’s time for one of autumn’s finest flavours – a creamy pumpkin Basque cheesecake with a beautifully
Basque cheesecake is the famous Spanish cheesecake from San Sebastián’s legendary La Viña restaurant. Many consider it the best cheesecake in Spain – and it turns out perfectly every time. Forget, for a moment, the snow-white perfection of a classic New York
It’s remarkable just how delicious this apple and walnut cake is. Thanks to the cream cheese frosting, it may remind you a little of a classic carrot cake. Made with oil rather than butter, this cake is exceptionally moist, stays fresh for days and is packed with chunks
This Basque mango cheesecake was created almost immediately after my Basque Pumpkin Cheesecake. The colour was just as beautiful, and I simply had to test the recipe with mango purée. The result is… absolutely incredible. Rich, creamy
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!
A delicious, delicate and fluffy loaf cake topped with a simple icing glaze. This easy butter cake is made with cream cheese, which balances the sweetness, adds a subtle tang and gives the cake its wonderfully moist texture. The cake stays fresh for days
A festive Basque cheesecake made with Lotus Biscoff spread and biscuits. Just like every great Basque cheesecake, it is intensely creamy with a beautifully burnt top, but this version also brings sweet spiced flavours and subtle caramel notes. I know many of you
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 :).
Half key lime pie, half cheesecake. This lime cheesecake with meringue is essentially inspired by the famous American key lime pie you may already know from the blog, but with the addition of Philadelphia-style cream cheese, making the dessert even
A wonderfully lemony Basque cheesecake! Rich, ultra-creamy and full of fresh lemon flavour, with the signature deeply caramelised top. It feels wonderfully spring-like, despite the winter weather still lingering outside ;). It now joins my delicious collection of Basque cheesecakes.
Chocolate lime cheesecake is an absolutely spectacular cheesecake. The unusual combination of rich chocolate and fresh lime creates a dessert with a wonderfully light, creamy, and delicate texture. It’s the perfect summer dessert — one of those flavours that stays with
Spring yeast buns :). Soft, fluffy sweet rolls with a lemon filling and a creamy frosting made with cream cheese and honey. The idea for the honey frosting came from one of the readers of Moje Wypieki. The whole preparation process is simple and probably
These famous cinnamon swirl buns, inspired by one of the popular American bakery chains, have already become iconic. Although the original recipe remains a secret, it’s definitely worth trying this homemade version of Cinnabons — just as delicious! Fluffy yeast dough
A wonderful chocolate orange cheesecake made with Terry’s Chocolate Orange chocolates. If you can’t find them, simply replace them with milk chocolate and add the finely grated zest of two oranges (scrubbed and blanched beforehand) plus 1 teaspoon
Another take on the iconic “burnt” and ultra-creamy Basque cheesecake — this time enriched with tahini. This halva-inspired version is baked at a high temperature, just like the classic, giving it that signature deeply caramelised top with a slightly toffee-like flavour.
For fans of strawberries and white chocolate. A quick no-bake strawberry cheesecake with white chocolate, made with either cream cheese or traditional curd cheese. The strawberry flavour isn’t overly sharp or fresh – instead, it reminds me more of creamy strawberry ice cream :).
A truly indulgent peanut butter tart – a bit American, a bit British, with a Swiss twist. No wonder it’s such a crowd-pleaser ;). You’ll find classic British bourbon biscuits (though you can also use Oreo or any chocolate sandwich cookies), creamy Philadelphia, peanut butter
