I had some mascarpone in my fridge and I was in a mood for tiramisu, but since I already made traditional tiramisu and tiramisu cheesecake, I wanted something different. Therefore, tiramisu cookies were created – cookies with a subtle coffee flavor filled with mascarpone filling. Cookies are made with traditional ingredients such as flour, butter, sugar, plus instant coffee and…

I think the most popular baked products during quarantine is homemade bread. But when it comes to desserts, many people were into “choux au craquelin”. What is it exactly? Choux pastry is in this case baked into a shape of small balls. Craquelin is crunchy “dough” on top of balls that cracks during baking, hence the name craquelin (from French…

Add chocolate mousse, ganache and ladyfingers, and Chocolate Coconut Mousse Charlotte is made. Charlotte is a general name for a…

I guess this year´s Easter will be a little bit different then we´re used to, but I believe there still will be some cake on your table.

Cupcakes represent various possibilities of batter and icing combinations. If you add oreo cookies, I bet no one will say “no” to them. These Oreo Cupcakes with Mascarpone Icing were a huge hit. Batter is a bit different since you need only egg whites, no egg yolks, then you also need sour cream and oreos. But I guarantee that this…

Banoffee pie is a well-known dessert, made with no-bake biscuit crust, filling made from cooked sweetened condensed milk, fresh bananas and whipped heavy cream. It is a simple not time-consuming tart or pie, the longest it takes to cook condensed milk. Thanks to condensed milk and bananas, it is delicious and sweet so there is no need to add sugar…

I opened my freezer and found strawberries. It´s been a long time since I wanted to make cream cheese dessert, but I generally find cream cheese too dry, so I decided to add fruit, strawberries to be more specific. This way, Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake was born. It is made with fluffy sponge cake, strawberry layer, cream cheese layer and…

It´s been a long time since I made something with coffee and this “no-fruit” winter period is perfect for non-seasonal recipes. I think coffee should be combined with chocolate so I made Chocolate Espresso Tart. It is made with traditional cocoa kneaded dough, dark chocolate filling and fluffy espresso coffee filling. Chocolate filling is actually the variation of traditional chocolate…

Many people are not in the mood for difficult desserts during January so I decided to make simple Yogurt Cream Cherry Parfaits. They are made with two layers, the cherry layer is actually just frozen cherries (you can use the fresh ones if you want to, but add more water) with water and cornstarch. The second layer is made with…

I guess you don´t want any more cakes and you´re looking for something savory and small to make for New Year´s Eve. I like the best savory appetizers made with puff pastry since it is very variable and when you buy an already rolled out puff pastry, appetizers are prepared in a minute. This time, I combined a puff pastry…

Chocolate cups are an inseparable part of Christmas cookies in many households. Chocolate cups filled with walnut filling are a traditional Slovak Christmas dessert but I don´t like this filling so I made them my way and created Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups. Quality dark chocolate together with coconut oil ensures a lovely color, taste and just the right crispiness…

Christmas time is here. Christmas songs are playing in a radio for a week now and people are starting to bake. Since I like a gingerbread taste but traditional gingerbread man cookies not so much, I decided to make Stamped Gingerbread Cookies. Stamped cookies are quite a hit for some time now and you can even find embossed rolling pin…

The combination of cocoa cake, whipped cream and sour cream is generally known as “Black Forest”.

The original recipe is inspired by a French dessert – Buche…

Seasonal fruits are gone so here comes the time when I use what I find in the store/in the house. There were mint thins, or in other words After Eight, in sale. Since I already have a cheesecake-tart on the blog, I decided for another variation. Mint and chocolate are an inseparable combination so I made Brownie Mint and Chocolate…

Ricotta was on sale a few weeks ago so I bought two packages. One of them went straight into a chocolate cake. The original recipe is from a French magazine, where the cake is baked in a bread baking pan, but it would be very low so I made it in a round pan. Chocolate Cake Stuffed with Ricotta is…

These Creamy Apple Cocoa Cake Bars fulfill all three criteria. You make it in a large baking pan so the whole family can have a few…

When I was looking for an inspiration on Pinterest, a picture of a chocolate cake with white filling and ladyfingers dipped in coffee popped out. Therefore, I made my version of Brownie Tiramisu. Traditional brownie cake, which we bake, then apply a little bit of lemon tiramisu filling so the ladyfingers hold better. Then, we add ladyfingers dipped in coffee…
