Christmas and Christmas cookies are inevitably over, so it’s time for a new recipe. After all the cookies I wanted something creamy, fruity and chocolatey. I found some sour cherries in the pantry and got the idea for a four-layer tart. Sour Cherry Mascarpone Chocolate Tart combines everything one could want – cocoa tart shell, a jelly sour cherry layer,…

I’ve been making different variations of truffles for Christmas for a few years now. They are easy to prepare, usually don´t require a lot of ingredients, and they disappear at the speed of light during Christmas. I always take one when I walk by, then I don’t even know how and they’re gone. Maybe it’s because they have a perfect…

It may be early for some, just right time for others, but we have already experienced the first snow of this year, so why not also the first recipe for Christmas cookies. Plus, these cookies don’t even have to appear Christmassy. They come in handy when you have leftover egg whites and don’t know what to do with them. Coconut…

Summer is slowly approaching, and in addition to seasonal summer fruits, coconut could also be considered a summer flavor. A great deal of coconut with a bit of chocolate, similar to a bounty bar, was the initial idea for this No-bake Coconut Bounty Cheesecake. I made the crust with cocoa-coconut cookies, so you’ll find that combination here as well.…

After Easter, I wanted to make something quick and small. The blog is full of brownies variations, but not a single recipe for blondies, so that needs to be fixed. If you haven’t heard of them, blondies are the “sisters” of brownies. They are very similar in consistency, consisting of a thicker creamier batter. However, the main difference is that blondies…

Who wouldn’t know Snickers. I decided to make a homemade version of them, in the shape of a tart, just without the marshmallow layer. My Snickers tart consists of a traditional vanilla dough, a sweet caramel layer, a layer of salted peanuts, and chocolate with the addition of peanut butter. I reached for the traditional “sweet” caramel, not the salted…

After a long time (who would be surprised when all this is happening) I add a new recipe. I thought of combining two traditional desserts, namely muffins and cheesecake. Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins consist of fluffy cocoa batter with chocolate chunks and vanilla cheesecake filling. These muffins are great if you can’t decide whether you want a cake or cheesecake. I’ve…

I found some cream cheese in a fridge that needed to be used up, so I wanted something really cream cheese-like. I make a light creamy filling, added a good dose of chocolate and Brownie Cream Cheese Cake was born. It consists of a brownie bottom, a creamy cream cheese filling and dark chocolate ganache. Brownie batter is already such…

Chocolate and peanuts is probably a less traditional combination, but it matches great together. Namely, I opted for Peanut Butter Cheesecake-Stuffed Chocolate Loaf Cake. It features a soft chocolate sponge cake batter and a delicious peanut butter filling in the center of the loaf cake. This loaf cake is great when you can’t decide if you want some cake, like…

What would Christmas be without Linzer cookies. However, rather than the traditional “ordinary” version with jam, I like variations of them. There’s already Lemon Linzer with Lemon Curd on the blog that’s been quite popular, so I figured it was about time for a new variation. Cocoa Linzer Cookies with Orange Ganache consist of soft cocoa dough and ganache made…

I still have a brownies series this week. Who wouldn´t love them since they are quick and full of chocolate? And, for me, chocolate combined with coconut is just delicious. However, it must be well-balanced sweet, unsweetened combination. Brownies with Coconut Mousse are just such a combination. A great deal of sweet chocolate and a soft, fluffy mousse with a tropical…

Pumpkin and October is simply an inseparable combination. Plus, as October is almost over, I’m getting a Halloween vibe, so I was in the mood for a black and orange combination. Dark Cocoa Pumpkin Brownie Cheesecake combines a delicious brownie full of chocolate and a creamy fall cheesecake. The crunchy brownie and the creamy cheesecake could also be considered as…

Blueberry season is here so I wanted to take advantage of their bold purple color. I use wild blueberries in my desserts, they have a deep purple color so desserts have a lovely bold color too. Some of you have texted me that your blueberry desserts ended up with a bland brown color and not the purple one. The reason…

The red berries are slowly ripening, but not fast enough for me to make a cake with just one kind. Therefore, I figured I’d mix the remaining strawberries and ripening raspberries and red currants. I was in the mood for something colorful, chocolatey yet fruity and soft. Brownie Red Berry Vanilla Torte has it all. It contains three colorful layers,…

I sometimes crave a nice basic “sponge” cake, which is delicious and doesn’t even require long preparation. Such as a bublanina (traditional Slovak sponge cake with cherries) is already a part of every Slovak household. Similar to this cake, I made Cocoa and Vanilla Marble Cake with Cherries which contains cocoa and vanilla layers from one batter and fresh cherries. Since…

I haven’t baked anything chocolate in a long time, so I was craving a decent amount of chocolate. Since lockdown is slowly coming to the end and I’m starting to go to work relatively normally now, I thought of something “bag-friendly” and something that would be enough for my colleagues too. In the end, Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies won me…

Easter is around the corner and I was in the mood for some “festive” cake. In the end, I made Speckled Easter Egg Vanilla White Chocolate Cake. It consists of a soft vanilla cake, white chocolate, mascarpone and heavy cream filling and is decorated with Easter eggs. Even though it is a cake, it really isn’t complicated as all the cake…

I don’t think the combination of chocolate and orange needs to be introduced. I’ve been wanting to make this cheesecake for a long time, it’s so simple and this combination is always a hit. Baked Chocolate Orange Cheesecake is full of chocolate, it is present in three layers and it is matched with a soft orange layer. Cheesecake is baked,…
