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…

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…

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,…

There are many raspberries in my garden, even though I tossed away a lot of them in the spring and I thought there won´t be much of them. But they quickly recovered and no one would say more than half of them was gone in the spring. So they went into a cheesecake right away, if it can be called…

I discovered a can of coconut milk in my home and I made two desserts. Since to use 400 ml of coconut milk is at once quite difficult, I firstly used the half of a can and made coconut mousse. Add chocolate mousse, ganache and ladyfingers, and Chocolate Coconut Mousse Charlotte is made. Charlotte is a general name for a…

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…

Cherry season is almost finished so I prepared the last cherry recipe for this year. Specifically, it is Cherry Vanilla Chocolate Cheesecake. Although this triple combination may seem like too much, it is not true at all. Vanilla because it is traditional, regular and basic cheesecake, only with the addition of fresh cherries in the cheesecake. It is made with…

Strawberries are everywhere, I collected almost two full bowls of strawberries yesterday from my garden so the part of them immediately went into a cake. And since it is scorching hot and I prefer nice cold desserts in this weather, I decided for the combination of cocoa sponge cake with cheesecake filling and chopped strawberries. I cut the cake into…

My state exams are on and let me tell you just that I´m in hurry and I don´t have time for anything. I have two state exams left, or 3, since two of them are in the same day, so I study hard. Therefore, let me cut to the chase. If you don´t have time or are not in the…

I still don´t have strawberries in my garden, but they were on sale in supermarkets so I bought a few boxes, specifically a kilo and half. But surprise, surprise – they even didn´t last four days, so I had to throw away most of them because they went mouldy. Well, what a quality. I planned to make a cake, where…

You´re suddenly craving something sweet, but you don´t have a lot of time or you´re just not in the mood for doing anything complicated. Quick and easy recipes are the best then. Someone prefers cakes measured in cups, which are quick, for sure, but I think they are less accurate than cakes measured in a scale. Quick cake can be…

Valentine´s Day is coming, let´s have a romantic dinner – I would never say that. I think that Valentine´s Day is too commercial, which is no good to anyone, maybe only to those who sell red and romantic stuff. However, it is also a great reason to use something pink or red in a cake, I agree with that. You…

For the first time in my blog´s history, here is a recipe which uses bananas not in batter, but in filling. This recipe for Caramelized Banana Chocolate Tart is the first one out of two recipes I have prepared for you. And what´s so special about it? It´s so easy and yet, it tastes amazing. Of course, dough is (kneaded)…

I took raspberries from my freezer as a next summer fruit. Since frozen raspberries are quite soft, I made Raspberry Minicheesecakes with White Chocolate Ganache. You can get rid of soft raspberries very quickly in some baked dessert and these raspberries have just the right taste, you can sense the bold raspberry taste even when they are mixed, smashed and…

So December is here. The frequency of the question “have you bought everything for Christmas yet?” is rapidly increasing. And no, I haven´t, honestly, I wouldn´t even realize that some Christmas is coming if it wasn´t for all these Christmas themes everywhere. At first, I have to fight through all tests, seminar works and everything similar to these, so I…

Mint is a popular item in summer mainly thanks to its freshness. It´s a great part not only of cocktails, but also of tasty desserts. Or at least the mint flavor. Specifically, this chocolate mint tart is made of mint syrup and mint thins. I don´t like mint thins as a sweet, so they ended up in a cake and…
