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…

The half of can of coconut milk went into coconut mousse two weeks ago and the other half went here, into a cheesecake. And not just some cheesecake, but No-bake Raffaello Cheesecake. I´m sure you have already tasted Raffaello so you know it is made with creamy coconut filling, crispy wafer and an almond. All these three ingredients are present…

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…

The combination of cocoa cake, whipped cream and sour cream is generally known as “Black Forest”. My version, since I already have a cake on the blog, is Black Forest Cake Roll – cocoa cake roll with mascarpone and sour cherry filling. It is made with soft cocoa cake. The original recipe is inspired by a French dessert – Buche…

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…

Vanilla Speculoos Salted Caramel Cheesecake could be nowadays considered as a popular dessert; therefore it can´t be missed on this blog either. A subtle vanilla taste of the basic cheesecake, the sweetness and saltiness of caramel is a great combination, no wonder it is so popular. You can find many recipes for this cheesecake on Internet, but this is mine,…

I didn´t even notice and currant season is almost over. Not that I wanted to make some jam or what, but I wanted to make at least one cake. I managed to make Red Currant White Chocolate Cheesecake. Since I think red currants are too sour, I wanted to combine them with something really sweet and white chocolate is a…

Raspberries are finally here. I´m excited about it since there is no better combination than raspberries and chocolate. However, I chose to leave out chocolate this time. I´ve been thinking about the bold red color of red velvet cake for a while and it came to me to combine it with raspberries. There was finally the time for fresh raspberries,…

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…

Cherries are already here, I don´t even know since when. I looked at a cherry tree a couple days ago and thought they would be ripe not sooner than at the beginning of July, but they managed to do it earlier. I generally think everything gets ripe sooner this year and I don´t know what to use up earlier. Peaches…

Easter is over so I was in mood for something light and refreshing. I had some mascarpone left and frozen blueberries from summer and it were about time to use them up since second summer is almost here. I made a cheesecake and since I already have one blueberry cheesecake on the blog, I combined blueberries and lemon in…

Easter is almost here as well as the time when we think what to bake. If you don´t have time for long-preparation cakes, this Easter Pink Raspberry Tart is right for you. It is made with traditional kneaded dough, jam, mascarpone whipped cream layer and chocolate Easter eggs. Besides its simplicity and quickness of its preparation, it has another advantage…

I had three mascarpone packages in my fridge so it was about time to make something with at least one of them. When we talk about mascarpone, what else comes to your mind than tiramisu. Since I already have a recipe for traditional tiramisu on my blog, I decided to make No-bake Tiramisu Cheesecake. I don´t like using eggs in…

Although it is just November, my freezer is full of summer fruit, so it would be about time to use it. The first one to use up was cherries from summer. Of course, you can use fresh cherries instead of the frozen ones, you will just need to use more water. I wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake for a…

No, I don´t bake for Christmas yet, although it may look like it. Cookies don´t have to be make only at Christmas, if I have some time left, since I always bake more batches (= more baking pans), I like to bake them also during a year. However, the first time I baked these Hazelnut Cookies with Nutella Filling was…

The combination of poppy seed and lemon hasn´t been here a while so I made Lemon Poppy Seed Cheesecake Muffins. Since I had some mascarpone which needed to be used up, I´ve been tempted to make some cheesecake muffins for a while. Fluffy cake batter in muffins with creamy cheesecake center, well, who could resist that. A muffin taste is…

A chocoholic is here. There is almost no fruit, it is too early for freezer supplies, so here comes chocolate. My inner me is beyond happy when she can make (and then eat) anything with chocolate, winter is good exactly for that, the easiest access is to chocolate. Today, I have a real delicacy for chocoholics – Extra Chocolate Cupcakes.…

What kind of a food blog it would have been, if tiramisu had been missing. And indeed, tiramisu had been missing on my blog. We made it in our home a few years ago, but we had a recipe which required eggs so we didn´t like it. Now, I wanted to give it a shot again, but this time without…
