Sugared Cranberries

Are you as excited for Christmas as I am? I can’t tell you how much we have been waiting for this time of the year. It’s always an uplifting time for the soul!

In the rush of the season, when I want to bake basically everything and share it with the people I love, sugared cranberries are always around. They are so full of sweetness and make the perfect thinking-of-you gift. Also, they will make any baked good look as if it came out of a Christmas tree instead of an oven.

What I love about sugared cranberries, besides that deep burgundy reddish color, is that they are…

Sugar Cookie Wreath

If you are looking for an adorable Christmas baking project but feel intimidated just by the thought of having to pour a glaze, this Sugar Cookie Christmas Wreath is the perfect one for you! Soft, chewy and simply the most delicious sugar cookies are arranged to form this wreath. The arrangement is what gives this wreath its beautiful poinsettia shape. No complicated decoration techniques or special tools required. It’s the cutest thing!!

You know I love the idea of creating beautiful things with less. That’s why I always found myself on a mission to create the prettiest things even when I have zero decorating skills. My goal is to create a a delightful experience for anyone, regardless of their decorating skills (me!!!!). Because no decorating skills shouldn’t mean no beautiful bakes!

This festive sugar cookie wreath is the perfect creation to embrace just that. The cookies are made with a very simple…

Strawberry Lavender Sparkling Wine Ice Cream Floats

I can’t even tell you how much fun are these Sparkling Wine Strawberry Lavender Ice Cream floats. Think of these as that root beer float you love, but way nicer, prettier and fancier!! The elderflower notes in the St. Germain dance beautifully with the lavender and, well, the strawberries with the champagne are a perfect classic pair that needs no words. These floats are what summer daydreams are all about.

There are so many things that have written summer all over them, like watermelon, flip-flops and the desire of doing absolutely nothing after 3pm. But for me, nothing screams summer louder than strawberry ice cream. Fresh strawberry ice cream is the quintessential ice cream…

Tres Leches Tiramisu

Two of the best desserts in the world combined! This no-bake tres leches tiramisu is made with traditional ladyfingers that are soaked in a three milk syrup, as in the traditional tres leches cake. This is an insanely rich and creamy tiramisu that never gets soggy because the syrup is thick and velvety. That’s why this decadent dessert is so delicious! It’s a delicate combination that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of using everyday ingredients in unexpected ways.

I think tiramisu is one of those desserts that can be intimidating but in reality it’s ridiculously easy to make. You don’t have to turn the oven on, which I never mind but still is one step less, and requires simple everyday ingredients…

Biscoff Dulce de Leche Meringue Cheesecake

Never would I have thought that the thin spiced cookies that have saved my life in many flights would become one of the best cheesecake crust I have ever made. Because they have more fat than graham crackers, the consistency of this crust is softer, almost cakey, and blends so deliciously when mixed with the cheesecake. I thought dulce de leche would pair perfectly with them. Both have notes of warm and spiced caramel. The Italian meringue on top makes this cheesecake something so good you will make sure a big piece remains on your fridge before sharing it with anyone!

This recipe has been in my notebook for a few weeks now. I’m very happy to finally share it with you, just in time for the holidays. As you probably know by now…

Classic Easy Tiramisu with Brownie Crust

I made this classic tiramisu with a brownie crust and it has to be one of the best things I have made lately! What’s not to love about this combo of coffee and chocolate?! To bring more flavor to the tiramisu, I sweetened the espresso with some of the sugar and infused the mascarpone cream with some of that espresso. The brownie crust, besides adding an amazing chocolate note, adds an incredible contrasting texture to the soft and creamy tiramisu. This tiramisu is a wonderful dessert that no one will have enough!

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

This ice cream you guys!! It’s your favorite cheesecake in a cone! This eggless ice cream is loaded with fresh blueberries for a nice burst of freshness every time you bite one. It has lots of graham cracker pieces for that crunchy texture we all love from a good cheesecake. Each spoonful you take is super creamy, tangy, rich and extra flavorful! You and your people won’t been able to stop eating this stuff!

If you are wondering how cream cheese tastes in an ice cream, let me tell you it’s a match made in Heaven that you don’t want to miss out! It’s precisely the tanginess of the cream cheese that balances out the sweetness from the sugar and fruits and the fat from the heavy cream. Cream cheese also adds a lot of viscosity to the ice cream texture, making it creamier than anything else.

This blueberry cheesecake ice cream has no eggs. It’s made with heavy cream that was…

Raspberry Tiramisu

This raspberry tiramisu will draw a smile in your face with its bright taste. The fresh raspberries in every bite make it sweet, fruity and citrusy at the same time. I soaked the ladyfingers in strong espresso with Chambord raspberry liquor for a subtle boozy raspberry note that makes this taste so decadent and luxurious. And the mascarpone cream is the most silky and creamy you could taste, and I tell you here how to get it like that and prevent curdling when mixing the cream up. This raspberry tiramisu is the perfect no-bake dessert for any Valentine’s celebration you have in mind!

If you have read my Classic Tiramisu with Brownie Crust, you already know that tiramisu had never been on my top list of decadent desserts. I never got the fuzz about it. But that was because…

Pumpkin Cheese Flan

Who doesn’t love an ultra silky and creamy flan?! This flan is the perfect recipe for any fall celebration you have. The texture is ultra creamy thanks to the pumping pureé, the cream cheese and the sweetened condensed milk, which is the only sweetener in tis recipe. Thanks to the burnt caramel and the Italian meringue on top, you don’t need extra sugar for the flan. In this post I’ll tell you how to make a pumpkin flan…

Honey Plum Pavlova

This airy and chewy Pavlova never fails. Most of the time, the simpler things end up being quite fascinating. This recipe is the perfect example of that. Would you believe a few amount of ingredients and a small amount of effort can culminate in such a beautiful and impressive dessert?

Easy No-Bake Chocolate Tart

This is a super easy no-bake chocolate tart. Made with coconut oil and with options to make it vegan and gluten free.

Tres Leches with Coquito

It’s been a while since my last tres leches cake. And since you guys loved so much my coquito recipe I guess I will put the two together in one amazing recipe. That's how this tres leches made with coquito came to be. Swap coquito for eggnog and you have an eggnog tres leches. It has a sponge but still super soft cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and, you guessed it, coquito!! Even if you would think the pistachios and blueberries are pure decorative, they both bring a nice texture and contrast to this smooth rich cake.
