Lemon Curd Cheesecake

This is simply the best lemon curd cheesecake recipe! The aromatic sweet notes of lemon and the tanginess of the cream cheese make a beautiful flavor combination really hard to beat. The classic buttery graham cracker crust is the perfect base for this cheesecake. You leave it just with the lemon curd topping or you can crown it with a tall and fluffy Italian meringue, which contrasts perfectly with the creamy texture of the cheesecake. You need to taste it for yourself understand how delicious really is this cheesecake. It’s the creamiest, silkiest and most decadent cheesecake recipe you’ll find!

I can’t believe I’m publishing this recipe now. I developed this recipe a long time ago for a family lunch and is the inspiration for my Brownie Cheesecake Bars and my Lemon Curd Cheesecake Tart. But time went by and I never…

Angel Food Cake with Blackberry Whipped Cream

Angel Food Cake is a beautiful kind of cake. Is airy, foamy and it has a velvety that feels like a marriage between a pound cake and a cheesecake. It’s made solely with egg whites as the leavening agent and no butter, oil or milk. I topped this delicious angel food cake with a blackberry whipped cream for a sweet and tart contrast. It’s a lovely cake and you will be loving it after the first bite!

You may be wondering what’s the difference between an angel food cake and a regular cake. What makes them different is that angel cake has no fat in the batter, even fat coming from eggs because this cake has no egg yolks, so it’s a non-fat cake. It only uses…

Blueberry Jam Heart Shaped Doughnuts

You know it’s not Valentine’s in here if there aren’t Heart Shaped Doughnuts in my kitchen!! This year I sticked to my bready dough and filled them with a sweet elderflower blueberry jam. I also used the Tangzhong method for the dough to make it soft and fresh for days, not only the day they were fried. I’m also telling you how you can make these overnight and a few cool tips on how to reheat doughnuts to make them taste even better than when fried!

Maybe it’s because everyone loves these doughnuts so much, from you my readers to my neighbors in the first floor, that I couldn’t help to make these for Valentine’s. There’s something magical about them and ironically, I think it is the amount of work behind them, haha!! After you finally sit down with a doughnut in one hand, a cup…

Lemon Curd Mini Cheesecakes

These Lemon Curd Mini Cheesecakes are so much fun for Easter Sunday! The cheesecake filling is super creamy and the lemon curd well, super lemony, as you can tell by how much that bright yellow color is screaming! A super fluffy meringue on top works as the perfect canvas for Easter decorations. They are simply adorable! A perfect make ahead dessert for Easter and super easy to put together!

If you’ve been around here, you know I’m a bit lazy when it comes to creating elaborate decorations. Probably a combination of laziness and lack of skills in reality because to tell you the truth, I don’t know much about highly specialized techniques to make fancy candy decorations. What I love to do is to use…

Lemon Lavender Basque Cheesecake

A good Basque cheesecake has to be one of the easiest cheesecakes to make and one of the most surprising things to eat! The basic recipe has only 6 ingredients, you mix it by hand and it’s baked in 20 minutes. It’s ultra creamy, dense and rich but still feels pretty light because it has no crust. I made this Basque cheesecake with lemon and lavender, sending subtle floral notes all over your taste buds. It’s something totally beautiful and insanely good!

If you’re a total cheesecake lover you probably have heard of Basque Cheesecake by now. If you haven’t, word on the internet says it’s a dessert originated in the ’90's by chef Santiago Rivera from La Viña in San Sebastián for his restaurant Pintxos. The original recipe calls for…

Lavender Flourless Chocolate Cake, with lavender infused whipped cream

You are going to fall in love with this light and airy, yet fudgy, rich and decadent flourless chocolate cake infused with lavender as much as I did. It only takes 6 ingredients and a bit more than an hour to prep and bake this amazing cake. The contrast of textures is what makes it so interesting; rich and decadent on the inside with a thin and crispy shell on the top. And it’s naturally gluten-free. The addition of lavender makes this cake perfect for any spring or summer gathering. And I promise the flavor is floral and mellow and perfectly balanced. Everything about this cake is sensational!

One of the things I love most about this cake is how unpretentious it is, and still it causes a commotion when it’s out of the oven and, most importantly, when someone takes a bite of it. It’s kind of unreal…

Asparagus Prosciutto Puff Pastry Tart, with white cheddar and herbs

A super crispy asparagus puff pastry tart, that keeps sturdy after baked even with a creamy filling? Yes please!! This tart is the definition of slow spring living. Fresh asparagus, fresh herbs, lemon zest, prosciutto and a creamy cheesy spread. It’s done in 30 minutes, from prep to bite. Serve it with a simple spring leaves salad with a sweet or mustardy vinaigrette and a crisp white wine as I did. You’ll be smiling bite after bite!

I like to think of this puff pastry tart as a cheat tart. It’s super good, will make you feel kind of fancy, the kind of recipe that will elevate any moment it’s served. But only you and me will know…

Sweetened Condensed Milk Croissant French Toast

These quick croissant French toast made with sweetened condensed milk are super silky and extremely soft! Besides using condensed milk, I toasted the croissants before soaking them in the egg mixture, that way the croissants ended up being crispy and dry on the surface but still super soft on the inside. Never soggy and with the perfect crisp texture.
