This Peach Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Tart recipe is so ridiculously easy, I can see you making it every time you want to make something cute and super delicious for breakfast in no time! It uses frozen puff pastry dough sheets and each tart has a sweet cream cheese filling. I used juicy fresh peaches for that peaches-n-creme feel, but you can use apricots, nectarines or even plums. It doesn't require for you to spend hours in the kitchen or lots of ingredients. This is a recipe that will never let you down.

When I crossed paths with some sweet juicy fresh peaches I thought immediately about making this recipe. I know the vibrant peach color will sweeten the soul and brighten anything. Maybe that’s why…

Extra Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting

My easy cream cheese frosting recipe is extra creamy, extremely velvety and super soft. It’s tart and not overly sweet and it tastes as pure sweet cream cheese. You can make soft designs with it because it’s sturdy enough to hold its shape and doesn’t get runny. By taking care of some details through the steps I’ve managed to work with this cream cheese frosting even if living in a tropical paradise.

That’s right! This cream cheese frosting recipe has stood the test of warm weather. Living in the Caribbean may seem like a fantasy and may make you want to put that #ilivewhereyouvacay hashtag in every…

Lemon Yogurt Cake

This easy Lemon Yogurt Cake is incredibly fluffy, moist and tender! I am kidding you not when I tell you it will kind of melt in your hand if you try to grab a piece.

Start with this one and you will be hooked for ever!

Brown Butter Ferrero Rocher Brownies

What’s better than a Ferrero Rocher? Gooey fudgy brownies with lots of Ferrero Rocher inside! These super easy brownies are made in no time as well as gone in no time! They are totally addictive and hit you so, so well!

I think brownies have always been kind of magical. They were probably the first baking experience for most of us completely on our own. And, yes, I’m aware that experience was with brownie mix out of a box. But still, the magic of mixing a few simple ingredients by hand…

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…

Lemon Pistachio Loaf Cake

This lemon pistachio cake is out of this world!! With a super soft and tender crumb, is a cake perfect for snacking and sharing around. I promise you can get a prettier swirl than mine, but you have to keep reading to understand why is that! The point is that this is another wonderful loaf cake recipe that you need to have on your repertoire for those moments you want a classic simple cake.

I have to admit I was pretty hesitant about sharing this cake. It has been sitting in my computer for a few weeks now. It was addictive and so good! But being my own director, cinematographer production assistant and talent while filming videos has its consequences, haha! For some reason I had to rush the process a bit while filming…

Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Cake

This Raspberry Almond Ricotta Cake is moist and light with an incredible texture. You wouldn't believe it’s final texture when you see the dense and thick batter entering the oven, but the ricotta brings so much lightness to this cake that makes it perfect for breakfast or snacking any time. And is so incredibly effortless to make, that trust me, once you make one, you will be baking it in repeat. It’s the perfect cake for the upcoming summery days!

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…

Jumbo Banana Blueberry Muffins

So many of my favorite things for breakfast in one single bite! Bananas, blueberries and almonds! These Jumbo Banana Blueberry Muffins have almond in the batter and are made with some almond flour as well. They’re so tender and crumbly! The top is crunchy thanks to a nice layer of Demerara sugar over them! You only need one bowl, a whisk and a wooden spoon, that’s it! NO mixer or special equipment required. And the cool thing with these is that you can make the batter the night before and just bake them the next morning.

When I wake up with that rush for making muffins, I know it’s going to be a nice, warm and slowly paced morning. I love the idea of taking a glance at different corners of my kitchen and being inspired to bake a fresh batch of muffins with what I already have. This morning I happened…

Super Creamy Espresso Cheesecake

You won’t find a creamier and silkier espresso cheesecake. The coffee taste is very present in each and every bite, without being bitter. The filling is ultra decadent but still airy, thanks to a trick I talk about below. And I made the chocolate crust with Dutch processed cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor. I’m telling you, this is the cheesecake you must have when you have your next cheesecake craving!! It’s so good and so special to me!

A few Christmases ago we bought my hubby an espresso machine. The big one with lots of shiny buttons that I wasn’t allow to touch during the early days. My husband has always bonded with our daughter over coffee because…

Blueberry Cream Cheese Sweet Rolls

These sweet rolls are bursting with blueberry flavor in each bite! They’re filled with a spread of cream cheese and a homemade blueberry compote where you can see the whole blueberries on it, making these perfectly satisfying and not overly sweet. A pretty purplish cream cheese icing bring these to a whole new level! Oh, and these are perfectly made the day before, another big yes for these soft gooey rolls!!

Sweet rolls is something we can crave most mornings. Pretty sure you can crave them too. I love the idea of just grabbing a piece of something for breakfast without too much thought…

Double Carrot Carrot Cake with the Creamiest Cream Cheese Frosting

Double carrots, double the fun, right?! This carrot cake has both puréed carrots and shredded carrots in the mix. The result is an impossibly moist, light and tender cake. It has a good kick of cinnamon, besides ginger, nutmeg and cardamom. This time I folded chopped walnuts, which I toast before to bring more nuttiness out of them. It’s simply a perfect rendition of a classic carrot cake. I know you won’t be able to eat just one piece.

And why double, you maybe wondering? Well, if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I started making carrot cakes with pureed carrots so my daughter Mariana could eat them and actually…
