Can I be honest with you? I think Biscoff cookies are terrible! Why? Because they are soo delicious! Sounds like a clickbait title, but it’s true ;) The cookies taste like caramel and are super tasty, but thanks to all that added sugar they have, they are really not good for me (as a diabetic). I really have to hold myself back here. Same for this delicious Biscoff Cheesecake here. I would love to jump right in and eat it completely by myself… but no. Not possible ;P
San Sebastian Cheesecakes, also known as Basque Burnt Cheesecakes, are super creamy and super delicious cheesecakes with a typical “burnt” top. Burnt may sound a bit extreme tbh. Most of the time, these types of cheesecakes are just a bit darker. But it’s the “darker” surface that gives the cake a special touch and flavors. This one here got a few cherries added. It’s summer and I think that fits quite well ;)
Strawberries are simply delicious – I assume most people will probably agree with that. As soon as the season starts these little red fellas can be found everywhere. Most likely in (and on top) many of my desserts and cakes. I just love to use them everywhere. This delicious No-Bake Strawberry Mousse Cheesecake is just one of many delicious cakes you can make with strawberries. Not many cakes are as good as this one here I might add. This one here is a really nice one ;P
In summer I really love to use all the fresh fruits and berries in my bakes – strawberries, cherries, or raspberries – all so good. But to be honest, raspberries have always been my favorites. The flavors are incredible… if they had enough sun and warmth to grow properly ;) Strawberries and cherries are great, but raspberries top everything. I wish I had a big raspberry bush in my garden, then I could constantly bake cakes like this Ricotta Raspberry Cake. Well, in summer at least. In winter it gets a bit difficult even with your own raspberry bush ;P
Cheesecake and cherries are always a good combination – especially in summer when you can get fresh cherries from farmers close by at the local farmer’s market. But even in winter, you can bake this Cottage Cheese Cheesecake with Cherries, if you want. You just have to use canned cherries or frozen ones from the store (you can also freeze them easily yourself). Fortunately, cherries can be stored for quite a while, and using those cherries in a bake like this one here is absolutely fine ;)
When the cherry season starts with locally grown cherries at the markets there is only one way to celebrate this event: baking some Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies with Cherries. Loads of chocolate, a creamy cheesecake mixture plus some fresh cherries – a brilliant combination! Add a little dollop of whipped cream on top and you will not hear a word from me for about 10 minutes – well and probably half of the brownies will be gone… but that only happens if you leave me alone ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
