When you talk about »Buchteln« here in Berlin, you often get strange looks. It’s just not a common name for this type of bake here – it’s more frequently used in the south of Germany. In English, you would probably call these Apple Pie Buchteln something like Apple Pie Sweet Rolls with Streusels, I assume. Whatever you want to call them – these fluffy rolls are super delicious and quite easy to prepare (if you like to work with yeast dough) ;)
There are so many delicious things you can make for dessert. The choice can be quite overwhelming, to be honest. If you are as indecisive as me sometimes, I recommend trying this simple Peaches ‘n’ Berries Summer Cobbler and serving it with some ice cream on top. It’s an extremely tasty dessert that can be prepared in no time at all and doesn’t require fancy ingredients. Most of them can be found in your kitchen cabinets I assume – with one small exception maybe ;)
Strawberries are in season in summer and can be found everywhere – in every supermarket, at every farmer’s market, and in my kitchen, of course! I prefer the ones from local farms in the area (we have quite a lot of strawberry farmers in the area) – they are always very fresh and delicious! If you got some of them at home yourself, plus some ladyfingers, mascarpone, and heavy cream you could theoretically make this delicious Summer Strawberry Tiramisu right away ;) It’s an absolute favorite here at home and really easy to prepare. And it looks good I think. That’s important too, right? ;P
As soon as the first berries are available from local farmers I love to make this Baked Rice Pudding with Berries. It’s a great dessert to show off the first berries of the season ;P Also an absolutely easy treat to prepare and all in all super delicious! It brings back childhood memories every time I make it! This rice pudding with a (tiny) mountain of whipped cream and fresh berries is not only very tasty, but it’s also a great option if you got guests coming over. Give everyone a spoon and let them dive in! ;P
Desserts can be so simple. If you want to serve something sweet relatively quickly that also looks really fancy and delicious, check out this easy Vegan Biscoff Cream Dessert. With only a few ingredients, you really have something delicious on the table in record time. That’s how it should always be, right? ;)
In France, they got a seemingly endless supply of delicious sweet treats it seems. French Pâtisserie is an important part of French culture. One of my favorite sweet treats I am, unfortunately, not making often enough, is Paris Brest. Rings of choux pastry with a nutty, caramel cream filling. Soooo extremely (and dangerously) delicious! There’s no other way to say it… ;)
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 ;)
