Happy Halloween! Oh well… it’s probably not even Halloween yet if you ended up here looking for something bloody to bake ;) People normally do that days in advance. Looking for something to serve at a Halloween party. Well, if you like spooky stuff you are in the right place. These (Halloween) Intestines Cinnamon Rolls will make people say “oohh” or “aaah”. I’m pretty sure! And not only because this bake looks creepy, but also because the cinnamon rolls are super yummy ;)
You are expecting many guests and you want to serve a dessert that is as easy and not too complicated? How about a trifle? This Giant Summer Trifle with Cherries & Mango will feed a lot of people. I mean it. Only make it if you are expecting a lot of people, otherwise, you will have leftovers for sure. Even the biggest dessert fans will have a lot of work here and probably not be able to finish this trifle. Believe me… I tried ;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 ;)
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 ;)
Summer is the perfect time for galettes. They are super easy to prepare and with all the fruits and berries in summer you got so many options. This one here is made with loads of fresh cherries and to make it look fun, it got the shape of a little star. Something different for a change ;) I could have also made a rectangle, but a star just looks better in this case ;P
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 ;)
