Apples and autumn – there’s really not much more to say, right? When the first apples are harvested in autumn, there’s no way to not use them for baking. We do something delicious with these little fruits almost every week. Something like this Easy Apple Galette (with Fennel Seeds), for example. This delicious dish is super easy to prepare and tastes even better with some vanilla ice cream on top or on the side!
Today we got a gnocchi dish that’s a bit different – instead of a savory meal, we have prepared a sweet dessert using simple potato gnocchi. Delicious Sweet Gnocchi with Damson Plum & Apple Compote. We also call it Gnocchi »Schmarrn« in honor of the classic Austrian dessert »Kaiserschmarrn« everybody knows. The two desserts are not really related, but close friends, let’s say it like that. ;P
Peaches and summer go together like Hansel and Gretel or Jack and Jill. They are made for each other! ;P My mom always gave us some peaches when we were going to the lake for a swim. So good. Nowadays, I prefer using them for baking. For this delicious Peach Cobbler, for example. With some ice cream on top or some vanilla custard on the side, the perfect summer dessert!
A delicious dessert after a nice dinner is generally considered the perfect way to end a meal (hopefully not the evening). Well, we don’t just enjoy these delicious Chocolate Chia Pudding Cheesecake Trifles after dinner. We prepare these small sweet treats whenever we are in the mood for something delicious – day or night. ;P Chia is healthy, they say. So a little glass of his chia pudding here and there can’t be that bad, right? ;P
There are so many things you can do with fresh strawberries. Many people will probably prefer to eat them just as they are, perhaps with a little whipped cream… Well, we also like to use them for baking! A simple Strawberry Crumble is quick and easy to prepare, and it tastes really delicious! Hot berries with crispy streusels and a little vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce on top… an absolute dream! ;)
A delicious dessert doesn’t always have to be complicated – a few simple ingredients, some stirring, and you’ve got something delicious on the table. These little glass jars with Strawberry & Lemon Mascarpone Mousse are definitely from that »quick dessert« category. It doesn’t always take a three-tier layer cake to satisfy a sweet tooth. Also, better than just a piece of chocolate shoved into your mouth when you’re craving something sweet. Right? ;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 ;)
