One of my best friends came over for diner so I decided to make her a special dessert as I know she loves Cointreau; Panna Cotta with orange, mint and Cointreau. Fortunately, the taste was goooood!! Unfortunately the texture was a bit too much jelly-pudding-like. But I found how to fix it so with this recipe you will have both the taste as well as the structure right!
More comfort food! Lovely, tasty caramel sauce for over your desserts! You can make the sauce and keep it in a closed jar so that you can use it at a later stage, you can keep it for quite some time. It stays nice and smooth but doesn't hard out so you can use it even without re-heating it.
Sweet, warm bananas, vanilla ice-cream and warm home-made caramel sauce........Finger-licking good! I just love caramel, it's one of my secret sins. I'm not a huge fan of desserts but anything with caramel I will take! Making caramel sauce yourself is kind of difficult because you have to be really patient but it is worth the effort!
I am not the biggest dessert fan but I do really enjoy home made ice cream! This time I made ice cream with fresh mint and lemon zest and it is a nice and fresh ice cream. A perfect combination with the warm, grilled pineapple.
A fresh, semi-sweet and home made dessert. I'm not a huge fan of really sweet desserts therefore I really like this one. It's got the softness of the mascarpone, a bit of sweetening from the honey and a fresh addition from the mint. And the fresh figs complete the picture. Enjoy
Airy chocolate mousse with passion fruit. The passion fruit gives a bit of a kick to the dish that I personally really like. It's an unexpected combination that takes away the 'heaviness' of the chocolate mousse.
Homemade mousse from stewed pears! Great invention! I really liked this combination with warm mousse and vanilla ice cream. Very tasty!
Caramel....my guilty pleasure! Desserts are (as you know by now) not my favorite type of dish but whenever there is something called caramel on the menu I am in!
Sweet risotto!! Lovely dessert! And that's coming from me, the non-dessert lover. I can only say; Enjoy this one!
Warm apple turnovers, cozy Sunday, a good book, a hot cup of tea.... mmmmm I'm already looking forward to coming Sunday.
