Easy chocolate crinkles recipe

by

Soft, delicious and easy chocolate crinkles recipe with orange zest that is perfect for the holidays.

The dessert season is here! I love baking cookies during the holidays. So, as they get older, my kids have grown to love cookies especially this time of the year. Usually I bake these cookies. However, this year, I have decided to make chocolate crinkles. I love the fissures that the cookies have beneath the icing sugar.

Chocolate and coffee mousse recipe

by

Chocolate and coffee mousse recipe is the ultimate recipe for all chocolate and coffee lovers! I obviously love anything chocolate. However, I don’t drink coffee; but I enjoy coffee in desserts. I was trying to combine both flavours into something that isn’t heavy. A mousse is a French technique used in dessert, mostly to make an ingredient light and airy. Chocolate mousse is a very popular recipe that is surprisingly easy to make. There are quite a few versions of chocolate mousses out there. I wanted to keep the recipe simple and effective. The goal is to taste the chocolate and coffee and keep it light.

How to make spongy madeleines recipe

by

Spongy madeleines recipe is incredibly easy to make and will be eaten as fast as you make them. Madeleines are French mini cakes that are shell shaped and are plump and spongy. They are very popular in France and are usually flavoured with vanilla or citrus zest. These spongy madeleines are my kids’ favourite and they can’t get enough of them every time that I make them. They call them “surf boards”! LOL

African beignets (puff puff) with mango sauce

by

African beignets, also known as mikate in Congo, puff-puff in western Africa, are a very popular dessert/snack in Africa. These beignets come with a mango sauce with mint leaves. They are so delicious; I could eat them at any time of the day. Contrary to New Orleans beignets, the mikate are made with just flour and sugar, which are dipped fried later on.

Almond cake with citrus fruits and clementine gelée

by

Almond cake with citrus and clementine gelée is another great dessert that celebrates every summer. In this dessert you will find lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit and clementine. The combination of flavors and the light cake is out of this world! I wanted to reproduce something that I ate in Paris the last time I went. I have always enjoyed the French gastronomy, especially when it comes to dessert. When I was in Paris couple of years ago, I made it a point to be a gastronomic tourist. Every day my goal was to try different eateries or restaurants to taste the food. A dream! I spent the day doing just that while my husband was exploring art galleries. It was THE best experience! I have never had so much fun eating! LOL
