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
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 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

I like to diversify my desserts. When thinking of dessert, we mostly think of pastry, cakes, ice cream, etc… If you are not fond of butter, eggs, milk, and so on, poached pears is a good alternative. It is a simple dessert that is very easy to make and has so much flavor and aroma.
