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
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.

I don’t have a big repertoire of recipes for cookies. For some reason, I have always thought they were harder to make. However, I decided last year to try to make sablés with coconut flakes. They were a hit! I like to make them during the holiday since I already make chocolate cake , mousse. So there isn’t a need for chocolate chips cookies.
