5 best African beignets (PUFF-PUFF) Recipes Round Up

by

By now, most of you know that I love making, eating and developing all sorts of African beignets (also called puff-puff), recipes. This delicacy is very popular throughout sub-Saharan Africa. It might be known under different names but the cooking process is roughly the same everywhere.

I thought I would do a roundup of succulent puff-puff recipes that would make you fall in love with them like never before. For those of you that are just discovering them, I guarantee that you will not be bored with this selection. I would suggest, trying different recipes, at least one per week. Wait. We can even create a special puff-puff month…stay tuned.

I have selected these recipes because I find them original and easy to follow.

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.

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
