Have you heard of or tried a caramelised apple cake before? If you haven’t you should!
First off, the middle of the cake consists of nice caramelised apples and then it’s topped off with caramel over it.
Optional: can add raisins, rum or cinnamon.
Ingredient: Eggs
Cardamom Infused Lemon Curd Cake
Cardamom and citrus are always an enjoyable combination with tea. So I combined these 2 flavors into a cardamom infused lemon curd cake.
It comes with a spongy texture along with a creamy one making it a great tasty contrast. The curd recipe is based on the one made for my sweet & sour lemon meringue pie.
Let me know if you know other interesting flavor(s) that could pair nicely with the lemon.
Crème Brûlée Cheesecake
A cheesecake without dairy? Yes, it’s true! This Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is actually a New York cheeseless cheesecake, prepared with soy yogurt and soy cream in place of traditional ingredients.
For the crust of the cake I used my recipe of cookies, so I’m sure about them being dairy free.
There is little sugar in this recipe to balance with the topping of your choice that will be sweet, here there is a layer of caramelised sugar to mimic a ‘crème brûlée’, a fruit coulis/sauce would also be very sweet.
Ecstatically Chocolate Éclair
Chocolate éclair is the pastry that you can find in any boulangerie in France. Commonly flavored with chocolate or coffee and situated close to the counter when you buy your daily bread, you can’t not see them.
Éclair can be translated as ‘flash’, it is called like this because it can be eaten very fast.
The beginning of the recipe is the to prepare the chocolate custard. Feel free to replace the chocolate custard by any flavor of your choice, vanilla, hazelnut …
Deconstructed Eggs
It was on a Friday night, I only had eggs in my fridge and felt like trying something new. Why not taking the egg and not preparing them in the same way, hence deconstructed eggs.
I went totally freestyle, combining bits and pieces I saw on videos or on TV. I ended up with very interesting mix of textures, there is lot of things I could improve on this recipe but the main ideas are there.
Not so magic Brownie
This brownie recipe is really easy to make. I suggest to prepare it the day before and leave it in the fridge overnight, it gives time to the chocolate to settle and make the brownie more moist and chewy.
In this recipe I used walnuts but you can replace by any type of nuts.
