We couldn’t resist to put shaved coconut on top. Just for a bit of coloring. As we have many (cheeky) monkeys in the BUX office, we run out of banana’s so we had to leave them out of this recipe. We can imagine the cake taste ever nicer with the banana’s, but without it was…

Mixed berry filo millefeuille
Baking the filo millefeuille was easier then I thought it would be. As I had to make dessert for many, a made a huge one instead of cutting it all in rectangles. The mascarpone with the yoghurt, double cream, lemon and icing sugar is just divine. Instead of the pistachios we used shaved almonds ;-),…
CHOCOLATE PEANUT SLICE !
Now, making dessert in the BUX office is a big thing. Thursday dessert day is the favorite day of many BUXsters, so no pressure for me cooking that day 😉 This week I decided to make this great recipe. I went completely over the top by adding more and more ingredients to the dish. I…
Croquembouche
Dulce de leche filling & chocolate sauce This Croquembouche didn’t really work out the way it was planned. As one of my colleagues said: a D.I.Y. dessert! As my buns turned out fine, the dulce de leche was not what it supposed to be like. I will definitely try this another time, and boil the…
Orange and cinnamon syrup cake
For sure something different, the almond meal and the buckwheat flour make the cake heavy but very satisfying to eat. And on top of that, the smell in the kitchen was like autumn: cinnamon & oranges. – enjoy – INGREDIENTS (Serves 8–10) 2 medium oranges 3 eggs ½ cup (85g) rapadura sugar 1¼ cups (150g)…
Pancake cake
I have to say, the whole thing fell apart as I was cutting the cake in smaller pieces. It was for sure my own fault as it was so fresh and the cream wasn’t thick enough. Next time the cake will need a little more rest in the fridge and the double cream will be…
Not just “a chocolate mousse”
It took a little time to set, but o boy, when it was ready to be eaten… colleagues were elbowing each other over the chocolate mouse bowl to fill their little cups till the brim and top it up with raspberries. Another Thursday dessert day feast in the BUX kitchen. INGREDIENTS (Serves 2) 200g dark…
OMG! Irish Cream Tiramisu
Not being funny, but this is the Tiramisu of the Tiramisu’s. The Queen of dessert. The most heavenly taste ever. Baileys is the trick, and of course the Sabayone or Zabaglione as the Italians say. (the eggyolks with the sugar and the booze). Do try this at home. You owe it to yourself 😉 -enjoy-…
Chocolate fruit and nut crisp
No Nuts! Just Fruit! We made a dark chocolate and a milk chocolate one, both delicious. Make sure you buy good quality chocolate, that absolutely makes this crisp. And don’t forget the sea salt flakes 😉 -enjoy- Serves 10 hazelnuts 100g, shelled dark chocolate 400g mixed crystallised fruits – pears, citron, clementines 400g in total…
Chocolate, orange and almond biscotti
Our Italian colleagues in the BUX office gave these biscotti’s the big thumbs up. No need to say more…just delicious. PS: we ate the biscotti’s when the chocolate was still warm… -enjoy- INGREDIENTS (Makes 35) 1 cup (150g) plain flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting 1 teaspoon baking powder, sifted 2 tablespoons cocoa, sifted…
