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 swirl tiramisu

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…

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-…

Not So Red Velvet Cupcakes

Thursday Dessert Day! Haha, Nigella says it herself in the Method, the color of the cupcakes turn out not to be so red after all! But they are velvet, for sure. We had some little meringue toppings left so that’s what we opted for, instead of chocolate sprinkles or red sugar. They taste delicious. I…

Hummingbird cake

Never we have seen so many colleagues hanging around the kitchen island @BUX HQ! They could not get enough of this cake. The Buxers did eat all the banana’s this week so I did have to leave them out of this recipe. But no worries, the taste was still scrumptious. You have to try this…

Eton Mess

There are so many variations of this delicious dessert, you can make it as messy as you like! This recipe is simple but delightful. I made it in little jam pots for my colleagues at Bux last week, they looked so irresistible together.   Ingredients (serves 8) 16 small meringue cookies
, 250 g mascarpone
, 200…

Clementine & almond syrup cake

Three cakes was just enough to give all of the Buxers a good slice of this delicious sweetness. The clementines were swopped by oranges (make that 2 in grated zest and juices) and of course we went for the optional part, chocolate! Instead of orange zest in the centre to finish it of, we opted…

Almond and pear tarts

These tarts above became little pear parcels as I didn’t have enough puff pastry. But, hey, don’t they look cute? I also cheated a little with the pears. In red wine pre- cooked and tinned pears were used. ;-0 (The picture is before they went into the oven) INGREDIENTS (makes 6) 4 sheets frozen butter…
