Eclairs

Exlairs (or ‘Brandteigkrapferl’ in German) are on my todo list for quite a while. Today I got around to finally give them a try. The filling is not what I would go with the next time, but it is a solid start.

Faschingskrapfen

Faschingskrapfen are a very well known dessert in austria. You can get them all year long, but most ‘Krapfn’ are usually eaten during carnival time. The recipe is amazing, though quite a lot of work. After finishing tweaking this recipe Ill try to get a faster and easier version down for sure.

Apple Compote

Its apple season. Time to make some apple compote. The recipe is pretty standard, nothing too special about it (yet). I would consider it a good baseline for further experiments.

Peach Jam

Our second jam this season has a twist. We wanted to add some acidity to the extreme sweetness of the peaches. Rather than go for the default lemon acid we decided to use pineapple instead. Not enough to actually taste it, but enough to give the jam an amazing exotic acidity.

Currant Meringue Cake

Red currant meringue cake is one of the cakes I remember dearly from my childhood. My mother usually baked it on a flat baking tray though I adapted the recipe to a small spring form to fit our needs.

Mozart Dumplings

This recipe started out as a joke, though ended up being something really special. Its delicious, but very, very filling. Its intended to be a dessert, though two of them usually totally fill me up, and I would consider them enough as a whole main dish.

Crispy Sweet Sour Tofu

I always assumed sweet sour sauce requires some exotic ingredients and is hard to make. I was wrong. Its one of the simplest sauces you can make. For my first try I made sweet sour sauce with crispy tofu. I’m sure Ill try this with a lot of other things in the future.

Beginner Chocolate Coffee Cake

This is my first try on a chocolate cake. I decided to make the process as easy and fast as possible. Naturally this leaves space for improvements here and there. Though I would argue that, while the process is very simplistic, the result is still pretty fancy. And of course delicious.

Poppy Cake With Lemon Glaze

This is one of the unhealthiest but best cakes Ive made in a long time. The combination of lemon sugar and poppy is insanely good. Also its gluten free, in case you are in need of a gluten free dessert.

While this was supposed to be the base recipe for more variations to come I decided to add a hint of ginger and a bit of chili to spice it up. The result is sweet, soft, chocolaty and simply delicious.

Easy Truffles

Another very simple recipe that uses the caramelized condensed milk. The base recipe is solid though it would benefit from some additional flavor kicks to be outstanding.
