Gourmet desserts worthy of the crown
Finally, Summer is here! Yes, today is officially the first day of Summer, and so I thought it would be fitting to celebrate with a frosty and refreshing dessert. This pistachio semifreddo is to die for. It is made with a homemade pistachio paste that you mix into the semifreddo for an intense pistachio flavor. …
This week’s recipe is a traditional portuguese staple. I love our orange swiss roll, especially when it has that juicy texture. It is a simple dessert to prepare, you only need to mix its 7 ingredients and bake. My version switches the wheat flour for cornflour for a gluten free take. The one complex step …
I have been looking to try out more gluten-free recipes, since I realized how beneficial they can be for our health. For people with digestive issues, it really makes a huge difference. And, thankfully, alternatives to glúten are becoming common and sometimes are even tastier. That is the case for this cake, which replaces the …

I must admit I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day. Not that there is anything wrong with celebrating love, but it feels forced to me. If you have someone special in your life, you should try to show your affection every day, not just on a specific holiday. I also think it is a …
Here comes a very out-of-the-box cheesecake. It has a crispy Oreo crust and creamy chocolate filling. But the star of the recipe is the topping, a mix of coconut and walnuts that is to die for. I usually prefer no-bake cheesecakes for how light they are. However, this one is quite intense, with a strong …
Do you know those cakes that have that classic wintery vibe? This is orange and lemon cake is one of those. It goes perfectly with a nice warm drink and a Netflix binge. For the cozy Sundays, the cold days that make us want to stay in the comfort of our home. It leaves a …
I would like to wish everyone a happy new year, and that you all have a very sweet 2024! If it is up to me, you certainly will, since I’ll still be here sharing recipes every week. To start the year well, I bring you a very fancy dessert: panacota. I had already shared here …
