To me brioches and Easter go hand in hand. They make great gifts or a lovely breakfast option for yourself ;)
Brioches just scream comfort food! The smell that encloses the kitchen.. The soft and delicate dough that you get to enjoy when they are finally done.. This is what pure happiness tastes like :)
Easter is just around the corner!
Today I have a cute DIY food project for you: Completely edible Easter eggs.
These filled chocolate Easter eggs were so much fun to make and taste delicious! I used semi-sweet chocolate for the shells and filled them with a homemade vanilla pudding, topped with a teaspoon of homemade orange curd. I might never make store-bought vanilla pudding again (sorry Dr. Oetker) because this one tastes so delicious and is (almost) as easy to make!
Today I will be sharing with you my version of a British classic, the Victoria Sponge Cake. It is a very simple cake, traditionally consisting of a fluffy sponge, filled with jam and whipped cream or buttercream. My problem: I don’t like whipped cream or buttercream. Whipped cream is something I’ve never been a fan of. In my opinion it doesn’t taste like much and I would never order whipped cream on top of ice cream or hot chocolate. And buttercream to me tastes as if you would take a bite of a stick of butter, drenched in lots of sugar. So you can see my dilemma, liking the idea of a British Victoria Sponge Cake but not the actual implementation.
My new favorite drink at Starbucks is the Vanilla Spice Latte. Usually I find Starbucks’ signature drinks overly sweet but with the Vanilla Spice Latte I was pleasantly surprised. The spices-infused syrup adds a nice contrast to the sweetness of the vanilla. It is a tasty treat on a cold winter day and the spices will warm you up from the inside.
It’s nearly Valentine’s Day! If you are still on the quest for a heart-warming dessert you don’t have to look no more! I have a special dish to share with you so that you can woo your boo this Friday :D
The best part about this dessert? Apart from being delicious, it is also ridiculously easy to make and can be prepared in advance!
