Candy Corn Pudding

I already stocked up on Halloween candy while I was in the US (back in September) and you can’t imagine how ready I am to devour it! While supermarkets in Austria are selling Christmas cookies and advent calendars, I have been waiting to eat my Halloween candy. No trick or treating involved, just the candy and I on the couch, that is the plan this year.

This year, I was also able to get my hands on candy corn, a fondant candy made out of corn syrup and sugar, shaped like kernels of corn. While I’m not a big fan of the taste, I love the color combination for Halloween. It is definitely a Halloween must-have. For that reason, I created a Candy Corn pudding lookalike, made out of three different pudding layers: vanilla, mango and coconut.

Raspberry Amaretto Cake

This cake is one of my favorites to make (and to eat!). A raspberry cake with a subtle Amaretto flavor that is so light and fluffy that you could easily eat half of it at once. I sure know because I have done it before!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots

Cookies and milk are an unbeatable combination when it comes to an afternoon (or even a midnight) snack. Dominique Ansel, who also invented the Cronut™, came up with this genius creation that incorporates both into one golden, crispy dessert. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Shot is a chocolate chip cookie shaped like a shot glass. The scrumptious exterior consists of chocolate chip cookie dough, baked to perfection. The insides are brushed with melted chocolate, making the cookie shot sturdy enough to hold delicious organic milk.

Whipped Nutella

Today I have something quite special for you to make: Indulge in homemade, decadent whipped Nutella! You can thank me later ;)

Once you have tried homemade Nutella you won’t go back to the store-bought kind. And it is so easy to make! Once you have your hazelnuts sorted out (=skinned), the food processor or blender will basically do the job for you. My whipped Nutella is also healthier. You won’t need any additional oil and there are no artificial flavors or other nasties added. You can alter the chocolate to your preference and could even try to make a dairy-free version, using dark chocolate.

Easter Carrot Cupcakes – Gluten-free

Today, I wanted to share with you a quick and easy DIY. How you can quickly decorate any cake to make it ‘Easter-appropriate’. You can use any cake you might have on hand. It does not have to be carrot cake. I just thought that this was appropriate because you know Easter – bunny – bunnies eat carrots :D

Gluten-free Chocolate Eggs

Easter is all about chocolate, but I have a healthier recipe for you today: Gluten-free chocolate eggs made of natural almond butter.

As you may already know I am a big fan of almond butter. I love almond butter cookies, so I thought why not try to make Easter candy with almond butter.
