Strawberry Pie

A classic strawberry tart with a crispy shortcrust pastry base, sweet almond filling, airy pastry cream, and fresh strawberries on top. A delightful summer tart, perfect for coffee or the dessert table. In this recipe, I use a tart ring to bake the shortcrust pastry, which makes it extra crispy and beautiful. If you don't have a tart ring, you can also use a springform pan or a regular tart pan. However, this will make the shortcrust pastry less crispy, as it won't get air circulating around the edges.

Puff Pastry Apples

Get into the autumn spirit with these incredibly easy small apple snacks wrapped in delicious puff pastry and cinnamon sugar. The number of strips and slices of apples naturally depends on the size of the apple. The slices of apple can be somewhat thick, so if there are enough for 7 thick slices, simply cut your puff pastry into 14 strips.

Moist Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is super delicious and moist with a deep chocolate flavor. The cake contains no eggs, making it a bit easier and cheaper to make. It also means it can be soft in the middle. Top with a delicious chocolate cream. It can be adjusted, for example, with white chocolate instead. The cake is delightful on its own, so the cream can easily be omitted.
