Nutella Swirls

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8

If you like cinnamon rolls and cardamom twists, these Nutella swirls are just for you! Here, I've made homemade Nutella, which is really easy and has a distinct and delicious taste of roasted hazelnuts. Of course, you can also just use the original Nutella from a jar. The dough for the Nutella swirls is a brioche dough, which makes it deliciously soft and not too sweet.

Raspberry Slices

Raspberry slices are a classic Danish pastry consisting of two layers of shortcrust pastry with a sweet layer of raspberry jam in between. They are typically topped with icing and often sprinkled with carnival sprinkles, adding an extra sweet touch. They are perfect for the coffee table, as a cozy weekend cake, or when you need a little extra indulgence. Some prefer to assemble them with jam after they have been baked, but I think it gives an extra delicious flavor to bake the jam with it, making it more of a cake rather than just a biscuit with jam - of course, you choose yourself.
