This is a delightful treat! The cream is rich and decadent, the crust is delicate and sweet, the tart fruit adds a bit of surprise to the mix. Make it in advance for your guests or family and have vanilla-smelling kitchen for days 🙂
Imagine a cheesecake, that is actually good for you… Well, enter quark, the star of today´s bake! This cake is a Czech classic, but every family makes it a little differently. This version uses beaten egg whites to lighten up the quark layer, almond slivers for a bit of crunch and fruit on top for another bit of flavour.
I spoke about the benefits of quark before but I cannot stress it´s goodness enough. If you can get it where you live, make sure to give it a try and get a load. If you can´t, you could replace it with some soft cheese, but try something not too runny. Add fresh or tinned fruit, or make it without, and make sure to have enough, as everybody will be coming for more 🙂
If you have tons of produce, this pie, heavy in fruit and light in cream, is just for you!
There is not much I can actually say about this recipe, other than it might be even tastier than it looks. If possible.
No really, it is this tasty!
Well, one thing maybe. It is also incredibly simple to make and quite versatile, too! So, I can in fact say three things about it 🙂 Continue reading
This week, the Sunday bake is a bit early, as we are going on a trip tomorrow. This time I experimented with pie filling. What I came up with is a combination of nice, creamy raspberry, mixed with gooey white chocolate!
It is so gooey it runs out!
Today I have something of a fancier bake for you. It is a little more laborious than some of the previous ones, but certainly worth it 🙂 This pie is a great recipe not only for apricots, but for other slightly more sour fruits such as gooseberries or currants or even tart cherries I suppose.
