Pecan Brownie Cheesecake

Tweet

If you have been following this blog for a while, you will undoubtedly have noticed that I have quite a sweet tooth. 

I never really figured out if I love baking because I enjoy tasting the finished product or if it is the other way around. Whatever the reason, it should come as no surprise that I like to spend part of my spare time perusing the gigantic cooking library that is the world wide web. 

It is during one of those surfing sessions that I came across this dessert, combining two well known and much loved sweet treats : a Brownie Cheesecake.

Daring Bakers - Karl-Gustav cake, a Prinsesstårta variation

Tweet

I am a bit late with the post of this month's challenge, but as the saying goes ... better late than never, right? :o)

Korena of Korena in the Kitchen was our May Daring Bakers’ host and she delighted us with this beautiful Swedish Prinsesstårta!

I never heard of Prinsesstårta before this challenge, even though we spent a whole week in Stockholm last year.  I feel like I missed out on a great foodie experience, because this cake is truly delicious.  Another reason to go back to the lovely Swedish capital?

Daring Bakers - White chocolate and parsnip cake

Tweet

At the third attempt, my white chocolate and parsnip cake has finally left the oven in an edible version. Yes ! I think it might need a bit more tweaking as it still came out slightly too moist, but after my many failed vegetable cakes, you won't hear me complaining (too much).

Homemade hazelnut chocolate spread (Nutella)

Tweet

Like most kids from industrialised counties, I grew up with Nutella.  Countless times when my mother wasn't watching, I would dig in the familiar jar and walk away with a spoonful/s (read tablespoonful/s) of the chocolate goodness.  And to this day, although I have tried different brands and types of chocolate spread, I keep coming back to the well-known Italian brand.  Because whoever has tasted Nutella will tell you, it really is taste-wise the best around.

Triple Choc Rice Pudding

Tweet

Rice pudding is one of the easiest sweets around : very few ingredients and no effort preparation for a very sweet and traditional dessert.  I wanted to jazz up my usual recipe by adding chocolate to it and although I am still slightly startled when I look at the finished result (because my rice pudding have always been whitish up to now), it has defininetely a great taste.
