Strawberry Tiramisù


I wanted to make a light, summery, egg-free dessert.
For that purpose I used yogurt instead of mascarpone and a strawberry syrup instead of coffee.
People often state that a tiramisù without coffee and mascarpone isn't a real tiramisù.
Nonetheless I decided to call it a tiramisù.



I took major inspiration herehere and here .


For this summer dessert you will need:

Strawberries (washed)
Boudoirs or savoiardi (depending on how you like to call them)
125 gr yogurt
10 gr vanilla sugar
100 ml water
33 gr sugar
Optional: rum (if only served for adults)


Take about eight strawberries and cut/chop them in four. 
Then start to make your syrup by putting your water and sugar (the 33 grams) in a pot on medium heat. Let it not boil, but make sure the sugar has dissolved. At that point take the pot of the heat and add your chopped strawberries and a splash of rum.

Make then the "cream" by beating up the yogurt with the 10 gr vanilla sugar.

Then it's time to assemble the dessert.

Soak your boudoirs in the syrup. Align them in a glass container making sure to leave as less as possible space between them. Pour half of the "cream" on that range.

Soak again some boudoirs and align them as I stipulated above. 

TIP: If you still have some strawberries in your syrup put them on top of the boudoirs

Pour the remaining cream on the boudoirs.

Leave in the fridge to let it cool down!



Before serving slice a couple of strawberries and decorate your tiramisù.




Cherry Clafoutis from Michalak


After a tiring month I can finally make some time for my blog.
As we have a cherry tree that produces lovely cherries (back in july), I decided to make a Clafoutis.
But I didn't wanted to make the traditional, "sticky" clafoutis; so I went for the unconventional one from Michalak (he's a well known patissier in France and Belgium).

I found the recipe on the website of Mercotte. Mercotte is a popular blogger/blog on the blogosphere.


For a cake mould of 19 cm you will need:

130 gr almond flour
150 gr sugar 
20 gr maizena
4 eggs
130 gr sour cream
20 cherries (mine came from our tree)
Butter
Cassonade (it's a sort of sugar)


Pre heat your oven to 180° C.
Mix the two whole eggs, two egg yolks and the sugar together. 
Add in your sour cream.
Then add in the maizena and almond flour and mix as well. But don't overmix it neither.
Butter you tin and sprinkle it with sugar (instead of flour). 
Pour your mixture in the tin and bake for ten minutes. 
Take it out of the oven and put your cherries in the mixture, making sure their stems are on the surface.
Bake in the oven for twenty to twenty-five minutes.

Let it cool down a bit (if you can) and unmold.





Serve it "luke-warm".


And their you have your non-traditional, but still (or even more) delicious Clafoutis au cérises (or Cherry Clafoutis).
