Strawberry Tiramisù

egg-free

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 here, here 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.




Apple and Almond Cake, The A & A Cake

almond cake

Lately I've been really into cakes, which is quite strange since we are in the month of june. Let me explain. 
At this time of the year it should be nice and hot, so that the only threat that you could give yourself should consist of ice-cream. But this year it hasn't been neither summer, neither spring weather.
So I had to rely on those traditional filling desserts which are cakes.

 I decided tot make an Apple and Almond Cake (I am going to call it the A & A Cake). I just made my basic yogurt cake (which is a family recipe) and added apples and almonds (to enrich it a little bit).


For the A & A Cake you will need:

 1 pot yogurt (125 gr)(obviously)
1 pot vegetable oil
2 pots white sugar and vanilla sugar
3 pots all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2 apples, peeled and sliced
40 gr almond flakes

 Preheat your oven at 170°C.

 Whisk the first 5 ingredients together. Separate the eggs. Add the egg yolks. 
Beat the egg whites until they're nice and fluffy. Add them slowly to the first mix.

 Butter and flour your tin (23 cm) and pour half of the mix into the tin and put the half of the apples in it. Pour the remaining mix on top of the apple-layer. Add the remaining apples, make sure to make a beautiful layer. Sprinkle the almond flakes on top.

 Bake it in the pre-heated oven for 45 to 50 minutes.

 Take it out. Let it cool on rack.

 Serve

I also made a mini one and that's how it looked like at the inside ...



Tasty isn't it! The next recipe will be a little bit more salty and fishy. On that final note.

Goodbye
