  • Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Ingredients:

      • Strawberries: 200 g (fresh or frozen)
      • Sugar: 80 g
      • Milk: 400 ml
    • Cornstarch: 50 g (or any starch of your choice, such as arrowroot powder or potato starch)
    • Coconut Flakes: For garnish (optional, but recommended for added texture and flavor)

    These simple ingredients are all you need to create a decadent strawberry pudding that will transport you to a world of pure indulgence. The strawberries provide a fresh, fruity flavor, while the milk and cornstarch come together to create a silky-smooth texture. The sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness, and the optional coconut flakes bring a tropical flair that perfectly complements the flavor of the strawberries.

    Steps to Make Strawberry Pudding:

      1. Prepare the Strawberries:
        If you are using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. Cut them into small pieces and set them aside. If using frozen strawberries, simply thaw them and drain any excess water.
      2. Blend the Strawberries:
        Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier pudding, pulse a few times to leave some texture. For a smoother consistency, you can blend the mixture completely. Set aside.
      3. Make the Pudding Base:
        In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the milk from burning.
      1. Thicken the Pudding:
        While the milk mixture is heating, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold milk (about 50 ml) to create a smooth slurry. Once the milk and sugar mixture is simmering, gradually add the cornstarch mixture while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the pudding to a custard-like consistency. Continue stirring until the pudding reaches your desired thickness (about 5-8 minutes).
      2. Combine the Strawberry Puree:
        Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the blended strawberries to the pudding and stir until well incorporated. The heat of the pudding will allow the strawberry flavor to meld beautifully with the creamy base.
      3. Chill the Pudding:
        Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a large dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and cool. The pudding will thicken further as it chills.
    1. Garnish and Serve:
      Once the pudding is chilled and set, garnish with a sprinkle of coconut flakes and serve. You can also add additional toppings such as whipped cream, fresh mint, or extra sliced strawberries for a decorative touch.

Whether you’re craving a quick breakfast, a brunch spread, or a sweet dessert, this easy crepe recipe delivers light, buttery, and perfectly thin crepes every time. Let’s dive into this recipe and enjoy the art of making crepes!

    Ingredients:

    For the Crepe Batter:

    • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)

    Optional Toppings and Fillings:

    • Nutella, chocolate spread, or caramel
    • Fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries
    • Whipped cream
    • Powdered sugar
    • Cheese, ham, or sautéed vegetables for savory crepes

    Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. For sweet crepes, add granulated sugar as well.
    2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack in the eggs.
    3. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Start from the center and work your way outward, incorporating the flour bit by bit.
    4. Stir in the melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract (for sweet crepes). The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
    5. Let the batter rest for 15–30 minutes at room temperature for the best results. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in tender crepes.

    Step 2: Cook the Crepes

    1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
    2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
    3. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges start to lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown.
    4. Gently flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
    5. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on top of each other.

    Step 3: Serve

    1. Fill or top the crepes with your favorite ingredients such as Nutellafresh fruits, or cheese.
    2. Roll or fold the crepes and garnish with powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce on top.

    Tips for Perfect Crepes:

    • Consistent Batter: If your batter is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon of milk at a time.
    • Use the Right Pan: A non-stick skillet or crepe pan is ideal for easy flipping.
    • Rest the Batter: Letting the batter rest helps create a smoother and more tender texture.
    • Keep Warm: Cover cooked crepes with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the rest.

    Preparation Time:

    • Prep Time: 10 minutes
    • Rest Time: 15 minutes
    • Cook Time: 20 minutes
    • Total Time: 45 minutes

    Q&A for Perfect Crepes 

    Q: Can I make the crepe batter ahead of time?
    A: Yes, absolutely! You can make the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to give it a quick whisk before using to ensure it’s well-mixed.

    Q: My crepes keep tearing when I flip them. What am I doing wrong?
    A: It could be that the batter is too thick or the pan isn’t hot enough. Make sure the batter is thin and runny, and ensure your pan is preheated well before pouring the batter.

    Q: How can I store leftover crepes?
    A: Let the crepes cool completely, then stack them with a layer of parchment paper between each crepe. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store them in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

    Q: How do I reheat the crepes without losing their texture?
    A: To reheat, place the crepes in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side, or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.

    Vanilla cream rolls

    Ingredients

    For the custard cream (crema pastiera):

    • 3 egg yolks
    • 3 tablespoons 30 gr of all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup 100 gr of sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • 8 oz 235 ml of milk

    For the cannoncini:

    • 1 sheet of puff pastry defrosted (about 8 oz, 225 gr)
    • 1/4 cup 50 gr of sugar
    • 1 egg for egg wash
    • powdered sugar to decorate

    Instructions

    Start by preparing the custard cream (crema pastiera):

    • Warm up the milk until hot (not boiling).
    • In a medium-sized pan, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla extract, and flour, until light and fluffy.
    • Add the milk some at a time while whisking, making sure there are no lumps.
    • Set the pan over mediocre heat and stir continuously until it reaches a slow boil. The cream will thicken, so be careful not to let it stick to the bottom. Lower the flame and cook for a couple of more minutes, until you reach the desired thickness.
    • Pour the cream into a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool down. Chill for at least one hour.

    For the pastry horns:

    • Preheat the furnace to 400°F (200°C).
    • Spray some sugar on the counter and on top of the puff pastry and roll it out to a rectangle about 9 by 12 inches.
    • Cut into 12 strips (about 1 inch thick). Easy way to do it: cut the pastry into three parts, and then each part into four strips.
    • Roll each strip onto a horn mold (conical in shape). The pastry has to overlap (about half of the length).
    • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with seem (end of the strip) side down.
    • Beat one egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush lightly each pastry cone with the egg wash.
    • Make sure you keep the egg wash away from the mold. It will make it harder to remove the pastry horn from the mold once baked.
    • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
    • Let them cool down for a couple of minutes and gently remove from the mold.

    Why These Muffins Are Healthy:
    Why You’ll Love These Muffins:
    Preparation Time: 10 minutes
    Cook Time: 30 minutes
    Total Time: 40 minutes
    Servings: 12 muffins
    Ingredients:
    1 cup (90g) oatmeal
    1 cup (240ml) water
    2 eggs
    A pinch of salt
    1 tablespoon stevia sweetener
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 ripe bananas, mashed
    1 tablespoon cocoa powder (7g)
    1 teaspoon baking powder (5g)
    1 tablespoon coconut flakes (6g)
    Chopped almonds (for topping)
    No-sugar chocolate syrup (for topping)
    Directions:
    Step 1: Preheat the Oven
    Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.

    Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup oatmeal and 1 cup water. Stir the mixture and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the oatmeal to absorb the water. This will create a soft base for the muffins.

    Add the following wet ingredients to the bowl:

    2 eggs – for protein and to help bind the mixture together.
    A pinch of salt – to enhance the flavors.
    1 tablespoon stevia sweetener – for a natural, no-calorie sweetener.
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract – for added warmth and depth of flavor.
    2 ripe bananas, mashed – these will sweeten the muffins naturally and add moisture.
    Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined. The mashed bananas will add a smooth texture, while the stevia and vanilla extract will give a subtle sweetness.

    Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
    Next, stir in the following dry ingredients to bring structure and flavor to the muffins:

    1 tablespoon cocoa powder (7g) – for a hint of chocolate flavor.
    1 teaspoon baking powder (5g) – to help the muffins rise and become fluffy.
    1 tablespoon coconut flakes (6g) – for a tropical twist and added texture.
    Stir until everything is fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly thick but should still be easy to stir.

    Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
    Grease your muffin tin or line it with muffin liners. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling each about ¾ full. This will allow enough room for the muffins to rise during baking without overflowing.

    Step 5: Bake the Muffins
    Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one of the muffins. If it comes out clean, they’re ready. If the toothpick has batter on it, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

    Step 6: Cool the Muffins
    Once the muffins are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Afterward, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Step 7: Add Toppings
    Once the muffins have cooled slightly, it’s time to add the finishing touches:

    Chopped almonds – sprinkle over the top of each muffin for a crunchy texture.
    No-sugar chocolate syrup – drizzle over the muffins for a touch of sweetness without the added sugar.
    These toppings add extra flavor and crunch to complement the soft and moist texture of the muffins.

    Storage Tips
    Refrigerator Storage: Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
    Freezer Storage: To store them for a longer period, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months. To thaw, simply leave them at room temperature or reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds.

    • Fresh coriander and parsley, finely chopped (to taste)
    • Salt, to taste
    • Black pepper, to taste
    • Cumin, to taste
    • Chili powder (optional)

    For the Chicken Filling:

    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
    • Fresh coriander and parsley, finely chopped (to taste)
    • 1 tsp (5 g) paprika
    • 1 tsp (5 g) cumin
    • ½ tsp (2.5 g) turmeric
    • ½ tsp (2.5 g) chili powder
    • Black pepper, to taste
    • Salt, to taste
    • Dried garlic (optional)
    • 200 g (7 oz) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
    • Mozzarella cheese (optional)

    For Garnishing:

    • Pizza sauce (or tomato sauce)
    • Mozzarella cheese
    • Fresh cilantro, finely chopped

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Potato Dough:

    We begin by making a smooth, well-seasoned potato dough. This forms the base for our roll.

    1. Boil the Potatoes: Start by boiling 4 medium-sized potatoes until they are soft and easily mashable. Drain and transfer them into a large mixing bowl.
    2. Mash the Potatoes: Use a potato masher to thoroughly mash the potatoes, ensuring there are no lumps.
    3. Add Eggs and Cheese: To the mashed potatoes, add 2 eggs and 4 pieces of triangle cheese (or any spreadable cheese of your choice). These ingredients will give the dough a creamy, rich texture.
    4. Season the Dough: Mix in finely chopped coriander and parsley, followed by salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder (if desired) to taste. Stir the mixture until you achieve a smooth, cohesive dough. Set aside.

    2. Prepare the Chicken Filling:

    Next, we’ll prepare a flavorful chicken filling, rich with spices and fresh herbs.

    1. Sauté the Onions: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and tender.
    2. Cook the Tomatoes: Add 2 diced tomatoes to the pan, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and break down into a sauce-like consistency.
    3. Add the Spices: Season the mixture with 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp chili powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir to combine and allow the spices to bloom.
    4. Incorporate the Chicken: Add 200 g (7 oz) of cooked, shredded or diced chicken into the pan, mixing it with the tomato and spice mixture. Let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and well-coated with the seasoning.
    5. Finish with Herbs: Stir in some fresh coriander and parsley, giving the filling a burst of freshness. Remove from heat and set aside.

    3. Assemble the Potato Roll:

    Now that the components are ready, we can assemble the roll.

    1. Form the Base: On a clean surface or a large piece of parchment paper, spread the potato dough into a rectangular layer. Aim for an even thickness to ensure the roll cooks uniformly.
    2. Add the Filling: Evenly spread the chicken filling over the potato layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
    3. Optional Cheese Addition: If you’d like an extra layer of indulgence, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the chicken filling for a rich, cheesy interior.
    4. Roll the Dough: Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the potato dough over the filling, forming a log shape. Be gentle to avoid tearing the dough. Once fully rolled, transfer the roll onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

    4. Bake and Garnish:

    The final step is baking the roll to perfection.

    1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    2. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce (or tomato sauce) over the top of the potato roll. Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese and freshly chopped cilantro for a flavorful garnish.
    3. Bake: Place the roll in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
    4. Cool and Slice: Once baked, let the roll cool for a few minutes to firm up. Slice into portions and serve warm.
