Lemon blueberry panna cotta

This dessert is rather easy to make. It is the first time I’ve ever made this kind of dessert called panna cotta – a kind of Italian cold dessert. I just happened to have some blueberries left and I guessed it wouldn’t trouble me much to make this dessert.

Thanks for the recipe I found from this site, I did make a dessert which is quite interesting to enjoy.

bánh chocolate, raspberry, ginger chocolate mousse

This cake and mousse is just perfect. I love the way this dessert is presented. This is another first experience of mine with using ring mold to make dessert. To remove the mold after the mousse set, I used the blow torch to warm up the ring mold from outside just a little bit, then I could pull the ring up easily.

I always love the combination of raspberry and chocolate. Not only the combination of taste but also the marriage of the two classic colors made me fall deeply in love with this dessert.

The recipe can be found here.

 Blueberry creme brulee

This creme brulee is made in the same way as I made raspberry creme brulee last time. Just that I replaced raspberries with blueberries.

I don’t really like the natural taste of fresh blueberries, however, being in desserts or cakes, their taste changes and I love the new taste a lot.

Raspberry creme brulee

I know it is high in energy, it’s fat, but I just can’t stop eating it once I make some. This is a classic creme brulee but I added some fresh raspberries to it. Though I reduced the sugar amount by one third, the custard was still sweet to me. However, the sourness of the raspberries gave some balance to the creme brulee. 

I already got a blow torch, so the last step was now easier for me. As it is already sweet, I just sprinkled a little sugar on the custard and used the blow torch to caramelize it.

Orange yogurt brulee

Desserts are always so irresistible. However, anyone who loves desserts, especially young females, has to face with the reality that desserts are often high in calorie due to high sugar and fat content. I am not an exception. Besides reducing the sugar amount used in baking, I also search for more healthful desserts so that I don’t have to worry about how much activities or exercises I should do a day.

This is one of the recipes from my guilt-free desserts book including a lot of low-fat, low-calorie desserts, which offer you guilt-free and still yummy desserts that can satisfy your taste and your body.

Lemon Raspberry Mille Feuilles

Lemon Raspberry Mille Feuilles

I do not often have fresh raspberries to make cake or dessert with. Raspberries are expensive here and they do not often look fresh. This time I found them especially fresher than usual, and I couldn’t help buying a small pack of them. Looking at the fresh raspberries in deep red color, I felt so happy. I myself don’t understand why these small things can charm me so much. 

Finding this recipe with raspberries from Tartelette, I decided to make this dessert with puff pastry and raspberries. However, I used the ready-made puff pastry since I didn’t have enough conditions and utensils to try making home-made puff pastry.

This dessert really inspired my fiance to take many photos of it.

Chocolate egg yolk pudding

This pudding is so sweet, a perfect dessert for your loved one. Chocolate is always a symbol of romance. Bitterness and sweetness make love meaningful and truthful. I made this for my fiance last Valentine and we really enjoyed eating them together. 

With this pudding, this time I used a vanilla pod. Of course with the dark color of the chocolate, we cannot see the tiny seed of the vanilla bean. However, I was amazed to really that I could feel those tiny seeds between my teeth while eating the pudding. Yeah it’s true. A new interesting experience for me. And so I had a new "game": playing with the tiny wonderful seeds in my mouth.
