Un p’tit dessert ?

Effort cake

26 October 2016 by vanessa 1 Comment

I have this recipe from my friend Vince, whom I met a couple of years ago when I was getting ready for New-York marathon. It was my first race abroad, the big experience! And last thing I wanted was to eat something that would upset my stomach if it is something I wasn’t used to. … [Read more…]

Lemon tart

20 January 2013 by vanessa 1 Comment

That’s the second recipe I am posting since New Year, and with it all my traditional good resolutions of January are thrown in the bin. But I can’t resist the creaminess of the lemon cream, enhanced by the crunchiness of the pastry base. I defy you to blame me after trying this lemon tart! 😛 … [Read more…]

Fondant au chocolat

26 October 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

Even if I try to keep it “healthy” to a minimum level, according to the name of my blog, I should have more recipes involving chocolate. This one for example, is one of my favourite, even though I really don’t do it often, or at least not as often as I would like, but that’s … [Read more…]

Coconut sticky rice with pineapple

1 September 2012 by vanessa 4 Comments

I love Thai food, even though the only negative aspect of it, is that the desserts menu is usually as poor as the main dishes menu is rich. Having said that, the few desserts they have are worth it, especially all the “sticky rice” based ones, that I love as they remind me of French … [Read more…]

White chocolate cheesecake

15 August 2012 by vanessa 2 Comments

  There are so many options when it comes to cheesecake: with or without eggs, baked or not. After trying out different recipes, I came up with that one, which is definitely my favourite ever!

Brownie cheesecake

16 July 2012 by vanessa 10 Comments

I usually don’t go anywhere near brownies, too heavy, too dense, too much guilt, even for a chocolate lover. But this one is an exception as it is mixed with a cheesecake batter, which makes it (a little bit) lighter, and actually, more tasty than a plain brownie. Ingredients for 25 brownies: For the brownie: … [Read more…]

Floating islands, or “iles flottantes”

14 May 2012 by vanessa Leave a Comment

  This is one of the most typical and classic French dessert, and one of my favourite ever! If I am at the restaurant and this is on the dessert menu, I won’t even look at the rest and will go straight to my “ile flottante”. It took me sometimes before finding the exact proportions … [Read more…]

White cheese, or “fromage blanc” pie

23 April 2012 by vanessa 1 Comment

When I was younger …waaay younger, I was a lot into Disney. And I used to love the recipes I found in the magazines. So one day my mum offered me a whole recipe book, my first one actually, called “Les recettes de Disney”, or “Disney recipes” to translate the title. I loved it and … [Read more…]

Mango and banana mousse

4 April 2012 by vanessa 3 Comments

I am really craving sugar lately, in any form, cakes, chocolates, basically everything that I shouldn’t eat! And to be honest with you I haven’t been really good recently. So the best way I found to deal with those cravings, is to replace all the refined sugars by fruits as much as possible (fructose being … [Read more…]
