Tiramisu with Raspberries (no eggs)

Today I want to share my yummy summer dessert with you: Tiramisu with Raspberries.

No eggs are needed for this recipe so it is a nice dessert also for Toddlers and anyone with a sensitive stomach.

If you don’t have fresh fruits, you can also use frozen ones – simply brightens up your mood on a dull winter day.





 

For 4 glasses I used:

About 10 biscuit fingers
300g Raspberries
2 spoons Icing Sugar
1 cup Mascarpone (ca. 250g)
1 cup natural yogurt (250g)

 


Crush the biscuit in little bits and put them into drinking glasses or any other dessert servers you may have. I used whiskey glasses from Galway Crystal.


Blend the Raspberries and the icing sugar until smooth and add a layer onto the biscuit-bits.
Mix the Mascarpone and Yogurt with the blender in a different pot and add a layer of this mix onto the fruit-purée.

 
Then add again some broken biscuits etc... simply repeat the different layers until the glass is full.


 



I ended the layers with the fruit-purée and a little dot of Mascarpone-Yogurt-Mix on top….






.... and made a nice little pattern with a little dessert fork.

Put into the fridge overnight – at least for a few hours, so the biscuit can soak through and everything is nice and soft.
 

And then enjoy ..... hmmmm ... is it summer already?

Fast & easy Fruit Dessert (or snack) for Toddlers

Banana and Peach

I usually always have fruits at home for us and the little one to nibble on. Some will be eaten just in its initial form or sliced, some I might make a lovely cake of and some I just blend together to make a nice little healthy fruit purée for my little one.

Although he can chew already a purée is always nice to have for adding a bit more taste to your semolina or rice pudding or just on its own as a snack.

For making this nice dessert you just need a blender and a high jug (to avoid spilling when blending).

1 banana -> peel it and break it in chunks
3 peaches -> wash them thoroughly and also cut into chunks. You don’t need to peel the peach, first of all the skin is quite healthy for the digestive systems and you don’t loose any vitamins and secondly: you are blending it, so the skin does no bother when chewing the fruity-yummy desert.

Mix everything together until smooth – here you go. Ready steady eat :)

It’s an easy “fast food” and again, if you have any Tupperware or other storage you have enough for the next 3 days and / or can freeze it into the sized pots you like. Make sure the storage is airtight (round Tupperware) so the purée does not loose vitamins by being exposed to air.

Enjoy and Guten Appetit.

Christmas-Style Baked-Apple Dessert

For this lovely dessert you need the following ingredients:



4 big Apples
3 Soupspoons Sugar
50g grounded Almonds
50g chopped Walnuts
50g chopped Hazelnuts
2 Soupspoons Cranberry Sauce
300g Marzipan
2 Spoons Rum (or Rum-Flavour for baking)
3 Eggs
200g Cream
1 Spoon Vanilla sugar

Caramelized Sugar

Add the sugar into a bowl with a little bit of water and heat it until the sugar is caramelized (a little brown).

Nut-Mix

Add the 3 different Nuts and mix them thoroughly. Let the Nuts and Sugar cool down and blend them roughly in a Mixer. Don’t make it too smooth, you want to have some chewy bits left.

My little helper - VERY useful

Peel the apples, cut them into halves and cut out the apple core.

A special find on the Irish Farmers Market

Mix the Cranberries with 150g Marzipan, Rum and add the Nut-Caramel-Mix.


Spread a bit of butter in an ovenproof dish, fill the apple-halves with the Marzipan-Nut-dough and put them into the dish.

Separate the Eggs and whisk the egg white until stiff.

Put the egg yolks, 150g Marzipan, Cream and Vanilla sugar into a bowl and mix them with a blender.

Add the egg whites and mix everything very carefully so the egg white does not get too runny.


Pour the Marzipansauce over the filled apples and bake the whole dish for approximately 30 Minutes at 200°C / 392°F

If the top layer is getting too brown, just cover the dish with a bit of baking paper.



 

Ready – have a glass of mulled wine with it or a hot tea and enjoy yourself in front of a cosy fireplace. Simply wonderful!

You can eat this dish hot or cold, served with whipped cream or ice-cream... divine.
