At Christmas, there are desserts that need no introduction — and the French Yule log is one of them. A timeless classic, known for its tender genoise sponge, smooth and creamy filling, and that chocolate coating that resembles a log of firewood, making it instantly recognisable on any festive table. Elegant, comforting, and rich in history, it’s one of those sweet treats you’re always eager to make when the holiday season comes around.

If you want to see how to make a homemade cake that’s also easy, moist, and very aromatic, this recipe has it all! With this orange and pistachio cake you’ll be sure to succeed and I guarantee there won’t be a crumb left once they try it. The cake itself is wonderful, but topped with that orange glaze it becomes spectacular. Paired with a good café con leche, for me it’s one of the best breakfasts.

Today I bring you a show-stopping dessert, one that dresses up a table and invites celebration at the mere mention of its name. This raspberry mille-feuille with vanilla diplomat cream, made with homemade puff pastry, is an absolute delight. I assure you that as soon as you present it at the table, they’ll give you applause. And at the first bite, you’ll receive a heartfelt ovation.

Today we're putting a twist on the classic dehydrated apple snack with a much more irresistible version: crispy apple and pear chips coated in chocolate and almond.

They're easy to make in the air fryer, with no added sugar, and combine the best of both worlds: the lightness of fruit and the indulgent touch of chocolate.

Today I bring the recipe for an almond Bundt cake that turns heads: elegant, with a raspberry filling that peeks out in every slice and a glossy glaze that looks professionally made. Best of all, although it seems like a bakery dessert, it's much easier to make than you might think.

When a very chocolatey dessert is what you want at home, these individual coulant-style brownies become the best option: small, intense, and with that gooey interior that makes them irresistible. They are easy and quick to prepare (Claudia's word!, because you'll have them ready in 20 minutes), and I assure you that that moist chocolate center will be your downfall and everyone who tries them.

Warning: it's addictive, and today you'll see how to make this edible cookie dough recipe at home — in less than 15 minutes you'll have it ready to enjoy!

If a few days ago I shared a savory clafoutis recipe, today I return to the more traditional version, although with some variations that make this cherry tart a delicious treat, with a crunchy, very aromatic touch.
