There's nothing like simple, homemade recipes, and we can't forget the compote that's always been made at home. The one we make most often is apple or apple and banana, but taking advantage of strawberry season I encourage you to enjoy this delicious and easy apple and strawberry compote recipe. A delight!

The name of this recipe is most revealing; it hides no secret other than its delicious flavor and its soft, sweet interior. But although it may seem that the Easter canelé with chocolate, caramel and peanut already says it all in its title, nothing could be further from the truth. Read on and you'll see what I mean.

A strong rival to traditional rice pudding has appeared at home: this coconut rice pudding recipe is as delicious as the classic, but with a coconut flavor that only adds to it. It turns out just as fresh, creamy, delicious... yet when you take a bite you wonder what that something is that drives you to take another spoonful.

I love panna cotta, but on its own it gets boring. It's an extremely delicate and refined dessert, with that subtle cream flavor and the little touch of vanilla I like to give it... but for me it's not enough: I need to add something extra to enjoy it, a contrast, and discovering the wonderful combination of panna cotta with lemon curd is a pleasure I don't want to keep to myself — you have to try it!

Easy and very quick to make, roasted pineapple with cinnamon becomes a Sunday dessert because of its exoticism and color, but I assure you it's a recipe to consider making any day of the week, as a dessert or for breakfast in the morning.

One of the most rewarding things we can make at home during the summer is ice cream. I'm fascinated by all of them... And even more so when they're homemade. Today we'll look at how to make an Eton Mess Ice Cream that, I assure you, will surprise you greatly.

Panna cotta is a delicious dessert that, as it is prepared today, meets a key requirement for hot days: it doesn’t need an oven to make. Typical of the Italian region of Piedmont, its name is not misleading. Panna cotta literally means cooked cream and that is how it’s made: liquid cream is heated with sugar, a gelling agent is added so it sets, and once chilled it has a consistency similar to flan.

Let's make coconut ice cream. Plain and simple, the usual kind: I bring the recipe for an easy, quick coconut ice cream with coconut flavor, which is what we lovers of this fruit fallen from the sky are looking for (well, from tropical palm trees, but from the sky just the same).

With very few ingredients we can make an exceptional dessert. These meringues with roasted strawberry sauce are a recipe as pretty as they are sweet and delicious. I think we can agree that it could be the perfect recipe for your Valentine's Day, or to say "I want to make you happy", simply by bringing one of these meringue nests to our loved ones.

Eggnog is what we call here "ponche de huevo" or "ponche de Navidad," a sweet drink made from eggs and milk, and spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, a good amount of ginger and clove. It's a really special drink that you have to try if you want an alternative to a nice glass of hot chocolate to sweeten the afternoon or if you want to offer your guests a drink to finish the meal and accompany some cookies. I've fallen in love with this punch!

Making baked pear or apple is one of the easiest, quickest, and most delicious things, and you can imagine that when tossed with a touch of cinnamon and combined with yogurt it's a delightful recipe. Today I bring you how to make these yogurt cups with cinnamon-baked pear, which you'll have ready before you can say "plis".

The day you dare to make ice cream at home you'll wonder how it can be so easy. Today, one of my favorites: vanilla ice cream with caramelized nuts (yes, like the ice cream you probably know from Häagen-Dazs®; you can make it with Macadamia nuts if you prefer, although once caramelized you'll see that whether it's with regular nuts or Macadamia nuts the result is equally wonderful).
