  • 1 cup uncooked pudding rice
  • 3.5 cups full-fat milk
  • ¼ cup demerara sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

]]> It turns out that there’s such a thing as Macaron Day, and it’s celebrated every year in March! This yummy day originated in France, and it’s focused entirely on this chic dessert, with pastry shops giving out complimentary macarons for charitable causes. Here are five surprising facts about these colorful cookies that you probably didn’t know.

Origins Unveiled

Forget what you thought you knew—macarons actually have Italian roots! Catherine de’ Medici brought these fancy treats to France in the 16th century, and the French took them and ran with them.

Mix-Up Alert

Before you make a crucial mistake, macarons and macaroons are two totally different things. While Macarons are made of a mix of almond flour, egg white, and sugar, macaroons are all about dense, coconut-based chewiness.

Calorie Check

You might want to sit down for this one—macarons are surprisingly low-calorie, with just 70 to 100 calories per cookie. So go ahead, indulge in all the flavors without the guilt trip.

DIY Dream

Thanks to the Ladurée Sucré cookbook, macaron lovers everywhere can now whip up these Insta-worthy treats in their own kitchen. Get ready to flex your baking skills and impress your feed.

Evolutionary Eats

Did you know that back in the day, macarons only had a single layer? In the 20th century, they leveled up into double-deckers, adding even more flair to this fancy French favorite.

]]> Indulge in a delightful treat with this amazing recipe for apple tart! Bursting with the sweet and tangy flavor of fresh apples, nestled in a buttery and flaky pastry crust, this classic dessert is sure to impress with its simplicity and deliciousness. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a cozy dessert to enjoy with loved ones, this irresistible apple tart is guaranteed to bring joy to every bite and leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • 4-5 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

  1. Start by making the pastry crust. In a food processor, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the egg yolk and ice water to the mixture and pulse until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it forms a smooth ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange the sliced apples in overlapping circles on top of the pastry dough, leaving a border of about 2 inches around the edges. Fold the edges of the pastry dough over the apples, pleating as needed.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves and water over medium heat until melted and smooth. Brush the glaze over the apples and crust. Bake the apple tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow the apple tart to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!

]]> Just because you’ve never heard of Banana Bread Day, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. This is a very real day (well, at least according to the internet), and the ultimate way of celebrating it is by making banana bread at home. 

Let’s just get something out of the way before we begin—banana bread is basically banana cake. And it goes perfectly with your morning or afternoon coffee or tea. Now, here’s a ridiculously easy banana bread recipe you should try ASAP.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas (the riper, the better)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A grain of salt
  • Optional: some chocolate chips or walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Mash the bananas well until you get a smooth mixture (try to make the mixture as uniform as possible, but even if there are some lumps, it will still work, so no worries).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg together with the mashed bananas, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Then add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix well until you get a uniform texture.
  4. If you want, you can add chocolate chips (as many as you like) or chopped walnuts (same).
  5. Pour the whole thing into a silicone cake mold (preferably a standard rectangle one) and bake for about 30 minutes (or until golden brown) at 375°F.
  6. Voila – you have yourself a banana bread that’s soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and absolutely delicious.

]]> When it comes to the tastiest desserts on the planet, cookies are generally among the most popular. It’s not that they’re necessarily the best desserts around, but they’re also incredibly practical in that they’re easy to carry around and just like finger food. For this reason, we decided to celebrate cookies as a whole and discuss some of the most classic cookies that have ever been invented.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

There’s arguably no other cookie that’s more iconic that the chocolate cookie. Based around a solid core of cookie dough and chocolate chips, there are about a million different versions of the chocolate chip around the world, and each of them is more delicious than the last.

Snickerdoodles

If you’re a huge cinnamon lover, chances are that the snickerdoodle is a favorite for you. That’s because snickerdoodles are essentially just a cinnamon sugar based cookie without much else going on. It’s simplicity at its finest, with a dash of cinnamon goodness to boot.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Similar to the snickerdoodle, here’s another cookie that thrives on its bold simplicity. Peanut butter cookies also don’t have much going on except for the fact that they’re baked with peanut butter, making them a peanut butter lover’s dream!

]]> In the mood for an extra colorful guilty pleasure? A pack of M&M’s might be your go-to solution. But forget the basic way of eating this rainbow-of-a snack straight out of the bag. Go the extra quarter of a mile and use it to make some vibrant homemade desserts. Here are three easy ways to do it.

M&M Cookies

Start with the classic M&M cookies. All you need to do is whip up your favorite cookie dough, then fold in a handful of M&M’s. As the cookies bake, the candies melt, creating a chocolatey impressionist painting. Not to mention the irresistible taste and delightful crunch.

M&M Parfait

For a treat that’s pleasing to both the eyes and the tongue, try an M&M parfait. Layer colorful M&M’s with creamy yogurt or whipped cream in a glass and top it off with a bit of chocolate syrup. If you’re really going for that Instagram gold, stick a cherry on top to perfect the masterpiece.

M&M Popcorn

For an instant movie night enhancer, mix some M&M’s into a bowl of fresh popcorn. The warm popcorn slightly melts the candy coating, resulting in a yummy mix of salty and sweet. It’s the ideal balance for a cozy night indoors.

]]> Indulge in a delightful treat with this amazing recipe for apple tart! Bursting with the sweet and tangy flavor of fresh apples, nestled in a buttery and flaky pastry crust, this classic dessert is sure to impress with its simplicity and deliciousness. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a cozy dessert to enjoy with loved ones, this irresistible apple tart is guaranteed to bring joy to every bite and leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • 4-5 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

  1. Start by making the pastry crust. In a food processor, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the egg yolk and ice water to the mixture and pulse until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it forms a smooth ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange the sliced apples in overlapping circles on top of the pastry dough, leaving a border of about 2 inches around the edges. Fold the edges of the pastry dough over the apples, pleating as needed.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves and water over medium heat until melted and smooth. Brush the glaze over the apples and crust. Bake the apple tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow the apple tart to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!

]]> Just because you’ve never heard of Banana Bread Day, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. This is a very real day (well, at least according to the internet), and the ultimate way of celebrating it is by making banana bread at home. 

Let’s just get something out of the way before we begin—banana bread is basically banana cake. And it goes perfectly with your morning or afternoon coffee or tea. Now, here’s a ridiculously easy banana bread recipe you should try ASAP.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas (the riper, the better)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A grain of salt
  • Optional: some chocolate chips or walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Mash the bananas well until you get a smooth mixture (try to make the mixture as uniform as possible, but even if there are some lumps, it will still work, so no worries).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg together with the mashed bananas, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Then add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix well until you get a uniform texture.
  4. If you want, you can add chocolate chips (as many as you like) or chopped walnuts (same).
  5. Pour the whole thing into a silicone cake mold (preferably a standard rectangle one) and bake for about 30 minutes (or until golden brown) at 375°F.
  6. Voila – you have yourself a banana bread that’s soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and absolutely delicious.

]]> When it comes to the tastiest desserts on the planet, cookies are generally among the most popular. It’s not that they’re necessarily the best desserts around, but they’re also incredibly practical in that they’re easy to carry around and just like finger food. For this reason, we decided to celebrate cookies as a whole and discuss some of the most classic cookies that have ever been invented.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

There’s arguably no other cookie that’s more iconic that the chocolate cookie. Based around a solid core of cookie dough and chocolate chips, there are about a million different versions of the chocolate chip around the world, and each of them is more delicious than the last.

Snickerdoodles

If you’re a huge cinnamon lover, chances are that the snickerdoodle is a favorite for you. That’s because snickerdoodles are essentially just a cinnamon sugar based cookie without much else going on. It’s simplicity at its finest, with a dash of cinnamon goodness to boot.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Similar to the snickerdoodle, here’s another cookie that thrives on its bold simplicity. Peanut butter cookies also don’t have much going on except for the fact that they’re baked with peanut butter, making them a peanut butter lover’s dream!

]]> In the mood for an extra colorful guilty pleasure? A pack of M&M’s might be your go-to solution. But forget the basic way of eating this rainbow-of-a snack straight out of the bag. Go the extra quarter of a mile and use it to make some vibrant homemade desserts. Here are three easy ways to do it.

M&M Cookies

Start with the classic M&M cookies. All you need to do is whip up your favorite cookie dough, then fold in a handful of M&M’s. As the cookies bake, the candies melt, creating a chocolatey impressionist painting. Not to mention the irresistible taste and delightful crunch.

M&M Parfait

For a treat that’s pleasing to both the eyes and the tongue, try an M&M parfait. Layer colorful M&M’s with creamy yogurt or whipped cream in a glass and top it off with a bit of chocolate syrup. If you’re really going for that Instagram gold, stick a cherry on top to perfect the masterpiece.

M&M Popcorn

For an instant movie night enhancer, mix some M&M’s into a bowl of fresh popcorn. The warm popcorn slightly melts the candy coating, resulting in a yummy mix of salty and sweet. It’s the ideal balance for a cozy night indoors.
