Smile because sweets will cure you:)

Hello!
Today I returned home in the evenings absolutelty exhausted... But my mom knows how to make me happier a bit. She always buys me incredibly sweet things which I can't help eating:) So, every time I feel extremely tired and unable to finish the day with a smile on my face I eat sweets and feel better!
Just have a look what was my "drug" today!!!


These biscuits are called "Greek" though they're made in Russia, but I really love them


These chocolate sweets are one of my favorite ones and the plumcake is great... it smells...and reminds you of NY which is coming very soon...


Well, I also like plums very much. Grapes also can make you feel happier, according to the scientists:)


Well, this could probably be great for Winnie the Pooh. Though it's not with honey but it resembles something


Actually, this is not a kind of sweet things, but it is a part of my style today, haha:))

Bye!My Chocolate Novelty!

Authentic Tiramisu recipe



Hello!A sweet post today!How to cook a really tasty tiramisu?
Let's go!

For 8 servings you'll need:
Sugar 120 g + 2 tbsp for the coffee
6 medium eggs
Mascarpone cheese 500 g
Cocoa powder to taste
Coffee as needed for soaking the Ladyfingers
Chocolate flakes to taste
Ladyfingers 400 g

 
First, prepare enough coffee to soak the ladyfingers, pour into a bowl, sweeten to taste and let it cool. Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until you have a pale and fluffy mixture. Then beat the mascarpone cheese (not for too long) with an electric beater (or with a wooden spoon) to get a lump-free mixture and beat in the resulting egg and sugar mixture.

Now beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, add the remaining sugar and, with a wooden spoon, fold them little by little into the mascarpone and yolk mixture, now you have the custard for your tiramisu.

Line up the ladyfingers in a casserole dish and soak them with the coffee, they should be soaked yet not soggy. Coat the soaked ladyfingers with a layer of custard, levelling with a rubber spatula.
Sprinkle the unsweetened cocoa powder all over. Then lay the second layer of ladyfingers: if you've lined them up vertically in the first one, remember to go horizontally in the second one, and vice versa. Top with the remaining custard levelling with the spatula. At this point, generously sprinkle your tiramisu with cocoa powder and add a handful of chocolate flakes. Place your dessert in the fridge to set for a few hours and... enjoy!

Sweet buzzing day



Hello my dear readers!Today I woke up alone and stayed at home all the morning.My mom and my brother Georgios left very early,so I had nothing special to do.Finally I cooked these nice biscuits!!
Here's the recipe!
For 25-30 biscuits:
200 g butter
270 g floor
100 g sugar
1 egg (only white)
20 g unsweetened cacao

Firstly you'll need to mix all the butter with 250 g of the floor.You can also help yourself with a tablespoon.Then you should put the sugar into the mixture and mix again.Divide the mess into 2 parts and roll them a bit.Put the rest of the floor into one of them and also put the cacao into this part.Roll them just a little and cover with a food film.
Put them into the fridge for at least one hour.Then take them out and roll to make them long lists, but not too thin.Grease the white one with the egg white and then put the brown one on it.You may cut the places which are useless and don't fit. Roll two lists in order to make them like a "sausage".Cover this "sausage" with a food film and put into the fridge for at least one hour.
Take it out of the fridge and cut into thin biscuits.Preheat the oven 180°C.Put your biscuits into the oven and bake them about 15-18 minutes.
Have a good tea time!!



Then when my brother came we decided to visit our cousin Elya who lives got so far but we had had so e months to see her...All her family was at home and we had a great time seating at the table with the biscuits baked by me and those which they had bough while their trip to Venice.Both kinds of sweets were delicious:)
When Georgios and I wanted to leave Elya and her little son led us to the underground station.While we were walking there,the kid was driving his little bicycle and we were talking.By the way,my hospitable cousin gave us some great delights to take with us...Mmm,what a pleasure they are...



It didn't take long to get home.By the time we came our Dad had already been at home:)
I love my family.
Bye bye!My Chocolate Novelt
