Kolache (ko-LAH-ch), or Koláče in Czech, is a sweet Czech pastry made from a sweet yeast dough with various fillings. Authentic Czech kolache are usually round and filled to the brim with either poppy, cheese or jam, then topped with just the right amount of crumble. Soft, pillowy, and buttery kolache are delicious warm from the oven and are best the day they are made. Serve them as a breakfast, or afternoon snack with tea or coffee or any time you like one.
If you are going to try the cheese filling, mix 250 grams of cottage cheese, 50 grams of erythritol or sugar, 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract together. The poppy filling recipe is enough for two batch of dough. Half the filling or double the dough. I portioned the dough into 9, each about 100 grams, but you can make 18 smaller kolache.

Castagnole are traditional Italian carnival fritters, named for their chestnut-like shape. They're made with a mixture of flour, egg and sugar to which a little liqueur is added – usually anisette, rum or grappa and scented with citrus. These sweet dough balls are deep-fried until golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft center. This recipe made with yoghurt makes them particularly soft and delicious. They are typically rolled in sugar while still warm. Castagnole are wonderful all on their own, but you can also poke a hole in them and fill with jam, nutella, pistachio cream or white chocolate cream. Like any deep fried food, they are at their best eaten the same day while still warm and soft because they get slightly drier after a day or two.

A fun twist on a classic lemon bar, these coconut grapefruit bars come together quickly using sweet yet tangy fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Don’t use storebought grapefruit juice as it usually contains added sugar which masks the fruit's natural tanginess.
The combination of the citrusy grapefruit topping and the buttery coconuty base creates a delightful contrast that keeps you coming back for more! These are so easy to make and a perfect dessert for a party or potluck. If you’re a fan of citrus desserts, I’m sure you will enjoy these pretty pinky bars. Since grapefruits are naturally milder, so I have added some lemon juice to the curd, making it more tangy. But you can absolutely use just grapefruit juice.
Brush the buttery crust with two egg yolks after blind baking it before adding the topping. This extra step creates not only a more flavourful, glossy finish, but also a barrier that prevents the topping from making the crust soggy.

A delicious, gently-spiced tray bake with fruity quinces for a special afternoon tea or dessert with whipped cream or Greek yoghurt. It’s so autumn and fragrant. Be careful when peeling raw quinces as it is like peeling a stone and accidents are easy to come by. Quince are available only in the fall and you can find them at farm markets, and some supermarkets. If quince isn’t available, pear or apple, is a wonderful substitution, too.

Fluffy, moist, fruity and delicious, these poppy seed and plum rolls are a real treat. They are perfect for your next birthday party or picnic. For these sweet dough buns, we start with a yeast dough with poppy seeds and prepare a cinnamony plum compote while the dough proves in a warm place until doubled. I set aside about a cup of compote as the serving sauce. Otherwise, they taste just as delicious with a vanilla sauce or a lemon icing.

Amaretti are Italian almond cookies with textures ranging from soft and chewy to crispy. There are endless variations of this Italian classic, though they are traditionally made with bitter almonds, which aren’t available over here. So a little bit of pure almond extract should do the trick.
Amaretti are perfect to enjoy in many ways. You can pair them with coffee, tea, sweet wine or enjoy them as a snack or even as breakfast on the go. Don’t try to cut down too much sugar for the recipe, otherwise the cookies might not spread and crack beautifully.

These nutty fruity truffles are a welcome change from the beloved chocolate truffles. The pink truffles are also ideal as a gift. They are made with almonds, desiccated coconut, coconut oil and raspberries, lightly sweetened with agave syrup. If you like, finish them with a coating of white chocolate for an extra layer of decadence.

Haupia is a popular traditional Hawaiian dessert made from coconut milk, cornstarch and sugar. This naturally gluten free coconut pudding is very simple and takes just 10 minutes to make and doesn't require an oven. The silky, creamy haupia tastes fantastic and have a fine consistency somewhere between pudding and panna cotta. Traditionally, the haupia are cubed and served plain. But you can also garnish them with fresh fruit or fruit sauces (I used mango here). If you are going to serve them in glasses, garnish them with some caramelised pineapples and/or toasted sesames since both are important ingredients in Hawaiian cuisine.

A highlight of French pastry! The buttery sweet shortcrust pastry base is filled with a velvety, fruity raspberry curd, which is then covered with airy, delicate meringue flamed off with a kitchen blowtorch at the very end. If desired, garnish them with some chopped pistachios or crush some freeze-dried raspberries over the top. This tart not only tastes delicious, it also looks elegant: a great dessert idea for celebration or just because.

This timeless angel food cake with a creamy fruity glaze is tender and light as cloud. Enjoy it plain, with seasonal fruit and a dollop of homemade whipped cream, or with a berry glaze. This cake is sure to wow everyone at dinner. The recipe is actually pretty easy, the only tedious task is to separate 12 eggs and the only special piece of equipment you’ll need is a angel food tube pan which helps give angel food cake its lift thanks to the high sides and center hole. Use the egg yolks to make omelette, lemon curd or ice cream.

This nutty fruity crumb cake is perfect for brunch, as a dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up. They are scrumptious by themselves, with some clotted cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Instead of butter, I used tahini to make the streusel, and sweetened the whole cake with a mix of date syrup and erythritol. If you want to make this gluten free, replace white spelt flour with oat flour.
