Delicate, sweet, beautiful desserts for tea or coffee are what any meal ends with.

Easy dessert recipes that every chef will be able to prepare are sour cream ice cream with dried apricots, strawberry Turkish delight, curd-apple mousse with orange jelly, caramelized pumpkin and bread pudding. To enjoy a delicious cheesecake or tiramisu, you do not need to go to the pastry shop, because you can cook amazing desserts at home, and our readers generously share recipes. Some dessert recipes are quick and easy to prepare – smoothies with persimmons, sweets made from nuts and dried fruits, fried cheese with honey and fruits, baked apples, goji seeds and berries.
You can treat yourself to a delicious dessert after the end of the meal, or you can eat an appetizing sweetness just like that – to lift your mood.

They can be bought in a pastry shop or in a store, but it is always necessary to take into account the fact that self-prepared desserts are guaranteed to contain no allergy-causing ingredients, excess calories and fat, and also look more advantageous from an aesthetic point of view.
The cooking time varies from fifteen minutes, if it is a fruit salad with cream or tiramisu, and up to two hours for a cake (along with baking). For certain recipes, the products will have to be soaked and prepared in advance, so that then it remains only to mix them and put them in the oven.
From dishes and appliances for making desserts, you will need a whisk, bowls, creamers, baking or freezing molds, a blender, saucepans, sometimes foil, toothpicks and glasses.
Most of the recipes will not require anything that you need to go further than the nearest supermarket, and the stocks of vanilla sugar, whipped cream, zest, mixtures for kneading dough and cream available to each experienced cook simplify the task even more!
I usually bake Christmas pudding in October or November. But this year I ran away and didn’t have time to bake it. But I found a recipe for a quick pudding, which is much simpler than the traditional one. You can bake it in advance, but no more than two weeks before the holiday, or you can bake it and immediately serve it to the table. Who hasn’t baked this Christmas miracle yet? I invite you to familiarize yourself with the recipe.
How many overseas fruits are on the shelves now – grapefruit and pomelo, papaya and mango, lime and kumquat… The most common, of course, citrus fruits. So, we will make a sauce for pancakes from them. To heal.
Our answer to Western cheesecake is a delicate air cake based on cottage cheese. This is the golden mean between cheesecake and casserole, since the original cheesecake recipe uses soft cheese. But with cottage cheese, the dessert turns out faster, and the taste is not inferior to the original. This dessert will be a great start to the day for your loved ones, an afternoon snack for children or a light treat for dinner for yourself. The white curd mass looks like a snow cover, and the yellow glaze symbolizes the sun. The aroma of vanilla will give you a wonderful mood, and tangerines – anticipation of the New Year.
Anyone who cooks marshmallows knows that the basis is applesauce (from antonovka – ideally) from green apples, because they contain more pectin than others, and this is important for marshmallows. There is no pectin in persimmons! Therefore, this fruit will be mixed with applesauce. And there will be nuts! No, no, no… Of course, nuts do not carry any load for the marshmallow base. This is a delicious addition and “unusual” for marshmallows. You eat soft marshmallows and stumble upon pieces of nuts. They also decorate the top of the marshmallow. Such an airy and useful gift can be made to your dear people. And there are still a lot of reasons ahead!
I propose to bake a very tasty, delicate chocolate-nut cookies in chocolate glaze with waffle crumbs. This cookie is suitable for both a family tea party and a festive table.
A delicate, fragile shell with an almond note in the fruit filling, which is prepared and infused long before baking, are English pies. The English like to laugh at their cuisine, but the answer of true connoisseurs of it is: “It’s much better than the fame of it.” I suggest you familiarize yourself with an example of Christmas baking, which many people know and cook, but these wonderful pies attracted attention and liked their “piece-by-piece”. it turns out a tender, crumbly and not sweet dough. In this test, the taste of the filling of fruits and spices is very pronounced. They are not reflected!!! A wonderful gift for your loved ones for Christmas and New Year!
