Christmas Cake with Dried Fruit Recipe

|

Five years ago I found the perfect recipe for a Christmas cake and every year I take it for the New Year and Christmas holidays. In order to prepare a festive cupcake, you need to prepare dried fruits in advance, namely, infuse them with cognac. I use a different mixture of dried fruits every time, if desired, you can add nuts. After baking, of course, you can immediately enjoy the cupcake, but after a week or two it will become much tastier and more fragrant.

French Baskets with Caviar Recipe

|

Baskets made of shortbread dough (pate sucree) are delicate, fragile and fragrant… and the meringue baskets made of French meringue, as well as lemon curd and cottage cheese cream are very tasty! The decoration is “caviar” made of freshly squeezed orange juice, chocolate chips and “olive tree” made of orange peel in chocolate. A wonderful New Year’s dessert will delight both children and adults not only with its taste, but also with its appearance, and will also raise the festive mood! You can prepare the main ingredients for dessert in advance and collect them on the day of the holiday.
