BANANA PIE

this lovely banana pie is one that I cannot resist.  I baked the banana slices in a bit of sugar and banana liqueur which means that the banana flavour is even made stronger.  Yammie!! 



CHOCOLATE CAKE


I'm not really that into eating chocolate cake but it's such a grateful ingredient to work with.  Whenever you serve a dessert with chocolate people get a that little twinkle in their eyes! : ) 




CUTE PIES


My apologies for my disappearing act .. I'm back and made some more delicious yammie recipes!! 
Here my cute little cherry pies.. I just love the combination of self made pastry, vanilla custard and cherries!!

ABRICOT PIE

A nice abricot pie with a roaster of leftover pie dough.   it's a nice tip to do with other fruit pies as well as you see the fruit through the roaster.   


APPLE PIE

Another apple recipe.. can't resist.. this time a combination of an almond cake filling and slices of apple to top it off!    


BRIOCHE APPLE PIE

This is the result of using a classic brioche recipe and filling it with apples.  Yes, you must feel guilty as brioche is full of calories but we do have our daily fruits meaning the apples!! :-)

CHERRY PIE

Another one ...  love to make my own pastry in stead of being it ready made.. it makes such a difference!!! 



FRUIT TART

Another pie with cherries and grapes, can't help but use this summer fruit in a pie, what else can we do with it??   :) 



FLAN BRESILIENNE

This is a "flan brĂ©silienne".  This is the combination of sweet pastry, vanilla creme, whipped cream and a sprinkling of nuts on top.   It tasts absolutely devine and it's a very popular dessert in Belgium!   

RASPBERRY TART

This is the combination of freshly made pastry, raspberries and raspberry jam.    

FRUIT TARTS

I made these lovely fruit tarts with a friend and we had a ball!    We made everything from scratch.. The pastry, the vanilla creme and to be honest we didn't grow the fruit ourselves but we did decorate them ourselves! :)
