FLAN BRESILIENNE

This is a "flan brésilienne".  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! :) 

PINEAPPLE PIE

Classic pineapple pie with a nice layer of vanille pudding to complete the mess :-)

THEME CAKE - MUSIC

I made this cake for my niece her "communie" last May..   She loves the guitar so I couldn't resist :-))

FLAN PIE

This is a very popular dessert in Belgium.  It's a kind of vanilla custard that has the typical dark lined layer on top.  

FRANGIPANE PIE WITH PINEAPPLE

I just love the fact of glazing dripping of the border of a pie.. It's an almond filling combined with pineapple chunks.   Let us not forget about a generous layer of glazing on top! :)  

SEMOLINA PIE

It's not my personal favorite but it's one that brings lost of childhood memories for Belgians.  it's semolina pie.  It's combined with lots of raisins as that goes perfectly with semolina.

PINEAPPLE PIE

This is as delish as it looks!   a crushy dough, a layer of abricot jam, a layer of pineapple chunks and a cake filling topped with a shiny layer of jam.  

ALMOND PIE

This is an almond pie with a lovely vanilla cake filling and a layer of abricot jam so the bottom layer of dough didn't become soggy. 

CHERRY PIE

I can never resist a cherry pie.  This one is with a lovely vanilla creme layer before it is covered with cherries in thickened cherry sauce.  

MASTELLEN

The vlaaien which I posted before is made with these 'mastellen'.  you can best compare them to bagels as they are soft and have a ligt cinnamon flavour.   I use them to make the vlaaien but also make some to eat just like that!  

VLAAIEN

This is an example of a dessert which I have put on my blog already but which carries lots of childhood memories for me.  It's a typical local dessert which is made with 'peperkoek' and 'speculoos'.
