Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 15min.

This chocolate mousse recipe is really fast and easy and you can use as a base to create many other desserts, for example combining it with orange custard, pear gelatin, etc. I think it should be enough for 6 people!

Chocolate Meringues with Chocolate Mousse Topping

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 2h45min.

This meringue recipe is easy to prepare although it takes a few hours. Since the topping is made of cream, you won’t be able to keep them too long and it’s better to save them in the fridge, or just eat them all very quick!!!

Mini Orange and Chocolate Triangles with Hazelnuts

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 3h.

This recipe is based on the typical dough used for many kinds of cakes and cookies: 1 measure of icing sugar, 2 measures of butter and 3 measure of flour. The icing sugar makes it easier to knead the dough. The result was pretty good. The triangles tasted good and were very beautiful. Next time, I want to try with pistachios instead of hazelnuts, I think it will give it even more color and originality!

Small French Chocolate and Coffee Cakes

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 45min.

I made the little cakes the other day to bring to Bouchon’s dad place. They actually seemed like a typical chocolate cake, but I really love the touch of expresso in them! I think it would taste even better served with an English cream.

Banana, Walnuts and Chocolate Cookies

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 45min.

This recipe is from a great book of pastries my sister got me for christmas. I intend on trying each one of the recipes from this book, but of course we HAD to start with a chocolate dessert. Well I really loved those cookies. I couldn’t notice the banana so much, but Bouchon could. Anyway I think it gives a great consistency to the cookies.

Strawberries with Sugar

Preparation time: clock 15min.

This is probably the easier recipe in the world! It takes advantage of the natural ability of strawberries to get juicy when you sprinkle sugar on them.

This recipe is a classic. I got it from my bestfriend’s nanny, but adapted it a bit to my taste by adding more chocolate and the frosting… There is never enough chocolate!!!
