Chocolate Chip Milk Buns (no-knead)

Today I bring you an amazing recipe for soft, fluffy milk buns that require no strong or special bread flour, and no need to knead!

Milk buns (or pan de leche) are a staple of Spanish breakfast and "merienda" (afternoon snack), There are many varieties of this bread in supermarkets in Spain, but there's nothing like a freshly baked batch with a glass of milk.





It's hard to believe these yummy buns are so easy to make, but take my word for it! They are a no-brainer. Just make sure to use good yeast (if it doesn't froth up after 15 min, it's not active anymore!) and allow the dough to rest the appropriate times.

Chocolate Cookie Spoons

These Cookie Spoons are so adorable you won't want to eat them, and they're great on their own, but it's definitely better to decorate them with chocolate and sprinkles to add that little extra.

Easy 2-ingredient Chocolate glaze

Baking cakes is easily one of the most satisfying things I'm able to do in the kitchen, I love to bake cakes! On the other hand though, icing and decorating them... I tend to mess things up more often than not. So when I come across easy and fool-proof icing or glaze recipes, I get really excited. This is one of those recipes: a chocolate glaze that is made with only TWO ingredients, it's super easy to make and it sets very nicely too. It's the perfect glaze to up your cake a level without much effort!

Torrijas (Spanish recipe for Easter)

Semana Santa (Easter week) is one of the main holidays in Spain, so it's no wonder that there are many traditional recipes prepared specially for it. One of the popular sweets is torrijas, a dish similar to the British bread pudding. This recipe is quite easy and requires no oven, just a stove top and the main ingredient: stale bread.



The Spanish call for "pan del día anterior", or bread from the previous day, any kind of loaf of bread can be used, I will use a normal baguette that has been sitting the entire day and has dried quite a lot. Stale bread is preferred because it absorbs the milk without breaking apart.

Strawberry Panna Cotta & Passion Fruit Jelly Cups

Valentine's Day is almost here and if you prefer having a nice romantic dinner at home, I suggest you to try this easy, light and delectable dessert: Strawberry panna cotta and passion fruit jelly cups. You can make this dessert ahead, it's quick, you can adapt it to your favorite flavors, although I think strawberry and passion fruit is a great combination and they just match so perfectly with the theme of Valentine's day!

The strawberry panna cotta is creamy, rich and fruity (think of a strawberry creamsicle!); while the passion fruit jelly adds a bit of fresh tanginess, just perfect to end a lovely evening with your significant other. Also, if your other half isn't fond of chocolate (I know mine isn't!), this type of dessert is a good alternative to keep things valentine's-y and sweet without the chocolate overdose.

This recipe yields about 500 ml, so it's perfect for two servings in 250 ml cups, although the one's I used were quite small yogurt cups of 100 ml each, so I got five small servings.
