Lemon curd and panna cotta



This is my first try of panna cotta, a dessert made with simple ingredients like milk and heavy cream. But, like most things in life, the simpler they are the most likely we are to enjoy them. So, there are endless possibilities to create your own perfect version of panna cotta. For this one, I chose a beautiful lemon curd to go on top of it and add some zing to the whole dish. I think the acidity of the lemon curd compliments the panna cotta layer very well and it's so refreshing that I'll be making this one again and soon.

Cereal Tiramisu



This is my favorite version of the well known Italian dessert Tiramisu. Why? because instead of the Savoiardi lady finger biscuits this has two layers of crunchy chocolate cereal cake. It's not that I don't like the original recipe but this one has a lot more texture to it bringing the whole cake to another level of awesomeness. Also, sometimes I use to make the filling by mixing mascarpone together with ricotta cheese, just to make it a little bit lighter and why not, healthier.
