rozen dessert” Now – that’s a nice thought, right? Did you think of an ice cream? I did! The supermarket freezer loaded with different brands and flavors of ice cream, or a local ice cream shop with window display full of freshly made artisan ice cream! Mhm, that image is certainly worth a thousand spoons…sorry – words! I’m so distracted now that only a hefty dosage of frozen delight can repair my train of thoughts, and I think I have just the thing in my freezer! Chocolate, half a gallon of course! O.K! Now I can talk about frozen desserts until brain freeze hits me!

ou can’t afford a BMW luxury sedan? No problem! There is another gem from Bavaria, almost equally good – the Bavarian cream! And this one you can make yourself!

espite the fact that the name "crème brûlée" sounds and is doubtlessly French (when translated it means "burnt cream"), the origin of this delicious dessert might not be French at all!

sssst! Don't tell anyone, but when I was a little girl, there was no greater pleasure for me then licking the beaters of a hand mixer just after Mom finished making cream slices! Mmm, cream slices… In Croatia, cream slice or cremeschnitten (in German), is, without a doubt, the most popular pastry! A block of tasty, yellow vanilla cream, sandwiched between two thin sheets of baked puff pastry is a sight that no kid can resist!]]> https://pastry-maestra.local/creams-custards/how-to-make-curd/ Thu, 25 Jun 2015 20:30:29 +0000 https://pastry-maestra.local/?p=4763 W

hen I think of lemon curd, I always picture the famous and fancy English 5-o'clock-tea ritual. I see a vintage castle by the river and a glorious garden with neatly trimmed grass and breathtaking rose bushes. In the middle there is an elegant table covered with colorful tablecloth. And on that table - a feast!
