Refreshing Mojito Cupcakes

Guys, finally I can introduce some cupcakes to you that taste even better on day 2 or even 3. Once the cupcakes had the chance to fully develop their flavor, you will taste the lime much more, the rum is going to still be present, but more so in the back. If you are waiting for spring to finally come, how about making these mojito cupcakes? I often find March to be a though month, I am tired of the snow, I want to have more green, some refreshing ingredients, I am longing for more ease, for the birds to chirp and simply for spring. These mojito cupcakes came to be because a) I finally wanted to make some cupcakes, it has been ages! and b) I felt like something refreshing was needed. So mojito cupcakes it is! Continue Reading…

Amerikanischer Key Lime Pie mit Limetten

Amerikanischer Key Lime Pie wird eigentlich mit den sogenannten key limes, also Limetten von den Keys (Koralleninseln) in Florida hergestellt. Key limes sind normalerweise kleiner als gewöhnliche Limetten und auch süßer. Da sie jedoch in Deutschland allerhöchstens teuer als Saft verkauft werden, werden wir uns mit den normalen Limetten begnügen. Ich selbst mag diesen erfrischenden Pie besonders zur Winterzeit sehr gerne. Jeden Tag, den der Pie durchziehen kann, wird er säuerlicher und noch intensiver im Geschmack, mir persönlich schmeckt er an Tag 2 oder gar 3 am besten. Es ist also ein Pie, den man wunderbar im Voraus zubereiten kann und auch pur ohne Sahnetupfer genießen kann.

Refreshing Lime Bars

Is it already spring in your region? I currently live in Munich, in the south of Germany and just a few days ago we had heavy snowfall. Today the sun is shining brightly but it is brisk and cold outside. I feel that the snowdrops and crocus are all confused as to whether spring is actually around the corner or not. But be it as it may, I decided to introduce some refreshing lime bars, which are definitely going to bring spring to your plate. I love the fact that they are super easy to prepare, you don’t need a lot of ingredients and that you can serve them for Easter, brunch or anything that needs to be brigthened by some fresh yellow color. Also, these will intensify in flavor on day 2 or 3, so perfect if you want to make them in advance.

I decided I needed a super simple and quick recipe. There have been too many complicated ones recently. We simply don’t have time to be in the kitchen for so long, especially if it is supposedly made from scratch. How about these delicious lime bars? You can also make them with lemon or any other citric fruit. I love them with lime. The shortcrust is not prepared the regular way with cold butter, but don’t despair, melting the butter is actually what makes this so easy to prepare. And the lime curd is also done in a jiffy, you basically whisk together all ingredients and that’s it. Let the oven do the hard work.

Guest post: Lizet from Chipa by the Dozen brought Toasted Coconut Banana Muffins with Lime Drizzle

I am happy to say that Lizet from the blog Chipa by the Dozen (English and Spanish) agreed to also post a recipe for my blog event Invite to a Coffee. You have time until March 15, 2018 to take part, if you are interested, please check further details here.

That’s because Lizet lives in Paraguay even though she is Bolivian and therefore has a lot of Latin American recipes on her blog Chipa by the Dozen (chipa are a type of cheese bread I am determined to also share on my blog in the future). I also feel that the treat she brought has an interesting Latin American twist, but let’s give the floor to her.

No-bake Lime Cheesecake

We had so many limes at home. So what to do with them? Smoothies? Cocktails? I decided to go with a no-bake cheesecake. With lots of lime flavor. I am really proud because I invented this recipe. Normally I like to follow recipes. It is nice to simply follow instructions, one step at a time. It is very relaxing. At least for me baking is really relaxing. That’s why I am so proud that I invented this cake. A creamy cheesecake with a nice tangy lime flavor. Trust me, you will taste the lime.
