Chocolates with marzipan and cherries

Christmas

Happy December 24th. The last door on my advent calendar here on the blog offers chocolates with marzipan and cherries. These chocolates are really easy and quick to make if you’d like some candy to snack on tonight. I dipped the marzipan in dark chocolate, but you can use milk chocolate or white chocolate, too. SO many of you have stopped by my Christmas recipes here during December—thank you so much! Thank you for all the sweet messages you sent…

Danish vanilla cookies

Happy December 23rd. My absolute favorite Christmas cookies are Danish vanilla cookies. I love them. And vanilla and chocolate are, of course, some of my favorite ingredients. You’ve been asking for a vanilla cookie recipe, where the cookies can be piped with a piping bag and that won’t expand too much in the oven—here you go! This recipe is very easy to pipe. I actually piped 3 different sized vanilla cookies, using 3 different nozzles. The big ones I made…

Chocolate caramels

Happy December 22nd. The best chocolate caramels dipped in dark chocolate are what I have to offer today. If you only make one Christmas treat this year, make these chocolate caramels. They taste divine. I made a large portion of caramel as I wrap some of them up nicely away to gift to friends and family. But you can easily make a smaller portion. I haven’t dipped all the caramels in chocolate. It takes some time to boil the mixture…

French toast

Happy December 21st. Today I bring you French toast—delicious butter-fried bread, dipped in milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon, that was meant for poor knights. They taste so delicious and are very easy and quick to make. We make French toast on weekends if we have some day-old bread lying around. It’s an easy way to use up stale bread, instead of throwing it out. French toast can be served as it is or with whipped cream and jam or with…

Soft and airy Christmas buns

Advertisement for Kenwood Happy December 20th. For today’s Friday’s hygge and advent calendar, I’ve allied myself with a new friend in my kitchen—my new Kenwood Chef XL Titanium kitchen machine. We have baked the best, softest and airiest Christmas buns. The Christmas buns are filled with cardamom, cinnamon, dark chocolate and orange zest. They smell and taste heavenly. I meant to share this recipe with you in last year’s advent calendar, but I never got it uploaded! These buns are perfect…

Cherry sauce for risalamande

A little extra recipe in my advent calendar. After I shared my mother’s recipe for the best risalamande, loads of you have been asking for a cherry sauce recipe for the risalamande. We make the cherry sauce from preserved cherries, which are cooked and thickened. Simple and quick—though it can be difficult to find preserved cherries, as most supermarkets mainly sell ready-made cherry sauce, which tastes good too, of course. We like a simple cherry flavor, so there’s no cinnamon,…

Danish risalamande

Happy December 19th. My mom is taking over the blog to share her recipe and tips for the best Danish risalamande: It isn’t Christmas in Denmark without risalamande! I’ve used this recipe for risalamande for many years now. It makes a creamy risalamande with just the right flavor of vanilla and almonds. This risalamande isn’t very sweet, not at all like the overly-sweet variants that are often served. In our opinion, this is how risalamande should taste—with added sweetness from…

Chocolate truffles with condensed milk

Happy December 18th. Today comes a recipe for the world’s easiest chocolate truffles made from condensed milk, butter, chocolate and cocoa. These truffles are actually called Brigadeiros and are Brazilian chocolate truffles. The truffles have a slightly caramel-like texture. They taste wonderful as they melt on the tongue. Use either milk or dark chocolate. They can probably also be made with white chocolate, but you need to leave out the cocoa powder then. I rolled the chocolate truffles in cocoa…

Cookie dough truffles with chickpeas

Happy December 17th. Christmas and the blog offer lots of sweet treats, so today I want to share a recipe for healthier cookie dough truffles with chickpeas. You don’t bake these cookie dough truffles and there’s no butter, refined sugar, wheat flour or eggs in them either. You need honey, coconut sugar, peanut butter and almond flour and a few other ingredients, so they are actually a bit healthy. The cookie dough truffles are dipped in 70% dark chocolate and…

French nougat

Happy December 16th. Today’s Christmas recipe is French nougat with almonds and green pistachio nuts. French nougat is a sweet white nougat with a chewy texture. Use whatever nuts you like in the nougat. Walnuts or unsalted peanuts are good. I love French nougat and so does my grandmother. I’m going to give her a few pieces of French nougat wrapped nicely in cellophane. It’s the perfect hostess gift. Enjoy!
