I bake cheesecake only for Christmas and Easter. Until now it seems that it is a difficult and demanding cake. Today I used my mum's old recipe for the best family cheesecake. She often baked this cake. Now I know why. It is a swift cheesecake, and the taste and texture of the cake is excellent. You may add orange or lemon peel to it and decorate it with chocolate icing. I decided to make a vanilla cheesecake with fruit. It looks beautiful, and it smells and tastes great.

Ingredients:
underside
150g of oat cookies
70g of butter
cheesecake
750g of white cottage cheese for the cheesecakes
150g of butter
100g of caster sugar
125g of natural yoghurt
40g of vanilla budino (powder)
3 tablespoons of semolina
1 tablespoon of vanilla essence
fruit

Amaretto is a sweet and slightly bitter Italian tipple. It is made with almonds. You can put amaretto in drinks or add it to coffee, chocolate and desserts. I like it and I use it when I make desserts for adults.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a yummy dessert with figs – one of my husband's favourite types of fruit. The dessert was made with whisked sweet cream and dark chocolate. I bought some wonderful crunchy, light amaretto cookies. They were excellent with my glamourous dessert.

Ingredients (for 2 people)
200ml of 30% sweet cream
100g of dark chocolate
2 tablespoons of amaretto
a couple of amaretto cookies
a couple of raspberries
2 figs

I value French pastry for the opportunities which it gives me. I like it and I use it very often. It is excellent for tarts, shepherd's pie, dumplings and desserts. Today I made some swift cookies with French pastry with cottage cheese and fruit. They look beautiful with the seasonal fruit. If you make them in the winter, use citrus fruit, kiwi fruit or grapes. The cookies will be great.

Ingredients (6 cookies)

1 pack of French pastry
200g of cottage cheese
2 egg yolks
6 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of potato flour
2 tablespoons of milk
fruit for decoaration

Cakes with fruit are in my home in the summer and autumn. I don't like frozen fruit, and I use it only when I have to. In the winter I choose apples and pears, which safely spend winter in the stores.

Outside it is warm so I recommend cakes with fruit. Today I would like to share with you a yummy, moist cocoa cake with a bright, crunchy crumble topping and fruit. I added peaches and raspberries, but you can add your favourite fruit. The cake will be excellent no matter what you choose.

Ingredients:
300g of flour
50g of grated almonds
350ml of milk
150g of sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa
150ml of oil
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
crumble topping
40g of butter
40g of caster sugar
40g of grated almonds
40g of flour
2 peaches
15 raspberries

During our last holiday, someone served us a perfect rice pudding with strawberries as a dessert after dinner. Because I love rice so much, and especially the creamy texture of arborio rice, I decided to prepare this dessert for my family. It was probably a success, because their bowls were cleared in a flash. But for the time it takes to prepare, this pudding would be a perfect breakfast for a cloudy day in autumn. Unfortunately, we make use of every morning minute to sleep, so this kind of dish is available only at the weekend and on holiday.

The pudding tastes perfect, served hot or chilled. Prepare it for yourself. If you don't like rice grains, blend a smooth pudding, and it will be delicious too. In the summer time, when we have so much fresh fruit around us, you can add raspberries, strawberries, whortleberries or blueberries. In the winter time, roasted apples and raisins will be perfect. I recommend it!

Ingredients (for 3 people):
100g of arborio rice
600ml of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1 teaspoon of butter
1 tablespoon of sugar
a pinch of salt
200g of strawberries
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
