Chia seeds have long been a staple of our breakfast and dessert menu. Up to now I have combined them with fruit mousse. I like it the most with mango, but I also added plums, strawberries and apples.

Today I prepared a chocolate version of this dessert. I used a very popular recipe for homemade Nutella crème. My children weren't fooled that it was really Nutella. They agreed to call it chocolate crème, but they said that it was nowhere near original Nutella. They sometimes eat it with toast or waffles, and today I found out that it is excellent for desserts with chia seeds.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
3 tablespoons of chia seeds
400ml of coconut milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
chocolate crème
2 small bananas
half an avocado
3 tablespoons of cocoa
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
decoration
50g of dark chocolate
2 tangerines

Do you remember the time when citrus fruit sailed from Cuba to Poland? We kept a close eye on the news about it and impatiently waited for the delivery to the shops. Today this fruit is in the markets all year round and sometimes, unfortunately, it is forgotten and left to ripen in the cupboard. Today was another time when I had to use up the bananas, because nobody wanted to eat them. I think we should wave goodbye to bananas. I will wait until my son asks me for some. Only then will I buy them.

But where one door shuts, another opens. The very ripe bananas were an ingredient of yummy muffins with small pieces of chocolate. I found the recipe in the Lidl cookery book. In the original recipe the muffins were decorated with chocolate crème. I sprinkled them with caster sugar and cocoa.

Ingredients (12 muffins)
3 ripe bananas
100 g of butter
150 g of brown sugar
2 eggs
1.5 teaspoons of baking powder
260 g of flour
100g of dark chocolate
2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar

My mother always said that after Sunday dinner there should be dessert. And every Sunday in my home there really was something sweet. I also try to keep this tradition, all the more so because I have a couple of gourmands in my home.

Today I would like to share with all the busy mums and their little gourmands the recipe for some beautifully fragrant, swift cheese cookies with apple filling. Be careful! I warn you they are addictive . Teenagers can prepare them on their own. The hot oven is the only difficulty. They can deal with everything else themselves.

Ingredients (for 15 cookies)
160g of flour
125g of cottage cheese
120g of butter
2 teaspoons of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
half a teaspoon of baking powder
2 apples
caster sugar or icing for decoration

Malabi is an Israeli dessert that looks like our budino. It is sweet, creamy and prepared with rose water or orange flower water. I don't like rose water because of its taste and above all its smell, so I prepared my version of malabi with orange flower water.

In the East this dessert is served with walnuts. I make a mousse with mango for it and decorate it with fruit. I must say that this version is really yummy and very glamorous. If you like the smell of rose water, make the original dessert with it and with walnuts. Maybe only to form your own opinion of it.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
400ml of rice-coconut milk
200ml of 30% sweet cream
2 tablespoons of caster sugar
50g of rice flour
1 teaspoon of orange flower water
1 mango
1 teaspoon of gelatine
fruit for decoration

In my home bananas are a difficult subject. They are either eaten just after buying or lie and ripen slowly until they are only good for cocktails or cakes. Fortunately, we like both of these options, so bananas don't go to waste in my home.

Today I tried a new recipe for banana cake with chocolate by Kinga Paruzel. It is not enough to say that this cake was excellent! I won't bake any other kind of banana cake. It was perfect in all particulars: Easy, cheap, and all housewives have all the ingredients in their own kitchen. In addition, it is moist, fluffy and very chocolatey, and it smells beautiful while baking. It has only one fault: it definitely vanishes too fast. But we can sort this out easily. We can bake another cake.

Ingredients (25cm cake tin):
110g of wheat flour
30g of rye flour
2 bananas
2 eggs
150g of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa
125ml of oil
100ml of thick natural yoghurt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
half a teaspoon of baking soda
a pinch of salt
100 g of dark chocolate
