Three times ‘who cares’ desserts
Rens Kroes always makes super healthy apple pie for her nephew Phyllon's birthday. Convenient for Doutzen, and moreover, she could also indulge herself because you can't get fat from a cake by Rens. The recipe is in her brand new cookbook, so now we can all make that cake at home too. And eat it all up, because sugar is replaced by dates and figs and instead of flour, you use spelt flour. Ideal, I'm just as happy with my flat stomach, and I want to keep it that way. Moreover, even though I don't have them yet, I would also prefer to see my children with a fresh vegetable and fruit smoothie rather than with a pink cookie or a pack of fruit puree from the supermarket.
But guys, to be honest. Nothing beats a real chipolata birthday cake with bright pink or green marzipan, topped with letters made of piped chocolate. And at that one annual children's party, there should also simply be plenty of marshmallows and licorice laces. Not secretly putting goji berries in front of them and saying they are red sour candies. Okay, this aside.
I just want to say that some things are incredibly delicious and just aren't that healthy. So what. Then you just train an hour longer the next day or have a balance day. I'm a big advocate of healthy eating and you won't quickly find cookies and sweets in my kitchen cabinets, but if I go out to eat or host a dinner, then we go all the way. I just loosen a button under the table. I hope Doutzen does that sometimes too, because otherwise she's really missing out.
Here are three super easy desserts that aren't necessarily good for the waistline, but hallelujah, so worth it.
Eton mess
Buy a few meringues (a type of foam pastry) from a good pastry shop. Crumble them into a large bowl. Puree a container of strawberries (first rinse them clean and remove the stems of course) and fold them through the crumbled foam. In another bowl, put 1/8 cup of cream with a generous scoop of sugar and mix it into whipped cream. Now gently stir the mess (hence the name mess) together. Believe me, after one bite you'll be standing on your chair.
Raspberry cheesecake
- container of raspberries.
- 1 pack of Bastogne cookies
- 50 g butter
- 600 grams of cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 85 ml sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 vanilla pod
Grease a springform pan and preheat the oven to 140 degrees. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Combine the melted butter with the Bastogne cookies in the food processor. Cover the bottom of a cake pan with this mixture. Place the base in the fridge. Mix the cream cheese until soft and creamy with a mixer. Add the sour cream, eggs, sugar, and the seeds from the vanilla pod and mix until smooth. Then gently fold in the raspberries. Remove the springform from the fridge and spread the mixture over the bottom of the springform. Bake the cheesecake for an hour. Do check on it occasionally. Let the cake cool completely, and then put it back in the fridge for a bit. Enjoy!
Tarte tatin
Of course, Phyllon's apple pie is super delicious, but I'll also give you a recipe from the ladies of Chicks love food. You only need 5 ingredients and it's ready in no time. Don't forget to take that extra walk the next day, okay!
