Apple Tiramisu

Today we have a twist on an Italian classic. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Ingredients:
1 serving of cottage cheese
2 slices of rye crispbread
1 apple
1 cup of espresso
Cinnamon
Cocoa powder
Mineral water
Vanilla

Preparation: 
Place the crispbread on a plate and add soak lightly with the espresso. Wash and grate the apple, spread half on top of the crispbread and sprinkle with cinnamon. Mix the cottage cheese with the vanilla and water and spread half of it on top of the crispbread. Place the second slice of crispbread on top and soak lightly with the espresso again. Top with the other half of the grated apple and finally spread the rest of the cottage cheese on top. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour, the longer the better. Sprinkle with cocoa powder before serving and then enjoy.

Tip: If there is no cottage cheese on your plan, you can swap this with yogurt. The apple can be replaced with another grated fruit or even fruit puree.

Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Although it is currently winter in the US, this does not mean it is not ice cream season. Today we have a super easy ice cream recipe that is not only delicious but will also remind you of summer!

Ingredients:
1 serving of fresh or frozen pineapple
1 tablespoon of coconut milk
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of ground cloves (optional)

Preparation:
Cut the pineapple into small chunks and then add to a small blender along with the coconut milk and a small pinch of cinnamon and cloves. Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency. Put the finished mixture into a container or mold and freeze to enjoy later or serve immediately.

Grilled Plums

Although we usually associate grilling with savory dishes, the grill is also a great tool for desserts. Many fruits such as plums (which we are using here) and pineapples are wonderful when cooked on the grill!

Ingredients:
1 serving of fresh plums
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of sesame seeds
1 teaspoon of olive oil

Preparation:
Remove the pits from the plums, quarter them, and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sesame seeds. Coat two sheets of aluminium foil with olive oil, add the plums, and then wrap the foil around the fruit. Put the plum package on the grill and leave the fruit to braise in their own juice for about 20 minutes at low heat. Enjoy!
