Peach Week: Indulging in the Sweetness of Summer by lamllenel
If you know me, you know I absolutely adore peaches. While it may not be officially peach season, I couldn't resist the incredible bargain at the grocery store. So, I've officially declared it Peach Week! I'll be sharing a few yummy peach recipes that not only look beautiful but also taste divine at your next gathering. Whether you're hosting a big bash or simply treating yourself, these peach delights will bring a touch of sunshine to your table.
Let's start off Peach Week with a show-stopping dessert: Peach Pavlova. This dessert is surprisingly easy to make and can even be prepared ahead of time.
What is a Pavlova?
A pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova( Thank you wikipedia). It features a crisp crust and a soft, light interior, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits. While meringue and pavlova both use whipped egg whites and sugar, the difference lies in the texture. Meringues are typically crisp and dry throughout, whereas pavlovas have a marshmallow-like center that pairs beautifully with fruit toppings.
Why Peach Pavlova?
Peach pavlova is sush a good combination of textures and flavors. The sweetness of the peaches complements the delicate sweetness of the pavlova base, while the juicy fruit adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy, marshmallowy center. It's a dessert that looks as stunning as it tastes, making it perfect for any occasion.
Peach Pavlova Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Pavlova:
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Peach Jam Puree:
4-5 ripe peaches, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
For the Grilled Peaches:
2-3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon honey
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 9-inch circle on it. Flip the parchment paper so the pencil side is down.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold in the white vinegar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Spoon the meringue onto the parchment paper, spreading it within the drawn circle. Create a slight well in the center for the filling.
Place the pavlova in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 250°F (120°C).
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking.
While the pavlova is baking make the peach jam
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let it cool slightly, then puree the mixture in a blender until smooth.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the peach halves with honey and grill the peaches, cut side down, for about 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
Once the pavlova is completely cool, transfer it to a serving platter.
Spread the peach jam puree over the center of the pavlova.
Arrange the grilled peach halves on top of the puree.
Enjoy!

Today, I'm excited to share my black sesame brownies recipe. These brownies are so addictive; you might find yourself making them on repeat. Last month, black sesame paste was my obsession. I mean, I was adding it to everything from brioche bread to cookies and, of course, brownies. When I made my first batch of these black sesame brownies, I knew I had stumbled upon something truly special. After making it a couple of times and perfecting everything, I'm finally ready to share it with you.
These brownies embody everything I love in a brownie. They're rich, decadent, and packed with that unmistakable nutty flavor from the sesame paste. Picture this: a dense and fudgy brownie with crispy edges that give way to a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth center. Are you drooling yet? Because I sure am!
Now, let's talk about what makes these brownies worth trying. First off, that black sesame paste? It's the real MVP here. Not only does it add a depth of flavor that's out of this world, but it also gives the brownies a unique twist that'll have everyone asking for the recipe.
So let's get into it.
Here's the recipe for Sesame Espresso Brownies:
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 1/4 tsp of espresso powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup of melted dulce de leche pastilles
1/4 cup of black sesame paste
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the espresso powder, salt, and cocoa powder, dolce de leche until smooth.
Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Spoon dollops of black sesame paste over the batter, then swirl it gently with a knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Enjoy!

Lamllenel recipe:
Over the weekend, I found myself in the mood to bake. Baking is literally one of my go-to stress relievers, and I was also craving a slice of delicious cake. However, I couldn't quite decide between a Persimmon Olive Oil Cake, a Chamomile Cardamom Lemon Cake, or a classic Banana Bread with nuts and chocolate. So, I turned to my Instagram community for help, and after a quick poll, it was clear: the Chamomile Cardamom Lemon Cake was the winner. So here we are!
I've experimented with many chamomile and Earl Grey cakes in the past, but this time, I wanted something with a unique flavor profile that wasn't too heavy. Cardamom tends to bring a depth of flavor with its hints of citrus and herbal notes. With that in mind, pairing it with lemon allows the lemon to provide a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the cardamom. Lastly, the chamomile brings a delicate sweetness that plays off the bitterness of the cardamom, creating a harmonious contrast.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp dried chamomile flowers
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
Zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, dried chamomile flowers, and ground cardamom. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Light Frosting with Cardamom and Chamomile Syrup:
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup chamomile and cardamom syrup (see recipe below)
Zest of 1 lemon, for topping
In a mixing bowl, combine softened mascarpone cheese and heavy whipping cream.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until it thickens and soft peaks form.
Slowly drizzle in the chamomile and cardamom syrup while continuing to whip the mixture.
Whip until the glaze is smooth and holds stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix.
Assembly:
Once the cake has cooled completely, place it on a serving plate or cake stand.
Pour the prepared chamomile cardamom glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Use a spatula to gently spread the glaze evenly over the cake.
Sprinkle the lemon zest generously over the top of the glazed cake for a bright, citrusy finish.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy the delicate flavors of chamomile, cardamom, and lemon in every bite!
Enjoy!

Let's get started.
Ingredients:
1 cup organic crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup date syrup
2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
Pinch of sea salt

1 cup good-quality dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine organic crunchy peanut butter, date syrup, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the ingredients are well combined. Once mixed, gently fold in the cereal, ensuring an even distribution of all the goodness.
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into individual balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined tray. The combination of peanut butter, chia seeds, and date syrup forms a nutritious base, while the rice krispies add a delightful crunch.
Melt good-quality dark chocolate, creating a velvety and indulgent coating for each energy ball. Carefully cover each ball with the melted chocolate. For an extra layer of flavor and texture, immediately sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the chocolate-covered balls, ensuring they are generously coated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and pumpkin spice. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until no flour streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, I'm sure you don't want a dense cake.
Pour the batter into your pan.
Bake in the 350Fpreheated oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla essence to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until everything is well combined and the frosting is smooth.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top and add your nuts of choice ( personally I think this pair well with pecans).

In a small pan over medium-low heat, toss the chopped pecans and let them roast for 6-8 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Once done, remove from the heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the chilled butter and toss to coat the cube with flour. With your hands work the butter into the flour until you're left with chunks then add the whole milk and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the roasted pecans over the partially baked peach filling.
Add a layer of sliced marshmallows on top of the pecans.
Add the dough on top and flatten with with your hands a little.* It won't cover the entire dish but will spread and expand during baking.
