Fastelavn (Shrovetide) is right around the corner in Denmark and so this time of year you see these wonderful fresh-baked filled rolls everywhere. I have posted about the Danish Fastelavn tradition before but I think the Fastelavnsboller is totally worth revisiting, especially since they are one of my favorite Danish treats. If your curious to [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve made Ice Cream, and yes I know it’s in the dead of winter, but I just really had a desire to make Ice Cream. I wanted it be a coconut flavor since that is one of Joe’s (my husband) favorite flavors. Then I came across this exotic Coconut with [...]

The Holiday season is upon us and with so many foods to be baked and cooked it is really tempting to use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own. However, this pie crust is both delicious and quick and easy to make…so why use a store-bought? This Perfect Pie Crust comes out light [...]

We are looooong overdue for a Danish recipe, don’t you think? There are so many recipes that I want to make (Danish and others alike) and simply not enough hours in the day. Maybe if I took a month off from work I could make a dent in my to-do-list. Anyway, I have been planning [...]
Easy Cheese Danish

I saw Ina make these cheese Danish on Barefoot Contessa. They are easy, quick and very delicious. What’s not to like? They are wonderful served warm as well as the following day at room temperature. After the pastries are filled and folded, Ina tells you to refrigerate the pastries for 15 minutes before baking…which I failed to do. So [...]

Roulade is one of my (many) favorite cakes and my mother use to make a fantastic roulade with a raspberry cream. I wanted to make some version of her cake and this is what I came up with. Roulade can be a very intimidating dessert to make, I know I felt a bit anxious about it myself. [...]
