Lemon Curd Cheesecake

This is simply the best lemon curd cheesecake recipe! The aromatic sweet notes of lemon and the tanginess of the cream cheese make a beautiful flavor combination really hard to beat. The classic buttery graham cracker crust is the perfect base for this cheesecake. You leave it just with the lemon curd topping or you can crown it with a tall and fluffy Italian meringue, which contrasts perfectly with the creamy texture of the cheesecake. You need to taste it for yourself understand how delicious really is this cheesecake. It’s the creamiest, silkiest and most decadent cheesecake recipe you’ll find!

I can’t believe I’m publishing this recipe now. I developed this recipe a long time ago for a family lunch and is the inspiration for my Brownie Cheesecake Bars and my Lemon Curd Cheesecake Tart. But time went by and I never…

Lemon Cream Cheese Cake

I simply can’t resist lemon and cream cheese together, so obviously I needed to put them together in a recipe! This cake is super soft and has lots of citrusy notes thanks to all the lemon zest in the batter and lemon juice in the cream cheese frosting. A bit of cream cheese in the actual cake batter makes this cake a bit lighter. It’s pure simplicity and pure perfection!

What I love about this cake, even more than its amazing taste, is that it’s so simple and yet people go crazy for it. Everyone loves a good lemon cake. Most people probably have a nostalgic story attached to one, no matter…

Mini Olive Oil Carrot Cakes with the Creamiest Cream Cheese Frosting

Aren’t these mini carrot cakes the cutest?! These mini carrot cakes are incredibly moist and super soft thanks to the olive oil and buttermilk I used in this recipe.

I love baking carrot cakes. They’re Mariana’s favorite and it was the first kind of cake she ever had. I have made different versions depending on her favorite flavors at the moment, one time even doing a cherry cream cheese frosting because she was loving cherry jelly at the time. And the frosting has always been her favorite part. I know that wherever…

Super Creamy Espresso Cheesecake

You won’t find a creamier and silkier espresso cheesecake. The coffee taste is very present in each and every bite, without being bitter.

Biscoff Dulce de Leche Meringue Cheesecake

Never would I have thought that the thin spiced cookies that have saved my life in many flights would become one of the best cheesecake crust I have ever made. Because they have more fat than graham crackers, the consistency of this crust is softer, almost cakey, and blends so deliciously when mixed with the cheesecake. I thought dulce de leche would pair perfectly with them. Both have notes of warm and spiced caramel. The Italian meringue on top makes this cheesecake something so good you will make sure a big piece remains on your fridge before sharing it with anyone!

This recipe has been in my notebook for a few weeks now. I’m very happy to finally share it with you, just in time for the holidays. As you probably know by now…

Pumpkin Bundt with Maple Cream Cheese and Tequila Reposado Syrup

(Update: I updated the ingredients amounts to include weight equivalents.)

When I asked about two weeks ago through my Instagram stories what recipe should I make next, I was so happy you guys voted for a pumpkin Bundt. I really was in the mood for something warm and sweet and this is truly one of the softest pumpkin cakes I have ever made. It’s super soft, moist, full of warm spices such as cinnamon and ginger filled with sweet maple cream cheese and then soaked in tequila syrup. It’s really, really good! Especially that cream cheese bite.

Now, I’m not crazy about pumpkin. Besides the recipe for my Pumpkin Pie, there are no other recipes that call for it in the blog. What can I say?…

If you are wondering how cream cheese tastes in an ice cream, let me tell you it’s a match made in Heaven that you don’t want to miss out! It’s precisely the tanginess of the cream cheese that balances out the sweetness from the sugar and fruits and the fat from the heavy cream. Cream cheese also adds a lot of viscosity to the ice cream texture, making it creamier than anything else.

This blueberry cheesecake ice cream has no eggs. It’s made with heavy cream that was…
