SWEET HEARTS

Valentine’s Day …

That counts for everyone you love.
Whether that’s for the love of your life, your parents or your best friend…you do you.
Don’t participate in it, also totally ok 😊

Although we also often say that you should make every day Valentine’s Day, I also like to do something special.
Since the kids are here, it is often something together with them. Today we tried a Valentine’s dessert.
A classic with a twist.
With these hearts of cookie cake with jam and sprinkles you will conquer everyone’s ❤️.

Supplies:
27 petit-beurre cookies – 1 cup lukewarm milk – 4 tbsp cream butter – 2 tbsp flour sugar – 2 tbsp raspberry jelly Bio d’Or – sprinkles

How to make it:
Mix the cream butter with the powdered sugar in a jar. Take a large flat plate, dip 9 cookies very briefly in the lukewarm milk and arrange them side by side as a base on the plate (3 × 3).
Spread a fine layer of jelly over the cookies, followed by a layer of buttercream. Repeat with 2 more layers of each.
Place the plate in the refrigerator for several hours until you have a firm cake. You can finish it like this with sprinkles and jam but we stuck out hearts with cookie cutters. Sprinkles on top and finish with a small round of jelly in the center.

Success guaranteed with this and super fun to make with your kids as a Valentine’s Day dessert! 🤩

Sweet stars

⭐️ SWEET STARS ⭐️

Because I can personally appreciate a snack with the sweet/savoury combo….

Cheese with jam…I think it’s a match made in heaven. Ever since I was little, I’ve been eating one thing and another. So a cheese board without jam, for example, is a no go for me!

Why wait with cheese until after dinner when you can also make a snack with it?
So these gingerbread stars with cambozola and plum jam are totally my thing.
For the gingerbread stars, you choose for yourself: a minute in the toaster or oven to make them crispy or just like that.
For the cheese: I chose cambozola now because I wanted a fairly accessible mould cheese.

The jam on top is @bio_dor’s plum jam This is made from whole fruits. most of which they grow organically themselves on the fruit plantations and is sweetened with with agave syrup using only the highest quality naturally rich in natural fruit sugars.

What do you guys think of this snack? Something for you, this mould cheese? If you’re not a fan of that at all, replace it with a piece of brie or camembert. Also very tasty! Are you fans of the cheese~confection combo?

⭐️Zerowaste tip: don’t throw away leftover gingerbread, but freeze it, e.g. to put in your stew, use in a bread pudding or make gingerbread croutons for in your yoghurt at breakfast.
