Chocolate Pear Cake
Chocolate and pears is a classic combination and one of the best if I may add. The sweet,

for your meals.
Yields: 1 9-inch cake pan
Ingredients:
3 oz chocolate, chopped
3 oz butter
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
3 oz sugar
3 oz chopped walnuts
4 ripe pears, peeled, halved and cored, then sliced
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon dark rum
Directions:
Put the chocolate and butter in a heavy pan and heat it on low flame until melted. Add the rum
and remove from heat. Let it cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar until creamy, fluffy and pale in color. Carefully mix
in the chocolate then fold in the chopped hazelnuts. In another bowl, whip the egg whites with
a pinch of salt then gently fold it into the chocolate base.
Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and flour it slightly. Spoon the batter into
the pan, arrange the pears on top and bake in the preheated oven at 250F for 30-40 minutes.
The cake will rise then deflate, but that is how it should look like.
Serve when completely chilled with a dollop of fresh cream if you want.

dough comes together, but do not knead it. Using your fingertips, spread the dough on the
bottom of a 9×13-inch pan and bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 10 minutes. Remove
from the oven and set aside.
To make the lemony filling, mix the eggs with the egg yolks, cornstarch and lemon zest then add
the lemon juice. Pour this mixture into the pan, over the crust and bake 40 minutes on lower
heat, about 325F. It is done when it looks set. When chilled, cut into bars.

Mix the butter with the sugar until creamy then add the coconut milk and chia seeds, followed
by the lemon zest. Gradually incorporate the flour then fold in the chopped hazelnuts. Transfer
the dough on a baking tray and shape it into a log. Bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 30-

Lemon Soufflés
I believe everyone fears soufflés and the truth is that yes, they are difficult to master, but the
end result is well worth it. This particular recipe yields a delicious, airy, mousse-like, fragrant
soufflé that will impress any guests.
Yields: 6 ramekins
Ingredients:
1 oz butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
8 egg yolks
10 egg whites
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup low-fat milk
Directions:
In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the flour, lemon zest and half of the sugar. Set aside.
Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Gradually pour it over the egg yolk mixture,
whisking all the time. Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat
until thick and creamy, whisking all the time to prevent it from sticking to the pan. When done,
remove from heat and add the lemon juice and butter. Set aside.
In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff then add the other half of sugar and keep
whipping until a glossy, stiff meringue forms. Gently fold this meringue into the egg yolk
cream.
Grease 8 ramekins with butter and sprinkle them with flour. Fill each ramekin with batter and
level them up. Clean the edges and bake the soufflés in the preheated oven at 375F for 10-15
minutes. Do not open the oven door to check them as any air inside the oven before they are
done will deflate them.
When done, serve them immediately powdered with sugar. The longer you wait, the more they
will deflate and stop being as impressive.

Lemon and Ricotta Tiramisu
Both lemons and ricotta are typical Italian ingredients which is why they work so beautifully
together. This cake is moist, creamy, flavorful and comes as a refreshing delight after a rich
dinner. Plus, adding a bit of Limoncello makes it even more delicious and fragrant.
Yields: 1 9-inch square cake
Ingredients:
2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
juice from 1 lemon
2 pounds ladyfingers
30oz low fat ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons Limoncello
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipped cream
Directions:
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the grated lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar and 4
tablespoons of Limoncello.
To make the syrup, mix the water with the sugar and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes then add
the lemon juice and zest and remove from heat. Let it cool to room temperature then strain.
To make the cake, dip each ladyfinger shortly in the lemon syrup and arrange them on the
bottom of a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Top with a layer of ricotta cheese and a layer of
whipped cream. Add another layer of ladyfingers and continue layering the ricotta, cream and
ladyfingers until you run out. Make sure the top layer is ladyfingers. Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours then turn it upside down on a serving plate.
Decorate with whipped cream and lemon rind shavings.
