The one thing we cannot resist is trying out new delicious recipes for pancakes. These butternut squash protein pancakes are super tasty and packed with protein, which makes them the perfect quick breakfast choice.

They’re topped with yogurt, nut butter, and granola and filled with delicious flavors of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Spoil your taste buds and enjoy this delicious dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup egg whites
  • 1 scoop vanilla brown rice protein powder
  • 1/4 cup butternut squash, roasted and mashed into a puree (canned works too)
  • 1 teaspoon ground flax seeds or chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 2–3 drops of liquid stevia
  • 1 Tablespoon raisins (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon PB2 or other powdered peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons vanilla unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl mix together the egg whites, protein powder, squash, flaxseed, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and stevia until all the powder is dissolved. If your butternut squash is chunky you might want to blend it with an immersion blender to make it smooth.
  2. Spray a medium-sized pan with cooking spray and set heat to medium-low. The lower heat is the key to making sure the pancakes don’t burn.
  3. Pour in pancake batter and cook until little bubbles form (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip the pancake over to the other side. Flipping the pancake is tricky because it’s usually quite large. Lately I’ve been making two pancakes with the batter so they cook faster and are easier to flip.
  4. Cook until pancake is done in the middle. It typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
  5. If you’re using powdered peanut butter, go ahead and mix it with almond milk to make your topping.
  6. Place pancakes on a plate, top with raisins and drizzle with peanut butter topping.

What could be better than a tower made out of donuts? Use different sized platters and tasty artisanal donuts to create more fun and affordable dessert option.

Cookie Cake

Softer cakes aren’t for everyone. Some couples prefer using crispy cookies to build a stellar wedding cake. Try stacking chocolate chip cookies or Oreos high to create the most beautiful cookie pyramid.

Pizza

Who said wedding cakes actually need to be sweet? Some couples aren’t into cake and would prefer to stack cheesy slices on top of each other to present on their big day.

Baklava is a sweet Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dessert filled with honey and nuts, and it’s pretty hard to resist. Baklava with Nutella, on the other hand, is a modern take on this traditional recipe that sounds like a calorie bomb, but it’s definitely worth trying.

Dina Polyashov from Simply Home Cooked shared this interesting recipe on her blog. She described this dessert as “crunchy buttered phyllo dough layered between Nutella and pecans, then drizzled in a honey syrup.” This sounds more than delicious, so make sure to try it soon.

Ingredients:

Ingredients for the syrup:

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Ingredients for the baklava:

  • 40 sheets phyllo dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup Nutella
  • 2 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Begin by making the syrup first. This way it has time to cool down before you pour it over the baked baklava. Combine water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce be heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Depending on the brand, you may need to trim your phyllo sheets to fit the baking dish. Butter the bottom of a deep 9 x 13 baking dish. Place 8 sheets of phyllo dough into the baking dish, brushing melted butter on top of each sheet before placing the next. Make sure the remaining phyllo sheets are covered with a damp cloth during the process. If it is not covered, it will dry out very quickly.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup Nutella on top of the 8th phyllo sheet, then evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  4. Add 6 buttered phyllo sheets, and this time only add 1/2 cup pecans. Then add 6 more buttered phyllo sheets 1/4 cup Nutella and 1/2 cup pecans. Add 6 buttered sheets and 1/2 cup pecans. Add 6 more buttered phyllo sheets, 1/4 cup Nutella and 1/2 cup pecans. Then finish with 8 buttered phyllo sheets and butter the top generously.

  2. Arrange Amaretti cookies at the bottom of each serving bowl, you will need four bowls. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the lemon syrup over the cookies and set aside. Add soaked and drained gelatin sheets to the rest of the lemon syrup in a saucepan. Stir, so that the gelatin dissolves completely. Add greek yogurt and stir well to incorporate. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  3. Add cold whipping cream and sugar to a large bowl. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually (in three additions) gently fold the lemon – yogurt cream to the whipped cream. You will get a creamy, light citrusy mousse.
  4. Pour the mousse over the Amaretti cookies in serving bowls. Place in the fridge for 2-6 hours, or even better, overnight. The mousse has to firm and become super creamy. Decorate with lemon zest and serve.

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Ingredients for the baklava:

  • 40 sheets phyllo dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup Nutella
  • 2 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Begin by making the syrup first. This way it has time to cool down before you pour it over the baked baklava. Combine water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce be heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Depending on the brand, you may need to trim your phyllo sheets to fit the baking dish. Butter the bottom of a deep 9 x 13 baking dish. Place 8 sheets of phyllo dough into the baking dish, brushing melted butter on top of each sheet before placing the next. Make sure the remaining phyllo sheets are covered with a damp cloth during the process. If it is not covered, it will dry out very quickly.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup Nutella on top of the 8th phyllo sheet, then evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  4. Add 6 buttered phyllo sheets, and this time only add 1/2 cup pecans. Then add 6 more buttered phyllo sheets 1/4 cup Nutella and 1/2 cup pecans. Add 6 buttered sheets and 1/2 cup pecans. Add 6 more buttered phyllo sheets, 1/4 cup Nutella and 1/2 cup pecans. Then finish with 8 buttered phyllo sheets and butter the top generously.

Ingredients:

  • 4 gelatin sheets (approx. 6g)
  • 100 g sugar (½ cup or 3.5 oz)
  • 4 bio lemons (zest)
  • 120 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (½ cup or 4.2 oz)
  • 1 tbsp Limoncello liqueur (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla paste (optional)

  • 450 g whipping cream (1 pound) (Zelene Doline)

Instructions:

  1. Soak gelatin sheets in a small bowl filled with cold water. Prepare lemon syrup. Add sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, Limoncello, and vanilla paste to a saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then cook for 3 – 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Arrange Amaretti cookies at the bottom of each serving bowl, you will need four bowls. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the lemon syrup over the cookies and set aside. Add soaked and drained gelatin sheets to the rest of the lemon syrup in a saucepan. Stir, so that the gelatin dissolves completely. Add greek yogurt and stir well to incorporate. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  3. Add cold whipping cream and sugar to a large bowl. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually (in three additions) gently fold the lemon – yogurt cream to the whipped cream. You will get a creamy, light citrusy mousse.
  4. Pour the mousse over the Amaretti cookies in serving bowls. Place in the fridge for 2-6 hours, or even better, overnight. The mousse has to firm and become super creamy. Decorate with lemon zest and serve.

If you want summer to last a bit longer, you must try these Mexican popsicles called paletas. This is not your ordinary popsicle – it’s the best-frozen treat made from fresh fruit, which means they’re delicious!

Sommer Collier from A Spicy Perspective shared a recipe for spicy-sweet paletas made with fresh cantaloupe and chiles. This sounds like a promising combination of flavors, so make sure to try it yourself.

  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed and diced
  • 2 drops red food coloring to enhance the color, optional

Instructions

  1. Peel the cantaloupe and remove the seeds. Roughly chop the cantaloupe and cucumber. Place them in a blender with lime juice, salt, and sugar. Puree until smooth. Check the flavor; it should be equally sweet and salty. Add a little more sugar or salt if needed.
  2. Add half of all of the jalapeño to the blender. Pulse a few times.
