Flour and Confectionery Products

Biscotti

Biscotti, called cantucci or biscotti di Prato in Italy, are twice-baked Tuscan almond cookies made from flour, sugar, eggs and whole almonds. The name comes from the Latin 'bis' (twice) and 'coctus' (cooked): the dough is baked as two logs, left to cool for 10–15 minutes, sliced and baked again until dry. Makes about 24 biscotti; one biscotto is a serving.

Peach Crumble

Juicy peaches under a rough, buttery oat-and-nut topping that shatters when you push a spoon through it. The filling thickens as it bakes, the crumble goes golden, and the whole thing smells like summer in the oven.

Vegan Cheesecake with cashews, coconut cream and lemon juice — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAMedium

Sweet Dishes

Vegan Cheesecake

A no-bake cheesecake built on a date-and-nut base, filled with blended cashews, lemon, vanilla, and coconut cream, then set in the freezer until firm. The texture is rich and silky — somewhere between a classic New York cheesecake and a frozen cream dessert. The tang from the lemon juice is what makes it taste like a cheesecake rather than just a sweet cashew cream. This recipe requires a high-speed blender and patience: soaked cashews and several hours of chilling. In exchange, it produces something that looks and tastes considerably more impressive than its ingredient list suggests.

Mole Poblano (Mexican Chicken in Chocolate Chili Sauce) with chicken, ancho chiles and mexican chocolate — Mexico recipe

Mole Poblano (Mexican Chicken in Chocolate Chili Sauce)

Mole poblano is Mexico's most celebrated sauce — a deep, dark, layered blend of dried chiles, toasted nuts and seeds, dried fruit, spices, and a little Mexican chocolate, ladled over tender chicken. Tied to Puebla, where legend places its birth in a convent kitchen, it's famously complex, with well over a dozen ingredients ground and simmered into a glossy, bittersweet-spicy sauce. It doesn't taste of chocolate; the cacao just deepens the whole into something rich and unforgettable. The dried chiles also soak for 15–20 minutes while you fry the nuts.

Chicken Pastilla (Moroccan Sweet-Savory Pie) with chicken thighs, phyllo and almonds — Morocco recipe

Chicken Pastilla (Moroccan Sweet-Savory Pie)

Pastilla is Morocco's most extravagant pie — a crisp, golden pastry of paper-thin warqa (or phyllo) concealing three layers: saffron-spiced shredded chicken, a soft egg-and-onion custard set in the reduced cooking juices, and a sweet crunch of fried almonds scented with orange blossom. Dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon, it plays sweet against savoury in a way few dishes dare. Born of Arab-Andalusian heritage, it's a celebration centrepiece served at weddings and feasts.

Vanillekipferl (German Vanilla Crescent Cookies) with flour, butter and almonds — Germany recipe

Vanillekipferl (German Vanilla Crescent Cookies)

Vanillekipferl are small crescent-shaped shortbread cookies made with ground almonds and rolled in vanilla sugar while still warm. They were first baked in Vienna, and today no Advent cookie tin in Germany or Austria is complete without them. The dough has no baking powder and only two egg yolks, so the crumb is sandy and melts on the tongue instead of crunching. The 75 minutes cover mixing, shaping and baking three trays; the dough also needs an hour in the fridge before shaping, and the cookies are at their best after two or three days in a tin. Makes about 70 pieces, six to a serving.

Zimtsterne (German Cinnamon Star Cookies) with almonds, egg whites and cinnamon — Germany recipe

Zimtsterne (German Cinnamon Star Cookies)

Zimtsterne are star-shaped German Christmas cookies made without any flour: the dough is ground almonds, cinnamon and a meringue of egg whites and powdered sugar, and part of that same meringue becomes the white glaze on top. They come from Swabia in southern Germany and are chewy and soft inside, closer to marzipan than to a biscuit. They bake at a low 140°C so the glaze stays snow white. The 90 minutes cover whipping, cutting, glazing and two trays in the oven; the sticky dough also rests 45 minutes in the fridge before rolling. Makes about 40 stars, four to a serving, and they are naturally gluten-free.

Spekulatius (German Spiced Christmas Biscuits) with almonds, cinnamon and cardamom — Germany recipe

Spekulatius (German Spiced Christmas Biscuits)

Spekulatius are thin, crisp spiced shortcrust biscuits stamped with a picture before baking, known in the Netherlands and Belgium as speculaas and baked across the Rhineland and Westphalia for Sankt Nikolaus on 6 December. The dough is a butter shortcrust built around a home-mixed spice blend of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and white pepper, with ground almonds folded in for a short, sandy bite. Traditionally the picture comes from a carved wooden mould, a Model, but an embossed rolling pin or an ordinary cookie cutter gives the same biscuit without ever owning one. The 60 minutes here covers mixing, shaping and two trays in the oven; the dough itself needs to rest in the fridge overnight, and the biscuits only crisp up fully once they cool. Makes about 45 thin biscuits, five to a serving.

Christstollen (German Christmas Stollen) with raisins, candied orange peel and almonds — Germany recipe

Christstollen (German Christmas Stollen)

Christstollen, also called Weihnachtsstollen or simply Stollen, is a German Christmas yeast loaf: a buttery Hefeteig packed with rum-soaked raisins, candied orange and lemon peel (Orangeat and Zitronat) and almonds, then soaked in melted butter and buried under powdered sugar. You knead the dough, fold it into the traditional ridge and bake it about 50 minutes, 10 at 200°C and the rest at 170°C; the loaf makes 16 slices. It is baked a few weeks before Christmas and left wrapped in foil in a cool place for two to three weeks so the fruit, rum and butter settle into the crumb, and neither the rising nor that maturing is counted in the time. Only loaves from Dresden and about a dozen nearby towns may be sold as Dresdner Stollen, so this is the home version.

Bratapfel (German Baked Apples) with apple, raisins and almonds — Germany recipe

Sweet Dishes

Bratapfel (German Baked Apples)

A Bratapfel is a German baked apple: a whole apple, cored, filled with marzipan, toasted almonds and rum-soaked raisins, and baked until soft. In Germany it is a winter dessert, traditionally made at Christmas time from firm, tart apples that keep well, such as Boskoop. One is a Bratapfel, several are Bratäpfel, Dr. Oetker also calls them Puttäpfel, and in English they are simply German baked apples. This is the filling essen & trinken and LECKER use, here with a little brown sugar and cinnamon. A little apple juice goes into the dish, and you spoon it over the apples when they come out. They are usually served warm with vanilla sauce, which is not part of this recipe. The raisins soak in rum for 2 hours beforehand. After that the apples take about 70 minutes, 35 of them in the oven.
