Individual Berry no bake cheescakes (Mini cheescakes de frutos rojos)

 

This is summed up like this, I was going to take a shower now and decided to come to the computer to finish my post first!

because later the house swallows me!

This is a dessert (red fruit cheescake) that could perfectly serve for Christmas.

I like these little glass serving containers and each one with its own portion.

A base of cookies, cream cheese and on top of this a compote of red fruits (use frozen) even though here we already have natural fruits (blueberries, strawberries and others are not always found)

Recipe Apple and almonds Galette

Ingredients

For dough

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

130 grams butter salted or unsalted 

1 teaspoon almond extract

pinch of salt

5 to 8 tablespoons ice water

For the filling

4 medium apples (granny smith or fuji) peleed,cored  and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoon al purpose flour

1 dash or two ground cinnamon

1 egg beaten for brushing dough

Sliced almonds (about 20 grams)

Method

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar salt and cubed butter and toss lightly with yours fingers until the butter  cubes have been coated in flour.  Using both hands pinch the butter with your thumb until you have crumbs.

Some of the butter pieces will be smaller and is okay.

Add three to four tablespoons of Ice water to the butter/flour mixture  and incrporate the water into the flour. You want to add enough ice water to bind the dough  but not too much. Add more water one tablespoon at a time, incorporating the water and pressing the douh into a ball  to see how well it binds.

The important is to incorporate enough water to eliminate most

of the dry spots into dough, be careful not add too much so the dough becomes too wet and sticky.

Press the dough into a ball while  it's in the bowl and as soon as itcomes together without crumbling  it's done.

Take a piece of  plastic wrap and press it into nthe bowl  and lift it. Wrap the dough completely in the plastic and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.

Prepare the  filling

When you are ready to bake , preheat the oven to 180°c (375°F) .

Toss the apples slices in a large bowl with the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Let by 15 minutes.

Assemble the galette

 Take the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a floured surface to roughly  a 13  inch round ( about 30 cm)

Transfer to a baking sheet lined  with parchment paper. Leave a border since you'll be foldingthis over the apples. Arrange the apples slices over the dough and fold  the outer edge of the dough onto the apples. Brush the dough  with the  egg wash  and sprinkle with sliced almonds over the galette.

Baker for 30 to 35  minutes or until the  the crust is golden and flaky.

Serve alone or with whipped cream or vanilla Ice cream

It is just me or you also feel that this year has been so crazy with everything that happens even in the world.

The pandemic, wars, diseases has been a tremendous year.

 Anyway  really hope you like these berry muffins are delicious and so quick and everyone loves them.

For the recipe you can use fresh or frozen berries.

Here spring is approaching but it is still very cold, and even snowed in the mountains although it has rained little.

Tomato, basil and ricotta tart (Tarta de tomates, albahaca y ricotta)

 

The force of life keeps everything going despite pandemics, sorrows and pain.

In between moments of small happiness  (that's what I call it) moments when everything seems fine. They are fleeting but I guess that's life.

I hope all of you are well in the northern hemisphere in summer and here in winter. It has rained very little this year and this really worry me.

We need it to rain. Hopefully August would be more benign in rains.

At least the mountains are snowy and it's been very cold.

Regarding how much I wanted to make this tomato, ricotta and basil tart recipe, it is delicious.

I love this tart recipe, especially the crust.

You can use little tomatos or tomatos slices.
