This no-bake delight layers all the cozy flavors: a buttery Biscoff cookie crust, homemade dulce de leche, fresh banana slices, and a whipped cinnamon topping. It’s creamy, sweet, and has that dreamy, melt-in-your-mouth quality that’ll make you reach for seconds. No baking needed – just a quick assembly for a dessert that’s equally impressive and easy. It’s the perfect treat when you want a little something special without turning on the oven.

Serve this pie chilled and straight from the fridge to get the best creamy texture and hold. For a little extra flair, sprinkle the top with crushed Biscoff cookies or some shavings of your favorite chocolate. Pair it with a warm coffee or your favorite cozy drink – the caramel-like dulce de leche and cinnamon cream make this pie the ultimate comfort dessert. It’s also a crowd-pleaser, so bring it along to your next gathering!

Store any leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. The whipped cream topping stays nicely set, and the crust holds well. This pie is best served cold, straight from the fridge, for that perfect creamy bite.

  • Total Time: 3 hrs + 15 min
  • Yield: 8-16

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • small pot with lid
  • food processor
  • pie dish
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • electric mixer
  • tall container
  • vegetable peeler
  • can opener

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 300 grams biscoff cookies
  • 140 grams butter, room temperature
  • 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 250 grams heavy cream
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • You can buy ready-made dulce de leche or order it online, but it’s also easy to make at home ahead of time. Just grab a 400g can of sweetened condensed milk, remove the label, and place the can in a pot. Fill with enough water to completely cover the can, then bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Be sure to keep the can covered with water the entire time – if the water evaporates, just add more. After the 2.5 hours, pour off the water and let the can cool completely before using the dulce de leche inside.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Use a food processor to blend the Biscoff cookies and softened butter until they’re crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into a pie dish, covering the bottom and sides completely. Chill the crust in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the bananas evenly and sprinkle with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning. Place the banana slices in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. Next, pour the cold cream into a tall container, add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, and whip until stiff peaks form. Chill the whipped cream in the fridge until needed. Prepare the chocolate shavings by running a vegetable peeler along the narrow edge of a chocolate bar. Set the shavings aside.
  3. Open the can of dulce de leche and take the crust out of the fridge. Spread the entire can of dulce de leche evenly over the crust.
  4. Take the banana slices out of the fridge and arrange them over the dulce de leche so that the entire surface is covered.
  5. Now, take the whipped cream and spread it evenly over the bananas. Finally, sprinkle the chocolate shavings on top for decoration.
  6. Serve the pie immediately or keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Swedish Meatball Stew


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 80 min
  • Yield: 3-4

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • grater
  • medium bowl
  • large pan with lid
  • whisk
  • measuring cup

Ingredients

Units Scale
MEATBALLS
  • 250 grams minced beef
  • 250 grams minced pork
  • 1 big white onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 20 grams bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 5 grams fresh parsley
  • 5 grams fresh dill
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • nutmeg, salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp clarified butter for frying
SAUCE
  • 20 grams butter
  • 20 grams flour
  • 500 milliliters beef stock
  • 100 milliliters heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • nutmeg, salt & pepper to taste
OTHER INGREDIENTS
  • 150 grams frozen peas
  • 500 grams baby potatoes
TOPPINGS
  • 3 tbsp lingonberry jam
  • 3 tbsp creme fraiche

Instructions

  1. First, peel the onion and garlic cloves and set them aside. Finely chop the parsley and dill, placing them in a medium bowl. Add the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Grate the onion and garlic finely and add them to the mixture as well. Mix everything thoroughly and form the mixture into small balls, about 40g each, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with a bit of clarified butter, and sear the meatballs on all sides until they are nicely browned. They don’t need to be fully cooked through yet, as they’ll finish cooking in the sauce. Be careful not to let them get too dark, as this can cause bitterness in the final dish.
  3. While the meatballs are cooking, wash the potatoes, dry them well, and cut them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set them aside.
  4. Once the meatballs are seared, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate. Return the pan to the stove and deglaze with white wine, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes. Strain the liquid through a sieve to remove any larger bits, then set this liquid aside.
  5. Now, place the pan over low heat, melt the butter, and whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring constantly until you have a smooth, creamy paste. Let it cook for a few minutes, stirring continuously to remove any raw flour taste. Gradually add the beef broth in several stages, whisking each time until the sauce is smooth and comes to a light boil before adding the next portion. Finally, pour in the reserved liquid and the cream, stirring well. Season the sauce with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add the prepared potatoes to the sauce, cover, and let them simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender.
  7. While the potatoes are cooking, place the frozen peas in a small bowl, cover with hot water, and let them sit for about 5 minutes. Drain the peas and set them aside. Finely chop a bit more parsley and dill for garnish, and prepare the lingonberries and crème fraîche.
  8. Once the potatoes are soft, return the meatballs to the sauce, stir everything together, and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and heated.
  9. To serve, divide the potatoes, meatballs, and sauce among deep plates. Top with peas, a dollop of crème fraîche, a spoonful of lingonberry jam, and fresh herbs. Enjoy!

A Little Love Letter

When the chill of fall hits, there’s nothing like a rich, velvety chestnut soup to warm things up. This soup blends the earthy sweetness of roasted chestnuts with a creamy texture that feels luxurious but easy. And, just to give it that something extra, a sprinkle of chili-cinnamon croutons adds a spicy, toasty crunch that makes every spoonful a delight. It’s like wrapping up in your favorite blanket – just with a bit more flavor and spice!

This soup is best served in a cozy bowl, topped generously with chili-cinnamon croutons that bring a mix of heat and warm spice to the creamy chestnut base. A little drizzle of olive oil or try adding a drizzle of this leeks oil as a topping or add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can also add a fresh contrast to the roasted, nutty flavors. Pair it with a simple salad or even a slice of rustic bread on the side for a full, comforting meal that feels like it’s made for sharing. 

Just store any cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the croutons separate so they stay crunchy. Reheat the soup gently on the stove and add the croutons just before serving!

Leek Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 65min
  • Yield: 1 cup / 250 ml

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • sealable container (oil bottle)
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 stalk of leek (the white part)
  • 250 milliliters oil of your choice (I've used avocado oil)

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop the leek, wash it and put it into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until there are only tiny pieces of the leek left.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 101°-104°C (213°-219°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 20 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
