INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

These soft, pillowy buns are one of those things that somehow feel both nostalgic and wildly indulgent. We’re talking golden, fluffy dough, a silky vanilla filling, and a bright hit of strawberry jam, all topped with a delicate crumble of streusel. It’s giving cozy Sunday morning, messy counter, and a “just one more” situation. Whether you grew up with German-style sweet buns or not, this combo is the kind of thing that makes you pause mid-bite and just… smile.

How to serve
These are lovely served warm, when the vanilla cream is still soft and the jam gently melts into the dough. But honestly? They’re just as dreamy cold. Straight from the fridge works, especially with a cup of coffee on a slow morning. Serve them stacked on a brunch platter or individually in cupcake liners for that little bakery moment. Optional, but highly recommended: a dusting of powdered sugar to make them feel extra special.

How to store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • small saucepan
  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • stand mixer or electric hand mixer
  • plastic wrap
  • rectangular baking dish

Ingredients

Units Scale

DOUGH

  • 250 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 7 grams dry active yeast
  • 60 grams white sugar
  • 525 grams all-purpose flour (in Germany 550er)
  • 75 grams butter, soft
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt

VANILLA CREAM

  • 200 grams heavy cream
  • 90 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60 grams white sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 20 grams cornstarch

STREUSEL

  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 70 grams butter, soft
  • 70 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

OTHER INGREDIENTS

  • 200 grams strawberry jam (homemade or store-bought)
  • confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the cream with the sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the milk until it comes to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, egg yolk, and remaining milk. Slowly pour the starch mixture into the boiling cream while whisking constantly until it thickens into a smooth pudding. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Set aside for later.
  2. Gently warm the milk to 38°C / 100°F and stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for a few minutes until slightly foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, egg, soft butter, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead for about 10 minutes until you get a smooth, soft dough that doesn’t stick. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes.
  3. Combine the butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt and mix until crumbly. Chill the streusel until ready to use.
  4. Once the dough has risen, knead it briefly and divide into 12 equal balls, about 80g / 3oz each. Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper and arrange the dough balls inside. Let them rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Use your thumbs and press in the middle of the dough ball to form kind of a bowl shape that is going to be filled each with 1 tablespoon of vanilla pudding and 1 heaping teaspoon of strawberry jam side by side.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°Ft. Sprinkle the chilled streusel generously over the buns and bake for about 55 minutes, or until golden. Serve slightly warm or fully cooled—both are delicious. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If cookies had a main character moment, this would be it. Buttery soft with just the right chew, these beauties have swirls of tart raspberry and are topped with the dreamiest white chocolate passionfruit ganache. They’re bright, fruity, and just a little fancy, but still easy enough to whip up on a random Tuesday. If you love that perfect balance between rich, creamy, and slightly tangy, these cookies are about to become your new obsession.

How to serve
These cookies shine on their own but pairing them with a cozy drink takes them to another level. A cup of earl grey, a matcha latte, or even an iced vanilla coffee would complement the tart-sweet balance perfectly.

How to store
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep the ganache separately in the fridge and spread it on just before serving.

  • Yield: 10 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • electric mixer
  • mixing bowl
  • medium-sized bowl
  • piping bag
  • mortar & pestle
  • small cookie scoop

Ingredients

Units Scale

COOKIE DOUGH

  • 120 grams butter, soft
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 220 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 15 grams freeze-dried raspberries

PASSIONFRUIT GANACHE

  • 200 grams white chocolate
  • 100 grams heavy cream
  • 60 grams passionfruit purée

Instructions

  1. Add soft butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until light and fluffy.

  2. Mix in the egg just until combined. Then, add flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, mixing until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Keep one half in the mixer and set the other aside. Grind the freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder, then mix them into the dough in the mixer. You should now have one pink and one yellow dough.

  4. Scoop equal portions of both doughs using a small cookie scoop. Press the two differently colored balls together, tear them apart in the middle, and press them back together for a marbled look. Shape into round balls, place them on a parchment-lined tray, and refrigerate.

  5. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts forming small bubbles around the edges. Meanwhile, finely chop or grate the white chocolate and place it in a bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 3-4 minutes before stirring until smooth. Mix in the passionfruit purée until fully combined. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until set.

  6. Once the ganache is set, preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Place the chilled cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between them. Bake for 13 minutes, then let them cool on a wire rack.

  7. Once firm, transfer the ganache to a mixing bowl and whip until it reaches a buttercream-like consistency. Fill a piping bag fitted with a nozzle and pipe a swirl of ganache onto the center of each cooled cookie. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries for decoration.

  • Total Time: 60 min
  • Yield: 18 cupcakes 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • cupcake tin
  • cupcake liners
  • two mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • fine mesh strainer
  • piping bag

Ingredients

Units Scale

CUPCAKE BATTER

  • 2 eggs
  • 200 grams white sugar
  • 115 grams butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 235 grams all-purpose flour
  • 120 milliliters full-fat milk
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

PINK DRAGONFRUIT FROSTING

  • 150 grams cream cheese
  • 80 grams butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300 grams powdered sugar
  • 50 grams flesh of a pink dragonfruit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cupcake tin by lining it with cupcake liners. Set it aside. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the eggs and sugar until they come together. Then, add the vanilla extract and softened butter. Mix everything until it’s well combined.
  3. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into another bowl using a fine mesh strainer. Measure the milk. Now, in 4 additions, alternately add the milk and flour mixture to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, mixing after each addition. Don’t overmix, or the batter will become tough.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to portion the batter into the liners. Fill each about 2/3 full so the cupcakes don’t rise over the edges while baking.
  5. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes. They’re done when you insert a toothpick into the center, and it comes out clean, without any batter sticking to it.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Dice the pink dragon fruit and place it in a medium-sized bowl. Add the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend everything into a creamy mixture. If the frosting is too soft to hold its shape, place the bowl in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
  8. Fill a piping bag with the frosting and decorate the cupcakes. Optionally, garnish with a few pieces of dragon fruit.

  • two medium-sized bowls
  • whisk
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula
  • cookie scoop
  • small bowl
  • mortar and pestle

Ingredients

Units Scale

COOKIE DOUGH

  • 120 grams butter
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 220 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 150 grams white chocolate
  • 200 grams fresh blueberries

ICING

  • 1 tbsp freeze-dried blueberries
  • 75 grams powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pot. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is almost dissolved. Next, add the egg and mix everything together. Set aside.
  2. In another medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then set it aside.
  3. On a cutting board, chop the chocolate into pieces. Weigh the blueberries.
  4. Now, add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, along with the chocolate and blueberries. Mix until just combined, with no streaks of flour visible. Don’t overmix. Use a cookie scoop to form 12 equally sized dough balls and place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. If you’re very patient, you can leave them in the fridge for 24 hours—they’ll taste even better!
  5. When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Once the oven is hot, place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet with enough space between them, and bake for 13 minutes. If you prefer thicker cookies, you can use a bowl that’s wider than the cookie to circle around it, shaping the cookie and making it thicker. Let the cookies cool slightly.
  6. Meanwhile, you can prepare the icing. For this, crush the freeze-dried blueberries into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Then, mix 1 tablespoon of this powder with powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle the icing over the cookies in a zigzag pattern, let it set for a few minutes, and then enjoy the cookies.
