Good morning you all,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
who doesn´t love a cup of hot chocolate am I right??
There is almost nothing better for the cold and frosty Christmas/winter time than a hot cup of cocoa with a little whip of heavy cream, marshmallows and some colorful sprinkles (definitely no diet drink). 

I for myself love a big cup of white hot chocolate over a dark at any time. So for our hot chocolate at home we don´t use powder, we melt real chocolate chips and stir them into hot milk. Afterwards you can add whatever you like.

Ingredients:
– white chocolate chips (I get them in small batches from amazon)
– oat milk (you can use any milk you like)

– heavy cream
– mini marshmallows
– Christmas sprinkles

Enjoying your hot chocolate at home just screams something so cozy and comfortable. I wish I could do this everyday but work and calories cross my way. But why not invite your bestie to a cup of hot chocolate and a cheesy Christmas movie. This would be such a nice gesture and also a lot of fun.

Since I have found this Anthropologie mug with my monogram during our London trip last year I have used it quite over a hundred times. This is the perfect addition to your cupboard to have coffee, tea or hot chocolate with. That is why I am giving away one Anthropologie mug to one happy reader. Since mine isn´t available anymore I am giving away one of these beautiful tile inspired mugs with your personal monogram. 

Be sure to enter the giveaway below and also add which monogram you would like to have.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck.

The most hyped Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Internet right now…

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung-Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I know that there are trends in every section of the internet whether it is beauty, home decor or fashion but the latest and most written trend I have seen in the last two weeks was about these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. A bunch full of bloggers recreated the recipe and shared it on their blog and that made me curious and as a lover of cookies and everything pumpkin I had to try it. You can find the original recipe here.

I didn´t change a single ingredient cause I was to excited how these would taste and guys they are delicious. To be honest they don´t have the usual cookie consistency. The dough is more like from a cake in the end. So I wouldn´t take away a few minutes from their baking time cause they stay soft. 

But that doesn´t hurt at all does it?! I made the second batch only three days after and we still love them. Even my mom eats them and she isn´t a friend of either sugar or pumpkin.

So maybe I could give you an impetus to make a batch of delicious cookies for your weekend treat. They are seriously so so good.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – our favorite awesome pumpkin pie recipe….

Keine Kommentare

….
Happy Friday guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I am sharing my most loved (by myself and Florian, my mom somehow hates the consistency and the taste – guess she is not fall fan after all) recipe on my blog today. This pumpkin pie has been my go-to pie for nearly every fall and winter ocassion and I just adore it and it is so simple.

And even simpler if you are in any area where you can get pumpkin puree in a can. Unless you don´t have one like me you have to make it by yourself.

So here is what you need:

For the pastry:
– 250 gr. of flour
– 75 gr. of white sugar
– 125 gr. butter (softened)
– 1 egg
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

I put all the ingredients in the mixer and wait unitl it look dry, then I pour the dough onto the countertop and kned it until it is one big and nice ball

After that I try to roll it out as flat as possible and then I put it into the pie form spreading it as far in every corner as possible so that you can go up the edge for a nice border of your cake

Now I set it aside and make the filling.

For the filling you´ll need:
– 350 gr. of pumpkin puree
– 150 gr. of brown sugar
– 3 teaspoons of pumpkin spice mix
– 3 eggs 
– 200 gr. of sour cream (you can also use heavy cream but this changes the consistency of your filling since it isn´t as thick as sour cream)
– I cute the pumpkin into small pieces and let it bake in the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes until it is soft enough to be removed from the peel by a spoon 
– then I puree the pumpkin with a half cup of water 
– mix the other ingredients of your filling into the bowl with your pumpkin puree and stir until you have one evenly batter
– pour it into your pie form with the pastry
– bake for 45 minutes at 180 ° (350 Fahrenheit)
I already made it about three times this fall and I am going to make it as one of the two Thanksgiving desserts. 
So delicious you guys. Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and just enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies…

Keine Kommentare


 ….

Good morning guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung- Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am no lover of sweets in general but there are a few sweet treats I make an exception for and chocolate chip cookies are definitely one of them. But let´s make sure they are the right ones. I don´t like crunchy at all, so I am always going for soft and chewy cookies.

Another thing I love about cookies is the versatility. You can make them with seasonal ingredients, with the classics or plain. In the end it is always the same precidure and tastes perfectly good either way.

So here is what you need for a baking sheet full of delicious cookies which ake your house smell like you are living in a bakery.

Ingredients:
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla paste
– 1 1/2 cups flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 2 teaspoons cornstarch
– pinch of salt
– 1 cup chocolate chip cookies (optional as you like)

How-To:
– melt the butter in the microwave
– add the egg, sugar and vanilla paste and whisk together
– add flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt and stir togethher
– add the chocolate chips
– portion on a plate (I use and ice cream scoop)
– put in the freezer for about 30 to 40 minutes
– preheat the oven to 175° 
– put cookie dough onto a baking tray cover with a baking sheet (about 9 per each)
– bake for 12 minutes – I only bake them for 9 minutes to make sure that they are slightly undercooked

I only let them bake for the 9 minutes cause I like them supersoft. Don´t be fooled by the consistency. They will get a lot more solid when they cool down.

Personally I love a cup of coffee with my cookie or nothing. Florian for example eats his with a glass of milk.

Do you love the classic chocolate chip cookie or do you have a special ingredient you can´t renounce.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

And make sure you have entered my giveaway. It is your last chance today.
