Aperol Spritz Sorbet

We are having quite the heat wave in Germany right now. So, instead of tea I like to spend the afternoon with one of my favorite summer drinks, the Aperol Spritz. I love the flavors of sweet oranges, bitter Aperol and sparkling prosecco and wanted to put them together into a fruity sorbet. The sorbet turned out really refreshing with just a hint of bitter. A perfect snack for a hot summer day!

Strawberry-Almond Tartlets with Sour-Cream and Chocolate Topping

I hope you are having a great summer weekend. I have the perfect treat for a lazy sunny afternoon for you today. Strawberries, chocolate and cream - all combined in some wonderful tartlets. The tartlet shells contain both ground almonds and chopped almonds, and can be prepared in advance. The topping uses both heavy cream and sour cream, which gives it a nice tang. Enjoy!
