DOUBLE LAYERED PISTACHIO + TOASTED MILK + COFFEE TRES LECHES

Tres leches has been a staple in my dessert rotation for many years now. It’s always been there as a unaltered classic but this version takes on a different flavor profile by infusing notes of pistachio, toasted milk and coffee. Ground pistachios and toasted milk powder get folded into the sponge cake to add a bit more flavor and dimension. The milk mixture gets flavored with more toasted milk powder and coffee. The frosting is my favorite part, its a whipped cream cheese folded with pistachio butter. It’s so light and ethereal and could just be eaten on its own because it’s that good!

Fluffy Lemon Verbena Skyr Pancakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze

These fluffy, light as air lemon pancakes were exactly what we needed for a late Sunday breakfast. They are made with creamy lemon skyr which make them ultra-light, delicate and give them that hint of bright zingy lemon, which is perfect to cut through the sweetness. To pair with the lemon pancakes, I made a quick lemon verbena sugar syrup. Lemon verbena or lemon bee brush leaves are citrusy, lemony and have a lovely herbaceous note. If you can find some fresh leaves at your farmers market, I highly recommend that you pick some up!
