Chocolate chilli cheesacake

First thing when I arrived (I really don´t want to mention the duration of my exhausting and dreadful journey...grrr!) to Birmingham, my sister, she told me: "We need to bake something, my housemate is going to celebrate his birthday on Saturday!". So the plan for the rainy Friday morning was settled. Only question was, what should we bake? My sister bought a few packages of fresh full fat cheese, so we decided to bake a cheesecake, chocolate chilli cheesecake (my idea), because everyone who had ever tasted it, felt in love with it! When you are not a big fan of spicy things, just add little bit less chilli than we used. 

First time I did chocolate chilli cheesecake couple years ago I followed recipe on the blog Chez Lucie, but its final form is changed and created by me. So if you want to pleased someone who loves spicy things, this cheesecake is perfect for it!

Sweet millet dumplings with strawberries

When I decided to remove almost all gluten from my meals I was looking for a classic flour replacement. In our organic store I found surprisingly a lot of gluten-free flours, for example millet, buckwheat, chick pea and amaranth. For this recipe I chose millet one, because millet is well known in our family for years. The real advantage of millet flour and hazelnuts is, that if you do these dumplings in advance or if you have leftovers, they won't get as hard as usual wheat dumplings. The other thing I hate about preparing wheat dumplings - dough is sooo sticky. Gluten-free, sticky-free :) And of course, hazelnuts make them much more tastier and unusual!

Coconut and raspberry cheesecake

Finally!
One of my favourites! Coconut cheesecake (read čískejk). This coconut and raspberry dessert with hint of lemon taste is kind of my sudden creation. Here it is kind of summer, well I'm in England so summer more feels like spring, and lots of fresh strawberries and raspberries are on rack in my favourite fruit shop.
