Awesome lemon pie!

I've made this pie a couple of times, and it is gooooood! :)
That's why I want to share the recipe with you guys!

the lemon pie from the original recipe

You need:
- frozen puff pastry enough to cover the spring cake tin (in the Netherlands it'll be from Koopmans and you'll need 6 sheets), defrosted
- 1 egg, whisked
- 125 gram sugar + 1 tablespoon for the bottom of the cake tin
- 4 sheets of gelatine (Dr. Oetker)
- 4 lemons, rubbed clean
- 1 cup of heavy cream (250 ml, 'slagroom' for Dutchies)
- 1 cup of mascarpone (250 gram)
- 40 gram of pine seeds
- spring cake tin of 28 cm cross-cut, greased

1. Preheat the oven on 180 degrees Celcius. Arrange the pastry onto the cake tin, prick holes in it en bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Then take it out of the oven, cover with the egg, sprinkle with the sugar en bake for 2 more minutes.

2. Soak the gelatine in cold water for at least 5 minutes. Grate the yellow skin of 1 lemon and squeeze this lemon and 2 more lemons. Heat the juice in a pan and let the rest of the sugar dissolve in the juice. Take the pan of the stove. Squeeze out the gelatine and put it in the pan. Let it cool down.

3. Whisk the cream until it's a bit thicker than yoghurt. Stir the mascarpone loose. Put the lemon grinds, the lemon syrup and the cream together with the mascarpone. Cover the bottom with this mixture. Let it  curdle in the fridge for 2 hours.

4. Roast the pine seeds for 2 minutes in a frying pan (no oil!). Let them cool down. Cut the last lemon into slices and put it on the pie together with the pine seeds (see picture above).

The recipe is supposed to be dessert for 8 persons. It takes about 40 minutes of real work, 40 minutes of oventime and 2 hours of waitingtime.


Just try it, it's easy and tastes real good!

my lemon pie!

I had some blueberries on my fruitbowl when I made this pie, so I just added them on top. I think it looks nice, and they go very well with the pie aswell.


Wow... translating the recipe was quite hard. If you read it and you see mistakes, please let me know.
Hope you enjoy your lemon pie!!

Low fat banana bread!

I discovered this banana bread via Pinterest. I tasted this bread from Manon, and it was delicious! So I decided to make it myself too, to take it to the Swan Market! (you can see it on the photo in the previous post)

I used a recipe from the Viva-forum.

125 gr whole wheat flour
125 gr oatmeal
75 gr soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
tiny bit of salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
150 ml buttermilk
2 big eggs
3 big ripe bananas
I also put some walnuts and raisins in the bread.You need a pastry mold of 26 x 12 x 8 cm (volume 750 gr).

1. Start mixing the oatmeal with the buttermilk in a big bowl. Leave this soaking for about an hour.
2. In another bowl mix the other dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon). Grease the pastry mold wit a bit of olive oil. Put a little bit of oatmeal on the surface and the sides. Preheat the oven on 180°C.
3. Put the bananas with de soaked oatmeal and mash it with a fork. Then add the eggs, the nuts and the raisins.
4. Add the dry ingredients. Mix it quickly and put it in the greased mold. You should do this fast, because when you put these two together, the bread will start rising.
5. Cover the mold with aluminium foil, make sure there's enough space for the bread to rise.
6. Put the mold in the preheated oven straight away, and let it bake for 45 minutes. Take away the foil after 15 minutes.
7. The bread is ready if you prick a skewer in it which comes out clean.
8. Leave the bread to cool down for 10 minutes in the mold, then take it out to cool further down. Leave it for an hour or so, before cutting and eating it (I didn't to this ;))

Instead of a bread, you can also make muffins out of this dough. The bread is not very sweet, and not very moist. It's great for breakfast, or with a cup of tea!

Enjoy!
