Hello and happy Valentine’s Day! :)
Here’s a last minute recipe for a sweet shake which I recently made for my Valentine’s Day sweet table. It’s a milkshake with coconut and raspberries and it’s sooo delicious!

You need:
– Coconut milk and some normal milk
– Whipped cream
– Vanilla ice cream
– Raffaellos (= German coconut chocolate candy)
– Raspberries (fresh or deeply frozen ones))
– Heart sprinkles

First of all, unfreeze the frozen raspberries. Mash the raffaellos, add coconut milk, some normal milk and vanilla ice cream and mix everything.
Pour it into a jar, then add raspberries, pour a bit of their juice into the jar, put fresh whipped cream on top and decorate your shake with sprinkles.

Enjoy! ;)
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Here’s another recipe which I made for my Valentine’s Day sweet table: those cookies were visually inspired by M&M cookies I saw on Pinterest, but instead of using this recipe, I created my own one. The cookies I made are with M&M, vanilla, white chocolate and coconut rasps, yummy!

What you need:
– 350g flour
– 175g sugar
– 225g soft butter
– 200ml milk
– 1 tea spoon baking powder and half a tea spoon baking natron
– 100g white chocolate
– 200g coconut rasps
– M&Ms
– Fresh vanilla

First of all, chop the white chocolate and put it aside. Preheat the oven on 180° and put baking paper onto the paking pan.

Use the mixer to stirr the butter and the sugar until they are creamy, then add milk, flour, coconut rasps, baking powder and baking natron.

Use a table spoon to get the dough onto thebaking paper. Then take the white chocolate pieces and push them into the dough until they disappear.

The cookies have to bake a total of about 12 to 15 minutes (not longer!) so that they stay soft inside. After about 5 minutes, take them out and turn them to the other side.

Then bake them again for a few minutes and then push the M&Ms inside. Don’t do that at the beginning, because they will melt.

When your cookies are done, use a grid to let them cool down and then enjoy! :)


Mhh, I love those cookies! Flo liked them so much that he ate half of them during the first night, he couldn’t resist! :)
Happy baking!

Hello, my dear blog readers! Are you still looking for a cute homemade idea for Valentine’s Day or for a recipe for your Sunday coffee table? :) I’ve got an awesome recipe for coconut raspberry cupcakes for you, the best cupcakes I ever made so far!! :)
Those cupcakes can me made easily and will surely satisfy your desire for a sweet delicious snack. :)
Two weeks ago, I made a Valentine’s Day sweet table
for my blog and because it’s theme was coconut and raspberry, I made
those cupcakes. I couldn’t wait to finally share the recipe and I hope
you will like them as much as I do – my friends and neighbors loved
them! :)

For 40 cupcakes, you will need:
– 400g flour
– 400g sugar
– 1 package of baking powder, some fresh vanilla and a tea spoon tip of salt
– 120g butter
– 500ml milk
– 4 eggs
– A 150g mixture of Raffaello (German coconut chocolate candy) and coconut rasps
– 100g (deeply frozen) raspberries
– 40 cupcake (paper) tins

For the frosting, you need:
– Butter
– Raspberries
– Powder sugar
– A mixture of Raffaello and coconut rasps
– Raffaellos for decorating the finished cupcakes – A piping bag for spreading the frosting over the cupcakes

The exaxt amount of ingredients for the frosting depends on the consistency you prefer. For 40 cupcakes, I used one package of powder sugar, about 200g butter, a hand full of raspberries and about 10 Raffaellos and 100g of coconut rasps.

First of all, let your frozen raspberries unfreeze or if it’s the season, take fresh ones. :) Then take the Raffaellos, crush them, add the coconut rasps and mix everything. For making the dough, mix all the ingredients listed above. Preheat the oven on 180°.

Take all the 40 baking tins and fill them half (about 50-60%) with the dough. Let them bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes (depends on the kind of oven you have – we have gas, so it’s always difficult to stick to an exact time).

Once your cupcakes are finished, let them cool down a little and prepare the frosting. Once it’s prepared, you can use your piping bag for spreading it all over the cupcakes. In case it turns out too liquid, first put it into the fridge for a while until it’s consistency is better. In the end, you can then decorate the cupcakes and their frosting with some more Raffaellos. :)




Mhhh, these cupcakes taste heavenly! The only bad thing is that they are such sweet sugar-bombs that you will hardly be able to eat more than one at once. :)
Enjoy!

P.S.: These cupcakes aren’t not only great for Valentine’s Day, but they will also perfectly fit onto a summerly sweet table. :)
