Natillas are one of those desserts we absolutely must know how to make. They are very easy and quick to prepare and have nothing to do with the ones you can find in the supermarket.

A few days ago we mentioned that making pastry cream is very easy. If you already have your pastry cream ready, you’ll surely devour it by the spoonful if you’re as much a fan of it as I am. But there are other options! Today I’m sharing some ideas and recipes for using pastry cream:

Today I bring you a staple, an essential. If you've never dared to make pastry cream at home, you should know that you don't need a food processor, not even an electric mixer, and certainly no magical powers. Making pastry cream is one of the easiest things there is. Believe me! It's easy and quick, so I strongly encourage you to make it one day if you haven't tried it yet. You'll see I'm not lying and I guarantee you'll make it again.

We are very used to seeing sweet tarte tatins (apple, peach, pear...), but there are savory tarte tatin recipes that you will love! Like this cherry tomato and cheese one brought to us by Leti, author of Revelando Sabores. Don’t fail to make it because it will sort out a dinner and leave you wanting more!

We bring you a recipe you won't be able to resist: a chocolate brownie recipe with coconut oil, an explosive combination. If the brownie has always been one of those desserts you can't resist sinking your teeth into, this recipe, with a touch of coconut, will win your heart! Brought to you by Rosa, from Pemberley Cup&Cakes—go get it!

You can start taking out the milk and eggs, because today you're going to make crème brûlée! You'll see how delicious and delicate this classic French burnt cream turns out. Carmen, author of Tía Alia Recetas, gives you the recipe so it turns out great!

Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, brings us a delicious dessert to make this Christmas the sweetest! This whipped cream and cream cheese pavlova with red berries is a perfect option to surprise your loved ones this upcoming holiday season.

It's well known that lemon curd and meringue are a perfectly spot-on combination. Patri, author of Sabores y Momentos, had that in mind when preparing some lemon curd and meringue cupcakes, and the result was spectacular. Don't miss it!

Today I'll make your mouth water, because I want to talk to you about making waffles! I'm convinced that most of you have tried them at least once, since they're a temptation wherever you see them. Today you'll see how easy it is to make them at home (although it's true you need the right utensil), and be inspired to pair them with the most tempting ingredients.

I invite you to make ricotta at home! It's super easy and the result is spectacular. You'll see—let Loreto (from Sabores de Colores) guide you: with only 3 ingredients that you surely have at home you'll get a delicious homemade ricotta.

When Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, told me she wanted to make the Pastel Vasco recipe for our blog I didn’t hesitate to tell her "Go ahead!", because it’s one of my favorite cakes. That delicious dough filled with custard has always delighted me! She presents it with a double filling: figs and pastry cream, a luxurious combination in a cake you’ll surely love to make at home, you’ll see!

On one hand there are ice creams and on the other homemade ice creams. The difference can be huge, especially if you follow recipes as delicious as the one Eva, author of Bake-Street, brings us today: this roasted pumpkin ice cream with hazelnuts is a true temptation, and it’s also quite curious, since few will guess from its flavor that it’s made from roasted pumpkin. Try it, trust me!
