Breakfast is my favorite meal, although it hasn’t always been that way. It took me a while to get used to having breakfast in the morning, and one of the things that have helped me the most has been preparing sweet and healthy recipes.
These cocoa and pear pancakes, for example, are a real vice.
It is one of my favorite breakfasts because it is delicious and delicate as a dessert, it is prepared in just 10 minutes, and it is vegetarian and gluten-free, which is perfect for everyone.
To prepare this wonder, you only need a few easy-to-find ingredients and a good non-stick pan.

Chocolate pancake with pears

Customize your pancakes

I usually eat these pancakes with blueberries on top, but you can give them your personal touch by choosing the fruit you prefer. Raspberries, kiwis, cherries, strawberries, mango, and even tangerines look great. Go ahead and try new combinations.

Cacao is one of the oldest foods in the world, in fact  4,000 years ago people like the Maya and the Aztecs used it. These populations mixed it with water, honey and spices, giving life to a strong drink that offered a lot of energy. When cacao arrived in Europe, foods like milk, sugar and butter were added.

Still today I would like to propose a simple recipe, inspired by the cacao drink that the Mayans took. In addition, to turn it into a complete snack my recipe carries egg whites.

It is a really delicious recipe, with an original spicy touch due to the chilli pepper.

I wait for your opinions 🙂

Coconut is the most famous tropical fruit in the world and one of the most cultivated. From this fruit, different ingredients are obtained, such as coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut flour, grated coconut …

Coconut is a fresh, tasty and very versatile fruit; In fact, it is very easy to use it for cooking, to make cakes, ice cream or shakes or for salty preparations. Personally, coconut milk and coconut oil are two of my favorite cooking ingredients and both are full of healthy fats; In addition, coconut oil is one of the best choices when it comes to frying as it resists very well at high temperatures.

The recipe that I propose today is very simple and brings several ingredients derived from the coconut, we will see:

The custard is a fairly simple sweet and very diffuse, it is prepared with egg yolks, milk or cream, and sugar; each culture has a different variation of this dish and even a different name, in Italy is called Crema pasticcera in Spain Is called Natilla, in France is called Crème anglaise…  It is not entirely clear the origin of this dish, although one of the most diffuse theories is that it was born in a monastery in central Europe.

The version I present today is much lighter than the classic custard and very original. The consistency of the custard with the fresh taste of ACE makes this dessert unique. It is a perfect choice for both breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
