Mohn-Pudding-Plunder mit Kirschen
First up, we have this delightful Mohn-Pudding-Plunder mit Kirschen. This traditional German dish consists of a fluffy pastry with a creamy poppy seed pudding filling and juicy cherries. To make this dish, you’ll need:
- 400g puff pastry
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 100g ground poppy seeds
- 300ml milk
- 40g sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 can of cherries (425g)
To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into a rectangle shape. In a bowl, mix together the poppy seeds, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of milk. Heat the remaining milk in a pot and add the poppy seed mixture. Stir well until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture.
Next, spread the poppy seed pudding onto the puff pastry, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Drain the cherries and place them on top of the pudding. Fold the edges of the pastry to create a border. Beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk and brush it onto the pastry. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
Scharfes Paprika Thymian Popcorn
Next up, we have a spicy and flavorful snack that’s perfect for movie nights – Scharfes Paprika Thymian Popcorn. To make this snack, you’ll need:
- 100g popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
Start by heating a large pot with the vegetable oil on high heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot. When the kernels start to pop, lower the heat to medium and shake the pot until the popping slows down. Remove from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, and salt onto the popcorn and toss until evenly coated. Enjoy while still warm!
Marillen-Thymian-Kompott
Finally, we have a sweet and tangy compote that’s perfect for topping off your morning yoghurt or oatmeal – Marillen-Thymian-Kompott. To make this compote, you’ll need:
- 500g apricots
- 50g sugar
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Wash and pit the apricots, then chop into small pieces. In a pot, mix together the chopped apricots, sugar, and thyme. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to thicken. Add the lemon juice and continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until the compote has reached your desired consistency. Remove the thyme sprigs and let the compote cool before using. Enjoy!
Künefe
For those of you with a sweet tooth, I’ve got a Turkish dessert that you won’t be able to resist – Künefe. This cheesy pastry dessert is drizzled with sweet syrup and is sure to satisfy any sugar cravings. To make this dessert, you’ll need:
- 500g shredded phyllo dough
- 200g unsalted butter, melted
- 500g unsalted mozzarella cheese, grated
- 250g sugar
- 500ml water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- pistachios, crushed (optional)
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Brush the bottom and sides of a baking dish with melted butter. In a large bowl, mix the shredded phyllo dough and melted butter until well combined. Press half of the mixture onto the bottom of the baking dish, creating an even layer. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on top of the phyllo dough layer. Cover with the remaining phyllo dough mixture and press down evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the pastry turns golden brown. While the Künefe is baking, make the syrup by mixing together the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a pot. Cook on medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup thickens. When the Künefe is done, remove from the oven and pour the syrup over it. Let it sit for a few minutes before garnishing with crushed pistachios (if using) and serving. Enjoy!

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and thyme leaves. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Grease a baking dish and arrange the plum halves on the bottom, cut-side down. Pour the batter on top of the plums and smooth out the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before flipping it onto a plate. Enjoy!
