Banoffee pie!

This week Dimitra shares her favorite summer dessert. Banana and toffee make a dreamy combination! Here is a super easy recipe for a fresh banana pie.

Ingredients:

½ pack of butter cookies (or digestive)

3 tbs butter

1 can of sugared milk

2-3 bananas

4 tbs sugar 

1 pack of cream

How to:

1. Crash the cookies and mix them with the melted butter. But the mix on your serving plate to create the base.

2. Put the closed can of sugared milk to boil in low temperature for three hours. The sugared milk will become a thick caramel cream. (You can store the can for a month before opening it)

Put the caramel cream on top of the cookie base on your serving plate.

3. Slice up the bananas and put them in the serving plate.

4. Whip the cream with the sugar. You can add more sugar if you want it sweeter. But don't forget that the caramel cream adds a great amount of sweetness to your cake. Cover the tart with the whipped cream and your dessert is ready.

ENJOY!!

Keep it in the fridge. The bananas will start getting dark after 1 day, but they are still eatable.

DIY summer bag

Summer arrived early in Finland this year. April was sunny, May was a bit sunny....but now the end of June is all cloudy and gloomy. But don't loose hope, summer will come back soon.

Until then, we all need some splash of  color and summer fun. 

What's more summery than watermelons?!

Here is a super easy and super cute tote bag for all the picnics and trips to the lake. 

Here you can see Dimitra's cute video:

Materials:

Cotton fabric tote bag

fabric paints
potato stamp
paint brush
toothpick


- Put a newspaper inside the bag. You don't want to paint to go through and color the other side. You also prevent getting your table dirty.
- Cut the potato in a half-moon shape. Apply red color and stamp the fabric with it.
- With a thin brush paint the green line for the peel of the watermelon.
- Use a toothpick to add the black seeds.
- Let it dry. After ~30mins check that the newspaper is not stuck to the painted side of the fabric.
- In 1-2 hours remove the newspaper. Let the bag dry overnight.
- Iron it in high temperature (the setting of 3 dots on your iron) or according to the fabric's instructions.
