Givre
Givre is a type of chocolate that has been made in France since 1930. It is also known as “green” or “black” chocolate since the color comes from the addition of a small amount of green food coloring to the mixture. Givre tends to be softer and less bitter than other chocolates, and it’s easy to enjoy by itself or with things like fruit and nuts.
Galette
A galette is a rustic pastry that can contain any number of fillings. Some popular choices include apples, blueberries, raspberries and more. The pastry is a free form style dough that is made in the shape of a circle or rectangle. It’s not as thick as your standard pie crust. The edges tend to be crimped and can be covered with foil to keep them from burning during cooking. I love to make them ahead because they’re a bit time-consuming and need some time to cool. they are too good to not try!
Ginger Cookies
These cookies are a healthy snack for when you need something sweet and you’re on the go. They are also the perfect cure for a case of the munchies! The ginger and honey make them especially wonderful.I like to use one of my appetizers as the base. These Ginger cookies are a special treat for when you want to bring something with you to a party or just to survive an afternoon spent in the kitchen.
Ganache
Ganache is a mixture of cream and chocolate that is used to top desserts like cakes, pastries, and candies.When the right proportions of cream and chocolate are combined, they form a thick, gooey texture that is perfect for topping treats. It can be used at almost any time of year because the taste doesn’t change much with the season.
Grape Sorbet
Grape Sorbet is a potent flavor that is best paired with a sweet, mild dessert. It is very easy to make and the perfect spoonful of fun to enjoy with ice cream after dinner!Grapes are one of those fruits that are great for bakers because they make the best fruit purees. Plus, they’re incredibly flavorful, which makes them a great choice as the main ingredient. My favorite pairing is in desserts, like this Grape Sorbet!
Gingerbread Cake
If you’re looking for a spiced-up twist on a classic, this Gingerbread Cake fits the bill. It is made with maple syrup instead of molasses, and the texture is delicate and moist without being dense.I love that it uses applesauce in place of some of the oil or butter. It makes it so much healthier and still gives it a great flavor. You might have to fight your family for the last piece! i always have it on hand for those holiday parties when you need a recipe to serve in a pinch.
Guava Empanadas
These are delicious! I love guava on its own, but it’s even better with little pastries filled with the guava. These are great as appetizers or dessert.I tried it for the first time at a restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico. The combination of guava and sweet cheese was so good that I had to buy some empanadas and test the recipe.
Gumdrops
These are my favorite gumdrops! They have a hint of almond, and a soft chewy texture. They’re perfect for any occasion, but especially for Christmas!Gumdrops are one of the most popular candies in the world and can be found all over the world. They are made from sugar and gumdrops mixed with marshmallow. Some recipes also add more sugar or drop them into hot syrup to create different flavors of gumdrop candy.
Greek Yogurt Coffee Cake
The secret to Greek yogurt is that it’s perfectly tangy from the live cultures. It takes the cake in this coffee cake up a notch and adds a lot of flavor.It is one of the easiest cakes in the world to make. It comes out of the oven looking like it did when you put it in and is moist and delicious without being overly sweet or filled with calories.
Genoa Cake
This is a less-sweet cake that is perfect for Christmas because it has an amazing flavor. It’s a genoa cake with dried fruits, ginger, and rum.Genoa is a city in Italy that has been famous for its baked goods for hundreds of years. The Genoa Cakes are often filled with almonds, candied fruits, and spices like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. It is my fist try recipe for this season in Christmas.
Gingerbread Fudge
Fudge is one of the best treats you can make for a special occasion. This Gingerbread Fudge is sure to be a hit! It’s so delicious with just the right amount of gingery bite!This fudge tastes best when it is eaten within a few days and kept at room temperature, but it can be frozen if you don’t think you’ll have time to eat it. Just make sure to wrap it well in wax paper, then foil and store in an airtight container. They are a ready to eat treat, that can be eaten right out of the pan or frozen.
Greek Yogurt Sugar Cookies
These cookies are the perfect base for Greek yogurt. They have a soft slightly chewy texture, and they don’t get soggy at all. The combination of these three main ingredients is amazing!The Greek yogurt cookies are so good that everyone in my family loves them. They’re great for parties and just to have around the house because you can make a bunch and store them in an airtight container for up to five days before eating them.
Genoise
A genoise is a type of sponge cake that has an almond-shaped bottom, like the top of a pie. Genoise is a very thin layer cake that is often filled with nuts like hazelnuts and dried fruits.Genoise is made to have small air pockets throughout, so it’s much lighter and fluffier than your regular layer cake. It will literally melt in your mouth as you eat it. You can also use any other fruit or nuts you desire on top of the cream cheese filling!
German chocolate cake
German chocolate cake was introduced by the German baker Mrs. George Clay, who called it the best cake she ever made. Since 1961, it has been one of the most popular recipes in American and has won various accolades.The recipe is most famous for its brown and white icing, which is a rich but lighter version of frosting compared to buttercream. I like the German chocolate cake because it has a texture and is easy to make. I often bake it for dinner parties.
Gingerbread house
Gingerbread houses are a classic holiday treat! These houses are sweet with a hint of spiciness that’s enhanced with the nutmeg and ginger. This is one of my favorite holiday treats from my childhood.I often make a gingerbread house with my family. It is such a fun project to do with your family. Plus, you get to eat it at the end!
Gugelhupf
This is a rich German cake with a light texture. It is very much like a cross between a sweet shortbread and a sponge cake. In Germany it’s called Gugelhupf, which actually means “ball o’ dough.” It has raisins in the dough, which give it its characteristic look and flavor—but it can be prepared without them.The name of this cake also says something about its appearance: The “guggle” part refers to the shape of the holes that form when you make the dough too stiff while rolling out or kneading it. It may sound difficult to accomplish, but these holes are easy to make using an old-fashioned rolling pin.
Gajak
Gajak is a sweet curry made in India. It is often filled with fruit, nuts and spices and then deep fried or toasted. I love gajak because it’s so good. So you have to try it!It has a very simple preparation that makes it easy to enjoy any time of the year. It can be prepared ahead of time, frozen and then deep-fried when you’re ready for it.
Gaz
This is a traditional Turkish dessert made of fine rice noodles boiled in a sugar syrup. It’s very sweet, but the noodles are chewy and there is no fruit in it.I tried it for the first time in Turkey and I loved it. It’s a very sweet dessert, but it’s also nice because there is not an overpowering sweetness.
Guyuria
This is a rich and light cake with a dessous of almond paste, nuts and butter frosted with white chocolate. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion!I love Guyuria because it has this rich taste without being too sweet. It’s a pleasant surprise when you bite into the cake and it tastes so good. I have tried this once and I think it’s amazing!
Gelato
Gelato is a type of ice cream that is made differently from the way American-style ice cream is made. It’s known for being more dense in flavor, and sometimes even smooth in texture. Gelato is served more often at higher temperatures than ice cream, which creates a different consistency.My family loves gelato! And it’s really popular in Italy. We have counters all around the village where we buy gelato. Its a super sweet treat to enjoy and cherrish.
Granita
Granita is a type of Italian ice. It has been around since the 18th century and was first created in the city of Sorrento. Granita is made by freezing water sweetened with sugar or syrup, or other natural flavorings such as kumquat, lemon, or vanilla.It tastes best when eaten immediately after being made. It is also called granita di sorbetto, which means sorbet in Italian. I love it very much because it is so sweet and good!
Green Tea Ice Cream
Green tea ice cream is a very popular dessert in Japan. It’s made by freezing green tea in such a way as to create a soft and creamy texture.I like green tea ice cream because it’s so refreshing and light. I love the combination of green tea, vanilla and honey.
Golden Oreo Truffles
These are a classic truffle—just like regular Oreos, but flavored with white chocolate and toasted coconut. The gilding is just for decoration. The Oreo texture is the same as regular Oreos, but these are sweeter and moist.My kids love these because they get all the flavors of an Oreo without the middle part. And I love them because they are very easy to make.
Grasshopper Pie
This is a pie that got its name from a book called Grasshopper Pie, written by Robert Hughes. It is one of the most popular pies in the desert Southwest and among immigrants moving to America.It’s a kind of pie that’s also known as “roach pie,” because grasshoppers will often come into houses and get stuck on the roof overhangs. So it’s always part of breakfast in the Southwestern United States.
