1. Homemade chocolate pralines

Have you ever thought of making pralines at home? Don''t be intimidated, with a little effort you can make them even if you''re not the most skilled in the kitchen.

Handmade chocolate pralines with different fillings such as caramel, berries or liqueur are an elegant and personal choice.

If you decide not to experiment in the kitchen this time, BAM has a selection of four handmade pralines that are sure to please every woman in your life.

2. Macaroons with BAM chocolate hazelnut spread

Macaroons are a French dessert made with simple ingredients, but to make them perfect, you need to follow complicated instructions and have some pastry experience.

Nevertheless, they are worth the effort. You can make it easier with the BAM macaron mix, which creates a docile dough that always succeeds. The macaron mix takes away the fear and trepidation that any pastry chef or confectioner is almost certain to feel before making macarons.

3. Tiramisu in a jar

Tiramisu in a jar is a sophisticated yet simple dessert that enchants with its combination of creamy mascarpone custard, aromatic coffee and a delicate touch of cocoa.

Start by making a strong coffee, to which a little liqueur can be added for extra flavour, then chill. In a large bowl, whisk the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks and then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture. Quickly dip the savoiardi biscuits in the cooled coffee and line the bottom of the clear glasses with them. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream on top of the biscuits, repeating the layering process until the top of the jar is covered. Finish the tiramisu in the jar with a layer of cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder for a rich finishing touch.

Before serving, place the dessert in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavours to meld and the cream to set, ensuring a perfect balance of textures and flavours in every bite.

4. Pina Colada Cheesecake

Pina Colada Cheesecake is an exceptional dessert that conjures up the essence of a tropical paradise with its irresistible combination of pineapple, coconut and rum, ideal for pampering and celebrating Women''s Day.

With its rich and creamy textures, this dessert brings a touch of summer freshness and exoticism, making it the perfect choice for this special day. Surrounded by delicate flavours that evoke a feeling of relaxation and contentment, the Pina Colada cheesecake takes everyday moments to the heights of festive joy.

Serve it as a central treat to honour the special women in your life on Women''s Day.

5. Mini pavlova cakes

Pavlova is a classic cake that originated in Australia. It''s a cake that will delight even the most discerning of gourmets. It consists of a crisp egg white crust, a soft centre, whipped cream and lots of fresh berries.

It requires a bit of care and more preparation time, as the baking temperature must be lower if it is to remain snow-white. Prepare portion cakes, decorate them as desired and wrap them in cute little parcels. You know, home-made gifts are the most precious.

Each of these desserts can be a wonderful gift or a sweet end to your Women''s Day celebrations. Choose one or combine several options to create a sweet menu that is sure to impress.
