That sounds like a simple but tasty dessert! I had to google "vanilla fromage frais". We have "smooth cottage cheese" here that I am sure can be doctored with some vanilla to get about the same product. Thanks for posting.
@JohnT I think it should be ok however this cottage cheese should not be too dense

Today I would like to share with you the recipe which is very simple and where the main ingredients are just apples. All cakes with apples I know involve cutting and stewing the apples. Here not. For this cake you should add pieces of fresh and fragrant fruit cut in half. This time the recipe for this cake is not mine - it comes from the Polish page http://moniamieszaigotuje.blogspot.com.
Ingredients:
dough:
6 apples
280g of flour
200g of butter
1.5 tablespoons of caster sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar
1.5 teaspoons of baking powder
1 egg
125g of vanilla fromage frails
icing:
1 tablespoon of 18% cream
120g of caster sugar
Heat the oven up to 180C.
Peel the apples, cut them in half and remove the cores. Mix together the dry ingredients: the flour, caster sugar, vanilla sugar, and baking powder. Add the egg, vanilla fromage frais and butter. Knead the dough. Divide it in half. Cover a baking pan with one of the halves. Arrange the apples on top of it. Roll out the rest of the dough and cover the apples with it. Bake for 40 minutes. Make the icing with the cream and caster sugar. Cover the baked hot cake with it. Leave to cool down.

Today I have a recipe for those who would like to eat something more sophisticated than pieces of sausage on a stick, caught on the fly from the fridge (I do it myself sometimes), and who don't have enough time for shopping and cooking. Wholemeal pasta with courgette and goat cheese - the basis of my dish could be groats, rice or pasta. I chose wholemeal penne. Grilled courgette, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes and black olives meant that the dish almost jumped onto the fork by itself. Even my children appreciated it.
Ingredients (for 4 people):
200g of wholemeal penne
2 small courgettes (about 500g)
100g of goat cheese with herbs for salads
16 cherry tomatoes
12 olives
4 sprigs of rosemary
3 tablespoons of oil
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of olive oil with chili pepper
half a clove of garlic
salt and pepper

Today the "Spring cream of spinach and garlic soup". The dish looks extremely spring-like and decorative. Maybe it sounds trivial, but you should remember to clean the spinach thoroughly and remove the thick, hard stems. Grinding sand and unblended grains effectively ruin the tasty effect of the soup.
Ingredients:
400g of spinach
3 cloves of garlic
half an onion
2 potatoes
1l of vegetable stock
1 tablespoon of butter
100ml of 18% sweet cream
4 eggsthe whole recipe is here

These might be among others red or white borsht with sausage and eggs, different dishes from eggs, different meats, pate and vegetable salad. An example are Red Eggs posted by me yesterday in Dinner 2017 (part 3)

I love the name 'strawberry mess'! I might have to make that just so I can say we're having a strawberry mess.
Believe me @Smithy that doing that together with kids (what I do pretty often) you may create a real mess in the kitchen

That's challenging while we do not have in Poland one special Polish dessert. We have rather few unique cakes. For Easter we prepare Mazurek, for Christmas these are Cheesecake, Poppy seed cake (which I have already posted here on eGullet Forum few days ago). We have charlotte (sometimes called apple pie). For few of them I have the recipes on my blog. While we have many season fruits (strawberries, apples, plums) in Poland we use them to prepare cakes and desserts. Below you will find pictures and links for these which I had prepared for my family. There are as many variations of them as you have house wifes in Poland:

Had a fairly heavy (but not very good) lunch, so I wasn't that hungry tonight.
But there's always room for Spaghetti Alle Vongole.
Garlic, chilli, clams, wine (Sauv Blanc) and spaghetti. S&P. Simple. Divine.
It looks amazing - I will use a first opportunity to do something similar

Those are very pretty! I don't think I've seen basil paired with chocolate or raspberry before. Is it just for looks, or do the flavors play well together?
Basil is mainly for the presentation however........ my husband ate everything

@JohnT it is always difficult to assess properly all these products while they have very often a different structure in all countries, but I would take a risk and answer "yes" in this case
