Pudding
Toblerone Tiffin
We still have an enormous Toblerone to eat, so here’s another recipe! You can, of course, use whatever chocolate you have available. Also your choice of biscuits will make it unique too. I used what we had in the cupboard, along with dried fruits too. Toblerone Tiffin 125g Toblerone, chopped 125g biscuits, crushed (I used … Continue reading
Toblerone Mousse Pots
This recipe came about as we have a huge Toblerone, I mean really HUGE! But as this is during COVID-19 lockdown, limited other food resources. The buttery biscuit base is optional, we had biscuits so felt the need to use them. Other biscuits would be great too, shortbread, amaretti, Hobnobs etc. The pots I used here … Continue reading
Homemade Daim Ice Cream
I love a Daim bar, I don’t eat chocolate that often but when I do it has to be a favourite. I decided to make some ice cream with a couple of the bars from a 3 pack I’d recently bought. It’s deliciously sweet, creamy and with bits of Daim, what’s not to love? The … Continue reading
Bakewell Puddings Old Style
They may not look pretty but they taste great! Combining the flavours of the Bakewell Tart we know with the look and texture of a custard tart. They are my take on the original Bakewell Pudding, from Derbyshire and still being made in vast quantities there. I decided individual puddings were how I wanted to … Continue reading
Pookies, Apple Pie Cookies
We recently had a wonderful couple of nights away, we stayed in a lovely B&B and when we left they gave us loads of Bramley cooking apples. I’ve made a few things with them and shared them with friends too. Then I decided I would make a cookie that was like a pie and here’s … Continue reading
Daim Mousse Shots
I had an idea this would be rather fabulous if it worked……and it did! I wasn’t convinced the Daim (well they used to be Dime in the UK back in the day, apparently that changed in 2005!) would melt, of course the chocolate bit would but would the crunchy toffee bit? Well the answer is … Continue reading
Easy Banoffee Pavlova
An easy pudding to satisfy that sweet tooth! I usually have a can or jar of caramel in the cupboard as well as double cream in the fridge and having chickens means eggs are always on hand too. Perfect, add bananas and we’re on our way! 🙂 Banoffee Pavlova (print) Ingredients Meringue 3 egg whites (at … Continue reading
Snowy Pie
I recently made a Mississippi Mud Pie for a magazine commission, it was total heaven on a plate (if a little calorific!!!) I decided a white chocolate version would be worth a try, let’s just say it was! Print recipe Snowy Pie Biscuit base 150g digestive biscuits, crushed (Grahams crackers) 150g custard creams biscuits, crushed 125g … Continue reading
Amaretto and Dark Chocolate Baked Cheesecake
I love cheesecake, baked or no bake, all flavours, whether it’s fruity or sweet and spicy! I reckoned an Amaretto flavour (a sweet, almond-flavoured, Italian liqueur) would work well, so decided to pair it with dark chocolate too. With amaretti biscuits in the base and a sticky toffee sauce this was lush! The filling was so … Continue reading
Nectarine & Amaretto Sorbet
Some things just remind you of summer and care free times, or may be it’s just the alcohol in this that does it! This bottle of Amaretto was brought on our first wedding anniversary in Sorrento, total bliss and after several (!) years we still haven’t drunk it all, quite amazing really! We just happened … Continue reading
