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

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
