Malteser Truffles
I decided to make something sweet for Father’s Day and these popped in my mind as worth experimenting with. It took 3 goes to get the consistency right, the first 2 being too soft, they make a fantastic sauce for ice cream when warmed through, so no waste there then! The milk chocolate I used … Continue reading
Chocolate Carrot Cupcakes
I really like carrot cake and I like chocolate so to combine the two has to be a win win! I made these in cupcake cases then remembered I had the little silicon plant pots which suit them perfectly! My lovely daughter made the carrots and actually didn’t scoff all the marzipan for a change! … 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!

With amaretti biscuits in the base and a sticky toffee sauce this was lush! The filling was so … Continue reading
Lamington Biscuits

I used coconut, toasted coconut and crushed amaretti biscuits for toppings, … Continue reading
Vanilla, chocolate and Peanut Butter Marble Cake
I love marble cake, so easy to make and even easier to eat! I haven’t made it for ages though and thought I’d have a go making one with an extra flavour element to it. Vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter go so well together, not one flavour over powers the other and this is the … Continue reading

My family are not over keen on lemon flavour but Gav is always a willing volunteer and actually really liked them, I didn’t … Continue reading
