Project Type: dessert
Pear Charlotte
I was told that by the other half that this is one of the best desserts I have ever made and it takes a lot less effort that a lot of things I have tried! It is really simple and also cheap but will definitely impress at a dinner party. If you don’t like pears, …
Dark Chocolate and Cardamon Tart
I have recently bought a book about flavour – it’s like a bible for what goes together, and straight away I picked up on chocolate and cardamon as I really like the taste of cardamon in a dessert. I’d say this one is an aquired taste though so if you don’t like dark bitter choolate …
Espresso Martini Pannacotta.
Is it a dessert? Is it a coffee? is it a cocktail? No, Its all three rolled into one! I am a big fan of an espresso martini and often substitute a dessert for one in restaurants, but at my little dinner party for 2 this weekend I didn’t have to compromise. I don’t cope …
Amaretti biscuit ice cream.
I live with ice cream fiends so we have a good ice cream maker but don’t use it as much as we should. I spotted this recipe this week and knew that I had to give it a go. I think I will make this again at Christmas and serve with a shot of amaretto as …
Giant Jaffa Cake!
I had a chocolate orange cake on the blog and I have been thinking for a while if I could somehow make it like a big jaffa cake… I had an experiment this week and it works!! Think this is one of the trickiest inventions I have done especially as cake making can go …
Pannetone Pudding with Chocolate
If like me you get Panettone because it is considered Christmasy but have no idea what to do with it then this is the recipe for you!!! Although maybe not if you are on the January health kick. One of the easiest desserts I have ever made too and very rich and filling. Perfect for …
Baileys and Amaretto Tiramisu
I have made this dessert for a family Xmas party but its not been eaten yet so the jury is still out on this one! I saw this in one of my magazines and thought I would give it a go as it looked impressive but doesn’t require too much effort, I am not …
Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Yes a real one.. not a sponge pudding that has been called a Sticky toffe pudding! That is a major gripe of mine in pubs/restaurants, maybe I should start asking what it is made with before I order as 8 times out of 10 when I order a sticky toffee pudding I just get a …
Salted caramel pannacotta with popcorn ice cream
Topped off my dinner party this weekend with this little beauty – It didn’t go exactly to plan as I was making it.. I burnt the first caramel so it tasted bitter, I followed the recipe from my Olive magazine for my 2nd batch that is for 6 people.. 6 not very hungry people maybe!!! …
