Chocolate and Rhubarb Tartlets
Aren't we really lucky that we have rhubarb all year round in Australia? It is one of my favourite things to add to desserts. Not only does it complement both dark and white chocolate equally well, like in these rhubarb tartlets, it adds a punch to any cake or crumble. Rhubarb compote is the best … Read More
Mini Blueberry Cakes
Summer has come to an end in our part of the world. The last couple of weeks have brought us so much rain that it was hard to notice the change of seasons. Muddy backyard, gloomy days and no sun. I thought I would make something pretty to uplift everyone's spirits. These are so easy. The … Read More

Nutella Sandwich Cookies
I made and shot these cookies way back in October when I bought a few cookie stamps but never got to post the recipe. What can be a better time to share cookies than the official cookie season of the year? The recipe is pretty simple and as you can see the beauty is in the stamp design. However these can be made plain without the designs and simply rolling out and cutting them in different shapes using cookie cutters. Cookie stamps can be found on Ebay, Amazon and almost all cake decorations stores.We can never go wrong with Nutella, can we? Nutella Sandwich cookiesMakes 12 sandwich cookies 225 g unsalted butter, room temperature1 cup packed brown sugar1 large egg1 teaspoon vanilla2 1/3 cups plain flour1/2 cup good quality cocoa powder1 teaspoon baking powder3/4 cup Nutella Beat the butter and brown sugar with electric mixer until fluffy.

Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes with Marzipan Pears
I'm finally getting into the Christmas spirit. The last few weeks have been an absolute blur of activities since we got a new puppy. He is adorable and a little ball of joy. However, I never anticiapted the amount of work, attention and time I would have to give to this hyper active baby of mine. He actually makes me feel old since I struggle to keep up with him. To tell you the truth, managing twins wasn't as hard as managing our baby Biscoff. I know, everyone remembers his name. The vet. doggie care, strangers...he is my dessert puppy:-) Speaking of dessert, spices are the hero of the season. I have plenty of gingerbread recipes on my blog already so I thought I'll create something that looks slightly different but is easy to make. Back in the day when I used to run high teas for my cafe restaurant, I worked with marzipan a lot to create sensational edible toppings. I'm not a big fan of the taste but it it such a versatile item. I like it much better than fondant. With or without the pear decorations, the cakes are amazing. Golden syrup is indeed a beautiful ingredient. It adds a caramel-ish flavour to the cakes that goes so well with the spice. I coloured the pears red … Read More
Mango and Coconut Mousse Bars
It's not summer until you get to enjoy mangoes. In Australia, the first mangoes appear as early as Spring. Though I woudn't say that they are at their best, it's impossible to resist the aroma as you pass through the aisles at your greengrocer or supermarket. Mangoes pair beautifully with coconut. Together they are a burst of the tropics in your mouth. This a deceptively simple dessert to make, with absolutely no baking invoved. I have used sillcon rectangular molds. You could use round or square molds and even make them in serving glasses. Mango Coconut Mousse Bars Makes 4 bars For the base 7-8 digestive biscuits2 tbsp coconut oil, meltedFor the mango and coconut filling3 tsp powdered gelatine150 ml thin (pouring) cream120 ml Coconut cream40 g caster (superfine) sugar3 tbsp mango purée Mango jelly 3/4 cup mango purée1/2 tsp powdered gelatine Place the biscuits in a food processor and pulse to form fine crumbs. Pour the melted coconut oil into the processor and pulse to combine. Press the biscuit mixture into the base of rectangular silicone molds. Freeze until needed. To make the mango-coconut layer, soften the gelatine in 2 … Read More
Grapefruit and Orange Tart
Do you like the taste of grapefruit? To be honest, I don't enjoy having it on its own, however, the refreshing citrus flavour with a slightly bitter aftertaste is so perfect in a dessert. This absoloutely divine tasting Grapefruit and Orange tart has a few different elements to it but it is definitely not difficult to make. All of them can be made ahead of time and assembled at the time of serving. This Grapefruit and Orange Tart has a lovely shortcrust pastry base, a grapefruit custard filling, a layer of orange curd, a white chocolate decoration that complements the citrus duo beautifully and some vanilla chantilly cream to balance the sweetness. It is sure to impress your guests both by it's apperance and by taste. If you didn't want to make all the layers, you could easily leave out the orange curd or white chocolate spiral and it would still be fanatstic. Want to see more Orange desserts?
