Matcha and White Chocolate tart
If you are a lover of Matcha green tea, I have the perfect dessert for you. If you're not or perhaps unfamilar with it, that is about to change! My husband loves drinking green tea but I have never shared the same love for this healthy superfood with amazing health benefits. However, what I … Read More
Blueberry and Lavender Cake
I can't seem to have enough of blueberries this season. These blue- purple berries are the easiest and a delicious way to decorate and flavour desserts.While I'm truely a fan of the entire berry family, I think blueberries are the most hassle free of the lot. No hull, no seeds just plain purple … Read More
Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
This cake has been on my must-try list for years. I've heard as well as experienced in many occasions that oil lends a softer, moister crumb. But since I like butter too much, I've just been putting it off. The reason? We whip butter in most cases with sugar to get that tall, light, fluffy texture … Read More
Rosewater Tartlets With Pomegranate And Salted Pistachios
What makes a dessert totally irresistible? Well, if you ask me, it is a lot of things put together in perfect harmony. Taste, colour, flavour, texture and so on. When we think of desserts, we automatically think of sweet sensations in our mouth but did you ever wonder why a lot of recipes often include a pinch of salt? Salt is supposed to not only enhance the sweetness and uplift the experience but it brings out the existing flavours in the most delicious way. Just like salted caramel tastes better than caramel! A few months ago I created a few salted dessert recipes for a magazine that I thought were too delicious not to share over here. This one is my favourite because it involves rosewater (obviously) with lots of crunchy surprises from the fresh pomegranate arils and the pistachios and it looks pretty too. As a little twist to the already amazing tasting dessert, I added salted pistachios instead of the plain ones. Sometimes a tiny little addition or substitute in a recipe can become a game changer. You really need to taste this one. It's something very, very special. If you want to make one single tart instead smaller tartlets, you can of course do that. It will … Read More
Skinny Blueberry Cheesecake
Is it too late to wish you a very Happy New Year? I hope not because I'm still very much in holiday mode and I feel the year has just taken off. I've only just started making resolutions and setting goals for the year. Do you make resolutions? Speaking of resolutions, the one thing I think most of us have at the top of our minds, (myself included) is health and fitness. While we will continue to have naughty treats in this space, I'd also like to play around with a few healthy substitutes to regular ingredients this year. Wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy some luscious desserts without having to worry about calories? The core ingredient of this cheesecake is cottage cheese which is not as popular in desserts as it's cousin, ricotta cheese despite being creamy, highly nutritious and low in fat. It is a low calorie source of protein and calcium that is pretty versatile whether you use it in sweet or savory recipes. I chose a gluten free almond crust for this cheesecake to make it available to a wider audience. The filling is light and delicious but naturally does not have a lot of flavour on it's own. You have the option of having it as is or topping it with fresh fruits, … Read More
White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Cranberry Jelly
I thought I wouldn't be able to get a post out of me before the start of the next year, but it's Christmas and if this is not the time to indulge then there never will be one. In Australia, Christmas is synonymous with summer. So instead of spices, pies and puddings, it's more about light, cold, make ahead desserts. I'm a big fan of Panna Cotta at this time because they are not only super easy and portioned for guests in any kind of fancy glass you can find but they're very versatile and can be flavoured in a variety of ways. Instead of pairing with fresh fruits, like I would normally do, I made a quick cranberry jelly using cranberry juice and topped them with Ferrero Rocher Chocolates. The tart cranberry jelly is just perfect with the white chocolate in the Panna Cotta. And because it's Christmas, it doesn't hurt to dress things up a little bit some bright red ribbons that look amazing around the serving glasses. Overall it's an absolutely delightful treat to enjoy with friends and family. Merry Christmas to you and your family. In case you're not on Instagram, I've moved houses last week and am beyond excited to celebrate Christmas in my new home that we've build … Read More
Coffee Lovers Cake
Coffee is definitely the solution to all my morning woes. Cake is probably the solution to ALL my woes. At least many of them! So I figured out that the best way to deal with life and its woes is to make a coffee cake. Not just any cake but a very rich, intensely coffee-ish cake. This Mocha Mud cake has been topped with Coffee Buttercream and drizzled with Mocha sauce. If you are crazy for coffee, this is your cake. It's Halloween tomorrow and I am just not guilty for making a creepy looking something. But everyone seems to be enjoying it and coming up with both scary and cute creations. I cannot make a single spooky treat to save my life and since I was feeling quite left out, I thought this cake was somewhat more apt to share at this time than my floral creations. Tall, dark, handsome:-) Now tell me is it freaking you out? No? Great! That was not my intention anyway. But the taste will. It is so freaking good! Mocha Mud cake Makes a 6 inch round cake 250g butter, chopped 200 g good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped 11/4 cup freshly brewed strong coffee (or 1 tbsp instant coffee powder dissolved 11/4 cup warm water) 11/4 cup castor sugar … Read More
