Caramelised Banana Custard Doughnuts
I love banana desserts but often overlook it as a flavour. These combine dark caramelised bananas with a rich, smooth mascarpone custard. The croissant shape isn’t too difficult, especially if you’ve shaped croissants before. They prove up a treat and I think they look beautiful with their cinnamon sugar coats.
Blueberry, Cream Cheese Brioche Breakfast Buns
These beautiful, rustic breakfast buns are similar to an Eastern European Vatrushka bun. The light, buttery brioche is dimpled in the middle before being filled with a cream cheese mixture and glossy blueberry compote. They’re then topped with a oat and brown sugar crumble before being baked.
Herby Red Pesto, Ricotta and Cheddar Babka
This deliciously savoury loaf is made up of buttery soft brioche layered with a mixture of red pesto, ricotta, rosemary, cheese and black pepper. Feel free to use any cheese that you have leftover from the festive season. Regardless of what cheese I’m using, I always like to add in a bit of parmesan to amp up the flavour.
Caramel, Custard Valentines Doughnuts
Soft, pillowy doughnuts filled with super light custard and raspberry preserve. All finished off with a crisp caramel top. Of course they’re heart shaped, the perfect gift for your Valentine.
