Simple Silky Hot Chocolate
A really easy way of making a silky and luxurious hot chocolate. This is my favourite drinking consistency; not so thick that it feels like you’re drinking liquid ganache, but not so thin it tastes too milky. I like to use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate so that you have depth of flavour as well as a little sweetness.
Millionaires Shortbread
These are a real nostalgic treat for me. I’ve eaten them growing up at birthday parties, alongside a warming coffee as an adult and now I’m showing you how to make them at home! As with most bakes, homemade just tastes better. Using good quality ingredients, especially chocolate, make a world of difference here. Although these do have quite a few components to build up the layers, they’re all quite easy recipes to follow. So knock up a batch for your next coffee date and enjoy!
Hazelnut, Caramel & Whisky Ganache Tart
All good things come to those who wait! If you’re looking for a weekend baking project or an indulgent dessert to impress your guests, this is it. Tender chocolate pastry, salted caramel, roasted hazelnuts and a whisky ganache; heaven! Although a little complicated, it’s definitely worth making all the elements. Enjoy!
Miso Caramel & Dark Chocolate Viennese Whirls
Viennese Whirls are up there with some of my favourite biscuits. I find the tender, buttery crumb so delicious and I can never stop going back for more! Since I love them so much, I thought; why not add an adult twist? A rich dark chocolate ganache pairs so well with salted caramel. By adding in Miso paste into the caramel, it adds a salty edge without adding extra salt. Make sure to use some good-quality chocolate for this recipe and enjoy!
Bulgaria - Garash Cake
This delightful Bulgarian cake is made up of 5 layers of walnut meringue sponge and chocolate cream filling. Once it’s firmed up in the fridge for a few hours, its then finished with a simple chocolate shell made with chocolate and oil. Little does anyone know what beautiful layers lay beneath.
Dark Chocolate dipped Honeycomb
Can't beat fresh honeycomb dipped in contrasting dark chocolate. I'm quite partial to a sprinkling of sea salt too!
