Chocolate Love Cakes with Roasted Strawberry Buttercream
I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t be happy to receive one of these for Valentines Day. Moist chocolate cake, indulgent chocolate ganache, fresh strawberries and roasted strawberry buttercream. They’re the perfect size to split with your love, but this recipe makes more than enough for you to each have your own. I really think it’s worth putting the extra effort into the finishing touches. Fresh rose petals and gold leaf are my favourites to really make them special.
Toasted Oat & Cornflake Caramel Truffle Bites
It starts with a layer of toasted oats, crunchy cornflakes and salty crushed crisps that are coated in lashings of amber caramel. Once patted into a tray, it gets topped with a thick, decadent dark chocolate ganache with a hint of coffee and salt. Once set, a thick dusting of cocoa powder adorns the top before being cut into the neatest little bars.
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!
