Retro Trifle
I can’t think of many other things as inviting as massive bowl of Trifle. It’s just itching to have a whopping great spoon dug into all those layers. It’s definitely one for a large gathering. It may seem like a lot of effort to make this delicious dessert from scratch but trust me, it’s worth it (especially as it’s spread over 2 days.) Feel free to have some freedom with the flavours and choose whichever berries are in season!
Pregnancy-Friendly Tiramisu
I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and every single restaurant I’ve been to recently has had Tiramisu on the menu. It’s been absolute torture not being able to have any (especially when my partner still orders it!) So I bring to you, a pregnancy-friendly Tiramisu recipe: no alcohol, decaf coffee and British Lion eggs. It’s very important to use British Lion eggs as they’re safe to eat when used in a cream like this (as they’re not cooked.) Feel free to use this recipe even if you’re not pregnant and add back in the caffeine and some alcohol into the syrup.
Thailand - Mango Sticky Rice
This week for ‘Baking around the world’ we’re in Thailand! I get excited every time I get to make something from a country so vastly different from the one I grew up in. It often means that their desserts are vastly different too. If you have ripe mangoes available, this is a perfect fresh dessert. It’s also an absolute breeze to make!
Tiramisu glasses
There's something about Tiramisu that is utterly irresistible and so moreish. A mix of rich mascarpone cream, cocoa and boozy espresso soaked biscuits creates the perfect dessert.
