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.
Rhubarb & Honey Mascarpone Custard Doughnuts
Undoubtably, doughnuts are my weakness. I can’t resist a fresh, soft doughnut. I love the way everything seems to get a showering of sugar as it rustles off between bites. Along with the fact that doughnuts are one of my favourite baked goods, add rhubarb to the mix and these couldn’t be more perfect. I’ve filled them filled to the brim with a tangy compote and the most luscious mascarpone custard filling. A real treat.
Chocolate Chunk Espresso Muffins
When I dream of chocolate muffins, these are what I dream of. A moist and tender sour cream batter with big chunks of melted dark and milk chocolate. All nestled under a blanket of salty, crisp chocolate streusel and sweet coffee mascarpone cream. I think they're quite beautiful with their rough rocky surface and different shades of cocoa. My perfect chocolate muffin.
Black Forest Brownies
I've wanted to make a decadent tray of brownies for weeks. After having a look back through my reels and seeing my black forest cake, I knew that was the flavour I wanted to go with.
I'm still yet to find my 'perfect' brownie recipe; but I decided to try Baran Bakeries recipe and it didn't disappoint. They're the perfect mixture of cakey and fudgy, and probably one of the easiest brownie recipes I've made. Such a satisfying bake.
I then whipped up some mascarpone cream and topped it with vibrant cherry compote & chocolate.
The perfect messy slice, just like I imagined
