Apricot Croissant French Toast Bake
This croissant french toast bake is my ultimate meal prep for a delicious breakfast with minimal work. You prepare it the night before and bake it in the morning. This is always going to be a win for my busy mum days. It’s a real crowd pleaser if you have friends or family staying and an easy way to feed a bigger crowd. It’s crisp on top while staying soft and custardy in the middle. The apricot conserve sits in little fruity pockets and caramelises on the edges.
Lemon, Thyme & Blood Orange Shortbread Biscuits
The feeling of spring is lingering in the air and the sun is peeking out of the clouds, so I thought it was time to bake a bit of sunshine too.
These are like little parcels of citrus sitting in a thyme shortbread. The shortbread has a little ground almond in it to keep the texture short all while holding its shape. The pretty pink icing on top brings memories of party rings from my childhood. These are such a treat and perfect with a cuppa.
Peanut, Stem Ginger & Miso Cheesecake Swirl Cookies
These are my ode to the sweet and salty lovers. I am one of them so these are also for me! I have been a bit obsessed with making flavoured chocolate barks for my cookies. It has really opened up so many possibilities to add in flavours that you don’t necessarily want in the actual cookie dough.
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.
Ginger White Chocolate & Rye Cookies
I love that you bite into these cookies and hit a melty morsel of gingery white chocolate just sitting amongst an unassuming cookie dough. I think the addition of dark rye flour contrasts really well against the sweetness from the chocolate and gives these sweets a bit more body.
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.
