Miso Maple Latte Syrup
This is a lovely autumnal addition to your coffee. I like to use 2 tsp in a double shot latte. It's not too sweet and gives a lovely subtle umami gingerbread caramel flavour.
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.
Autumnal Custard & Cardamom Plum Hand Pies
It’s such a treat to have something so rustic and beautiful bubbling away in the oven. With their rich buttery aromas wafting through the house, I can’t think of a more perfect excuse to spend the day tinkering around your kitchen. I’ve paired a silky vanilla bean custard and honey cardamom plum compote for a lovely seasonal filling. I’ve used Erin McDowell’s famous pie dough as you can’t beat it! I love these for breakfast, an afternoon pick me up or dessert.
Courgette & Lime BOO Cake
We’re doing cutesy Halloween around here!
This is a courgette and lime take on a madeira sponge; so a sponge that’s got a bit of weight to it. The buttercream is a russian buttercream which I’ve added a blackberry compote to for colour. If you want the cake to be really zesty, add in the zest from 3 or 4 limes rather than 2.
Blueberry, Cream Cheese Brioche Breakfast Buns
These beautiful, rustic breakfast buns are similar to an Eastern European Vatrushka bun. The light, buttery brioche is dimpled in the middle before being filled with a cream cheese mixture and glossy blueberry compote. They’re then topped with a oat and brown sugar crumble before being baked.
Blackberry & Maple Pear No-Churn Ice Cream Profiteroles
Just because summer seems to have been here one day and gone the next, doesn’t mean ice cream season has to end so suddenly. I feel like everyone has been making this simple no-churn ice cream this summer and I understand why. It’s light, creamy, really easy to make and doesn’t require an ice cream machine. As much as I’d love one, my tiny flat isn’t very accommodating for my kitchen obsessions.
