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.
Apple Fritters with a Winter Berry Glaze
A soft, fluffy doughnut studded with a spiced apple and blueberry filling glazed in a punchy winter berry glaze. The perfect winter sweet treat.
Gooey Hazelnut Praline & Chocolate Milk Buns
Soft, tender milk bun swirled with a hazelnut praline and chocolate filling, finished with a generous blanket of brown butter cream cheese frosting and chopped chocolate. The brown butter frosting is spooned on top of the buns while they’re still warm from the oven so that it nestles into all of those empty spaces, mixing with that indulgent nutty filling. The chocolate chunks melt slightly while the buns cool so you’re left with the most decadent and sticky dessert bun.
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.
Marble Mint Choc Chip Mallows
I love mint choc chip and I love a melty sweet marshmallow bobbing around in my hot chocolate. So I decided to mash the two together with these rippled peppermint marshmallows. A third of the peppermint marshmallow gets mixed with melted dark chocolate and cocoa powder, while the rest gets crushed candy canes folded through. These two then get gently marbled together before being left to set overnight.
