White Raffaello truffles made with sweetened condensed milk, without butter or milk powder. They’re wonderfully rich and filling. They’re not quite like the shop-bought Raffaello chocolates, which are more delicate, coated in a crisp wafer and filled with

Vaniljhjärtan literally means “vanilla hearts”. These very popular Swedish pastries are delicious vanilla custard encased in delicate shortcrust pastry shaped like hearts. You will need heart-shaped moulds to make them; I have to admit that I have a bit of a habit of buying
Matcha latte cookies are a real treat for matcha lovers, although they may also pleasantly surprise those who aren’t particularly fond of its flavour. They are based on my recipe for tiramisu cookies. These delicate green, soft cookies have a distinct yet pleasantly

American sandwich cookies filled with peanut butter cream. Intensely chocolatey and wonderfully nutty! Chocolate whoopie pies have a texture similar to a sponge or butter cake (and are made in much the same way), staying soft and fluffy. They’re an American
