A no-bake milk chocolate tart with raspberries. The base is a simple biscuit crust, topped with an egg-free chocolate mousse and fresh raspberries – it had to taste good ;). This milk chocolate mousse and raspberry tart is perfect for summer.
Black Forest Squares are a combination of chocolate, cream and, of course, cherries :). If, like me, you live in a country where fresh cherries are not particularly popular, you can use frozen cherries with equally good results. The base is my favourite brownie
Seriously loaded cupcakes ;). The deep, tangy flavour of blackcurrants and chocolate is simply irresistible. I made these with the last blackcurrants of the season, but you can make them even in “December in the afternoon” using frozen fruit. These chocolate blackcurrant
A delicious chocolate cheesecake with cherries, or more precisely, cherry frużelina (cherry gel). This is a no-bake cherry chocolate cheesecake made without gelatine in the cheesecake itself: it relies on good-quality, thick quark and chocolate, which allow the
A chocolate cake inspired in both flavour and appearance by the well-known and much-loved Kinder Pingui chocolate bar. Two melt-in-the-mouth chocolate cake layers sandwiched with a light vanilla cream and an additional thin layer of chocolate.
Chocolate Plum mazurek will be making an appearance on my Easter table. I’ve decided to continue my series of “chocolate plum” recipes which, although more suited to winter, I think will fit perfectly with the atmosphere of this Easter, which is unfortunately
Old-fashioned Swedish pralines called dammsugare (“vacuum cleaners”), which in appearance resemble Polish bajaderki. They are made using leftover cakes or biscuits, so perhaps the name comes from the idea of “cleaning out” the cupboards ;). Or maybe it comes
Divine, moreish, fluffy and utterly addictive. You could fall in love with it after the very first bite. A delicious chocolate mousse cake with Nutella, finished with a glossy milk chocolate mirror glaze. Try it and you’ll be hooked. My suggestion for Valentine’s Day!
I have a soft spot for chocolate bakes made with farmer’s cheese, so today I’m sharing yet another version of chocolate muffins with a cheesecake filling. Izaura muffins are intensely chocolatey muffins with a vanilla cheese filling, topped with chocolate glaze. They’re
Perfect chocolate muffins with Nutella. Rich, deeply chocolatey and wonderfully substantial, with ground almonds adding even more texture. They’re not overly sweet – just right. And the surprise? A generous amount of Nutella hidden inside, although you can
This meringue truffle cake is like one giant chocolate truffle. Despite being made in a small tin, it makes a dessert for a crowd. It’s very rich and intensely, almost bittersweetly chocolatey. It’s ready to serve after just a few hours of chilling and, when well chilled
A fantastic white chocolate cake. There’s a whopping 300 g of white chocolate in the cake! It’s delicate, soft and fluffy straight after baking; as it cools, it becomes denser as the chocolate sets. This is the famous “mud cake”, but made with white chocolate.
An utterly irresistible stracciatella cheesecake with strawberries. It’s impossible to resist! Chocolate and strawberries are a match made in heaven, and this is a combination you simply have to try! And, as an added bonus, there’s no baking involved ;).
An incredibly creamy strawberry layer cake. It has everything you love: vanilla custard, stracciatella cream, strawberries and desiccated coconut. An added bonus is that it requires no baking, which is especially welcome during hot weather :).
Chocolate cake squares made with a moist cocoa sponge and an easy chocolate cream. This small celebration-style cake is decorated with a swirl of whipped cream and cherry preserve. I soaked the chocolate cake with port mixed with boiled water, but you could use
Honey gingerbread cookies sandwiched with chocolate are wonderfully aromatic and delicious. This time, instead of being coated in chocolate, they are sandwiched with a chocolate sauce (ganache). Merry Christmas!
Inside out chocolate chip cookies, or chocolate cookies with chocolate chips. Just as delicious as the original version, although my children thought they were even better ;). In this reversed version, the cookies are deeply chocolatey with the addition of white chocolate chips.
Reese’s macarons are utterly indulgent chocolate almond cookies filled with a creamy peanut butter filling. Decorated with chocolate and sprinkled with peanuts for extra crunch – a perfect combination! These macarons are made using Italian meringue, giving them a crisp
