Maple syrup ice cream is simply delicious — truly irresistible. Adding maple syrup to ice cream is one of the best ideas ever — no one could resist another scoop! While it’s not the cheapest treat, it’s definitely worth coming back to from time to time. Serve
I couldn’t resist this one ;). A simple and fairly small cake (which is a bonus – you can bake something different the next day!) with chocolate chips and a crumb topping. Easy, muffin-style preparation and a perfect cake to enjoy with a cup of coffee and a friend…

Crème brûlée is the aristocracy of French desserts – one of the most iconic and deservedly celebrated classics, yet brilliantly simple. A silky, delicate vanilla custard topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramel. I didn’t expect it to work on my first attempt, or that I’d be

From today, this is my favourite pumpkin cheesecake. Simply perfect! If you’ve never baked a cheesecake with pumpkin purée before, this will be your go-to recipe. If you like, you can use nut biscuits for the base and sprinkle toasted walnuts or pecans on top.
