These mini Black Forest cheesecakes are inspired by the classic Black Forest gâteau, with rich chocolate cheesecake, fluffy whipped cream, tangy cherry gel and a generous scattering of dark chocolate shavings. They’re baked without a biscuit base
Bûche de Noël, or French Yule Log, is a classic Christmas dessert shaped to look like a tree trunk. It’s traditionally made from a filled sponge roll, and my version pairs a chocolate sponge flavoured with warming spices with a light vanilla mascarpone cream.
Apparently, I’ve somehow never shared a recipe for a simple, quick and delicious strawberry no-bake cheesecake with jelly on Moje Wypieki before. Time to put that right ;). This is a light and delicate cheesecake with a lovely strawberry flavour, a little like ptasie mleczko
These wonderful, intensely aromatic tayberries are perfect for cakes and preserves. You really must try these tayberry cupcakes – the flavour of the fruit itself is exceptional! Sadly, picking them is another story… No wonder we were the only volunteers
Oreo cheesecake is a treat for both little and big biscuit lovers! Creamy, delicate and wonderfully contrasting – a white cheesecake hiding pieces of black Oreo biscuits, which add not only character but also a lovely crunch and interesting texture. The whole
How to use fresh raspberries? Why not bake an Irish Cream meringue cake! Delicious meringue layers, crisp on the outside and delicate and marshmallowy in the centre, sandwiched with a light cream flavoured with Baileys. Absolutely heavenly! Instead of Baileys
No-bake vanilla Oreo cheesecake with a chocolate topping. It’s wonderfully creamy and light, with a delicate, marshmallow-like texture. I used Oreo biscuits with peanut butter filling in the cheesecake mixture, which adds a lovely contrast to the vanilla flavour, but
An autumn pumpkin cheesecake with deliciously sweet dulce de leche and cinnamon. Although dulce de leche has a fairly subtle flavour, it pairs wonderfully with pumpkin. It also makes this pumpkin cheesecake extra sweet and gives it a silky, creamy texture.
Prune in Chocolate cheesecake combines an intensely chocolatey cheesecake filling with rum-soaked prunes, bringing to mind delicious chocolate truffles. The whole thing is so rich and melt-in-the-mouth that it’s hard to imagine making it any more indulgent…
A perfect fig and maple syrup tart. I don’t think you could bake a better fig tart :). The combination of figs and maple syrup is pure heaven. A delicate mascarpone, cream and maple syrup filling, topped with plenty of fresh figs and served with an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
A wonderful and fairly simple no-bake raspberry cheesecake. Raspberries are added as a purée to the cheesecake mixture, as whole berries inside the cheesecake and again on top. The cheesecake is finished with a white chocolate ganache. Perfect for summer!
A delicate, silky no-bake coconut cheesecake with a milk chocolate topping, inspired by the flavour of a Bounty bar :). This no-bake Bounty cheesecake is simply delicious! It’s hard to imagine a creamier, lighter no-bake cheesecake. The coconut flavour comes from
Lemon cream and strawberry tart – a wonderful tart with a delicate, refreshing lemon cream made with lemon curd. The cream is so delicious that it’s genuinely hard to resist licking the bowl clean ;). The lemon cream pairs beautifully with crisp shortcrust pastry and
A chocolate cake with halva and blackcurrants. It’s a flavour combination you’ll want to come back to again and again… I used frozen blackcurrants to decorate the cake, but when they’re in season, there’s nothing to stop you using fresh instead. Simple and delicious!
Lemon meringues are classic white meringues sandwiched together with a delicious lemon cream. They are definitely my favourite meringues from now on :). They are less sweet and more refreshing than traditional meringues, thanks to the addition of lemon juice and the
A delicious cheesecake with gooseberries, made with almost the last gooseberries I was able to find this season ;). A crisp shortcrust base, a wonderful creamy cheesecake filling and a buttery streusel topping. This gooseberry cheesecake is quick
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
