Mango and Coconut Mousse Bars
It's not summer until you get to enjoy mangoes. In Australia, the first mangoes appear as early as Spring. Though I woudn't say that they are at their best, it's impossible to resist the aroma as you pass through the aisles at your greengrocer or supermarket. Mangoes pair beautifully with … Read More
Grapefruit and Orange Tart
Do you like the taste of grapefruit? To be honest, I don't enjoy having it on its own, however, the refreshing citrus flavour with a slightly bitter aftertaste is so perfect in a dessert. This absoloutely divine tasting Grapefruit and Orange tart has a few different elements to it but it is … Read More
Orange KitKat Brownie Cakes
I've always had a thing for Kitkat chocolates. Not only do I love eating them, I find them the perfect decorations for pastries and cakes. You might have come across them before in my posts and if you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed a few creations in the past using them in various … Read More

Easy Chocolate Mousse Cake
Is it weekend yet? Let's pretend it is because this easy chocolate mousse cake is nothing short of a celebration. It is rich, decadent, sinful and oh so heavenly! You cant have too much in one go but you also can't stop. This cake makes everyone happy! Every time I open the refrigerator, I'm delighted at the sight of this cake. Though it seems like there are a few steps to make this easy chocolate mousse cake's different layers, they are really easy and hard to mess up. Making it a day ahead, helps to nicely set the mousse while you can top it with the shiny glaze on the day you serve it. The cake also stays for quite a long time in the fridge if you store it in an air tight container. Right now, it's a week old and we are still enjoying the last few slices. What is the best part about this easy chocolate mousse cake? That it is a no-bake cake yet there is no gelatine or egg used in the mousse. If you've made a no bake cheesecake or mousse cake before, you know gelatine is sensitive to the temperature of the other ingredients and can be tricky to use in these sort of recipes. Here, it's just the magic of chocolate and cream. I've added a bit of orange zest to the … Read More
Lemon Friands
I have quite a few friand recipes on this blog and they are all my favourites. That is because in Australia we can never grow tired of these delicious nutty treats. If I ever need to produce a baked treat at a short notice, I always go for a friand. If you the word 'friand' is new to you, you might have heard of the french financiers. They are the same! This time around, I decided to give them a 'high tea' look. Imagine them being served on tiers at a special occasion. So naturally I had to glam them up. All I did was coat them in white chocolate and they looked 'high tea ready'! I used a flower cookie mold so my friands were small and thin. You could also use a regular friand mold/pan but you may need to double the recipe in that case for 12 regular sized friands. Lemon FriandsYields 12 small friands 70 g unsalted butter, melted3 egg whites, lightly whisked100 g icing sugar30 g self raising flour60 g almond meal1 tbsp grated lemon zest200 g white chocolateyellow gel food colouring Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease a 12 hole flower cookie mold or 6 hole friand pan.Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Spoon batter into prepared … Read More
Carrot and Orange Cake
Winter is very synonymous with carrots and oranges at my place. Perhaps something to do with the cold season during my growing up years in India when this kind of produce was seasonal. Before I share the recipe for this truly amazing Carrot and Orange cake, I would like to apologise for my long absence from this space. It was never intentional because creating gives me more joy than anything in this world. I started a new venture in the middle of a global pandemic in an industry which was not only unknown but also probably the worst hit by Covid-19. I think it was a really brave decision, however it caused much stress, anxiety and dissappointment to my family and myself. When we embark on a new journey, our heart is filled with hope and courage and faith that we could possibly beat all odds. But more often than not, there are external factors that influence our circumstances that are barely in our control. We can only do our best! I had to say a sad but practical goodbye to our venture and here I am as happy as ever to be back in my cosy corner of the Internet doing the things I love. I believe, experiences, good or bad teach us a lot. It can change our perspective of the world … Read More
Honey and Apple Granola Cake
I have promised this recipe weeks ago but I haven't been able to sit down and open my website at all, let alone post a recipe. I apologise! A few significant changes (good changes) are happening in my life at the moment and I have been really busy. I will share when the time comes. This is my second granola cake in recent times. To say I am obsessed is an understatement. We have been eating granola with yogurt regularly for breakfast mainly for the convenience and inclusion of nuts and fruit but the possibility of using it as a topping for muffins and cake is far too tempting. The cake is really easy to make, however, it is baked in two stages. We bake the batter partially, then remove it from the oven to add the topping. Then it is baked until fully cooked through. This is done to prevent the top from overcooking and burning. Honey in cakes is another thing I absolutely love. The flavour is amazing.! But it is also healthier than using regular sugar. So since I was using honey, I felt I could make this cake refined sugar free by using coconut sugar. Feel free to use regular sugar/castor sugar if that is available to you. Honey and Apple Granola CakeMakes a 7 … Read More
