Lavender, Honey and Almond Cake
I have a deep love for floral flavours! As if, you didn't know. Any special occasion and the first thing that comes to my mind is lavender or rosewater (yes, chocolate too). Since the occasion is Mother's Day and the best part being that my Mum is around at the moment, I really wanted to make this … Read More
Goats Cheese Cheesecake
The egg-stra long Easter weekend has started for us already and that means lots of fun, food and entertainment for the family. Food is of course, the highlight at my place. Coming up with new dessert ideas is my favourite bit and if they are make-ahead as well as easy, they tick all the boxes for … Read More
Chocolate Stout Cake
Traditionally, Easter is owned by the kids, we all know that. But who will think about us adults on that much awaited long weekend? We can't be eating chocolate eggs and Hot Cross buns all through the holidays especially when we have kids at home and those things are always claimed by them. We … Read More
Chocolate Hazelnut Friands with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
I am really excited today for a multitude of reasons. First, because this post involves chocolate and I am posting a friand recipe after a long time. They are a super favourite treat of mine. And secondly because I have guest posted for the first time. I have blogged for 5 years now (where has time … Read More
Hot Cross Buns Frozen Cheesecake
Easter is upon us, though I think I'm slightly early this year. But believe me, I have already eaten my entire weight in hot cross buns. Who can resist them? Slather them with butter or cream cheese, turn them into sandwiches, grill them or eat them plain. I've tried so many things with them and I've still not had enough. My favourite bakery, Bakers Delight has the most amazing, melt-in-your mouth buns busting with flavour and every time I'm on a grocery trip, I try to look away as they're so irresistible! Last week I was having a Choc Chip hot cross bun with ice cream when the thought of making an ice cream cake came to me. I love ice cream cakes but they become runny even as you slice them so a better version was a frozen cheesecake. Simple and so delicious! It's officially Autumn in Australia but the weather is warm and sunny. But who needs a reason to eat ice cream, right? If you've ever tried a Hot Cross Bun ice cream sandwich, this is just a large version of it. The base and the top are the buns. Sandwiched between them is a filling of cream cheese, chocolate ice cream, berries and pieces of hot cross buns. Since the buns already have tonnes of flavour in them, … Read More
Loaded Ice Creams with Bulla Family Dairy
Disclaimer : This post is brought to you by Bulla Family Dairy. All opinions expressed in the post are entirely my own. A few days ago I hosted an Ice Cream Party at home. It was one of those really hot summer weeks and I wanted to have fun indoors but not with the usual backyard barbecue. It was a spur of the moment idea but something that didn’t need much effort or time. I invited a few friends over, brainstormed some fun toppings, ran to the grocery store and before I knew it, everything was ready to go. Naturally I wanted the best quality ice cream that I knew my guests would love, so I decided to try Bulla’s latest frozen range. To say that it was a fun party, would be an understatement. Everyone said that they felt like kids again. We had a few pre-decided themes like the His n Her loaded ice creams (inspired by Valentine’s day) and Beach Inspired Loaded Ice Creams and the rest was DIY. So basically, the guests got to load their own ice cream cones, sundaes or frozen sticks with their choice of toppings. All I can say is that the only thing better than ice cream is loaded ice cream. If you can have loaded fries, why not loaded ice cream? If you’re in Australia, … Read More
Matcha and White Chocolate tart
If you are a lover of Matcha green tea, I have the perfect dessert for you. If you're not or perhaps unfamilar with it, that is about to change! My husband loves drinking green tea but I have never shared the same love for this healthy superfood with amazing health benefits. However, what I immensely love are the desserts infused with matcha tea powder. Not only do they look fabulous in that stunning shade of green but they taste pretty unique as well. I cannot think of a better pairing than white chocolate because they just complement each other in the most delicious way. I've used matcha tea powder in the tart shell as well in the filling. In fact, though the tart dough took on the beautiful green colour quite easily, I was a little bit skeptical if the tart shell would remain green upon baking or turn into a golden brown rendition of the same. I was pleasantly surprised that the colour intensified in both the shell and the filling. My favourite part were the cross section of the slices. With Valentine's day around the corner, I had to dress up the tart of course. Initially I thought of using candied rose petals but I've done that last year so I went with … Read More
Blueberry and Lavender Cake
I can't seem to have enough of blueberries this season. These blue- purple berries are the easiest and a delicious way to decorate and flavour desserts.While I'm truely a fan of the entire berry family, I think blueberries are the most hassle free of the lot. No hull, no seeds just plain purple gorgeousness. If you didn't know already they are high in antioxidants, low in calories and come with a number of health benefits. Lavender on the other hand comes from the same family as some of our popular herbs like mint, rosemary and sage. I absolutely adore lavender in desserts. it took me a while to master the right proportion and right pairings. You know the concept of 'how much is too much'! It is so important. We don't want a dessert that smells like soap. Culinary lavender is available in quite a few stores as well as online in Sydney. I bought mine over 6 months now and it is till fragrant and very easy to use. I've made this cake a few times, with and without lavender. In fact I put it into my children's lunchboxes without the frosting. Depending on the type or brand of yogurt I use, I've noticed a difference in the texture or rather thickness of the batter. A very thick … Read More
