I made some Easter trears for my work colleagues. Lots of chocolate of course! Afterall it is Easter. Mini egg fudge. White chocolate fudge filled with crushed mini eggs. Brownies topped with a Lindt Mini egg.
With a pastry base made from butter, egg & flour and a filling of double cream and eggs this is a beautiful tasting quiche. I ditched my usual low fat quiche recipe and opted for a Mary Berry one instead and what a treat. It was delicious !! I used leeks grown in my allotment for the filling of the main quiche with some garlic and shallots and leftover mushrooms in the 2 smaller individual quiches.
A lovely and easy to make fresh cream strawberry Gateau, as requested by my niece Eden for her 9th birthday! I made a victoria sponge, then whipped up the cream adding some vanilla extract and a tablespoon of icing sugar. This gives the cream a lighter and slightly sweeter taste. I added strawberries to the middle and top of the cake and voila the Gateau is finished! Strawberry Birthday Gateau
Here is my entry for the Fairtrade Banana bread bake-off at Kingston University. I used as many Fairtrade ingredients as I could including bananas, chocolate and sugar. Fairtrade products mean high quality, ethically sourced products. Banana bread with chocolate chips Look out for this symbol when you are next in a supermarket Why is Fairtrade important?
For all you walnut whips fans! A chocolate chip and walnut sponge. Filled with a deliciously gooey marshmallow butter icing. I topped the cake with dark chocolate ganache and then halved some walnut whips as decoration, along with some crushed walnuts. All a very tasty combination if I say so myself!! I made this for my mum's birthday as walnut whip is one of her favourite chocolate treats.
One of life's pleasures - The biscoff biscuit cheesecake 😋 Biscoff biscuit base with an indulgent but delicious biscoff spread cheesecake topping. And just in case you haven't had enough biscoff- the biscoff biscuit sauce to drizzle on the top. Omg we were in heaven!
