Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake
A perfectly decadent and rich chocolate espresso cheesecake that’s not too heavy. A chocolate speculaas biscuit base with a good pinch of sea salt to combat the sweetness. The chocolate cheesecake filling has a generous helping of good-quality dark chocolate and four shots of espresso. This really enhances those chocolatey notes. Once baked, it’s finished with a layer of silky smooth ganache made with both dark and milk chocolate for both sweetness and depth of flavour.
Simple Silky Hot Chocolate
A really easy way of making a silky and luxurious hot chocolate. This is my favourite drinking consistency; not so thick that it feels like you’re drinking liquid ganache, but not so thin it tastes too milky. I like to use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate so that you have depth of flavour as well as a little sweetness.
Black Forest Brownies
I've wanted to make a decadent tray of brownies for weeks. After having a look back through my reels and seeing my black forest cake, I knew that was the flavour I wanted to go with.
I'm still yet to find my 'perfect' brownie recipe; but I decided to try Baran Bakeries recipe and it didn't disappoint. They're the perfect mixture of cakey and fudgy, and probably one of the easiest brownie recipes I've made. Such a satisfying bake.
I then whipped up some mascarpone cream and topped it with vibrant cherry compote & chocolate.
The perfect messy slice, just like I imagined
