Dark Chocolate & Cherry Brown Butter Streusel Muffins
I’m not a huge muffin gal but every once in a while I get an itch for both making muffins and eating them. They’re low effort, high reward. So easy to make but my goodness they’re delicious. I like to think of these as my grown up muffins. The batter is buttery and light but it’s packed full of indulgent dark chocolate and juicy rich cherries. I’ve browned the butter in the streusel to add in some nutty caramel flavour and it makes for a really great muffin.
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.
