Salted Maple Pecan Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches
These are my autumnal waffle ice cream sandwiches: banana waffles, salted maple caramel, toasted pecans, vanilla ice cream and a dark chocolate shell.
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.
Strawberry Pecan Frangipane Bostock
An easy but delicious way to elevate your breakfast table. Take thick buttery slices of brioche, soak them in a simple citrus syrup and spread on a generous layer of pecan frangipane. Top with ripe sliced strawberries, flaked almonds and pecans before baking until golden. They’ll be a little crisp on the edges but gorgeously soft in the middle. I finish mine with a pile of strawberries which have been mixed with sugar so they’re glossy and sweet. Best eaten warm from the oven.
Honey Roasted Nectarine & Cardamom Karpatka
I didn’t think my love for this polish dessert could get any bigger, but you add in honey roasted nectarines and a fragrant cardamom diplomat cream and it might just be my idea of heaven.
Raspberry & Plum Pavlova
There’s only one issue with this dessert? You can’t stop going back for more.
The meringue is both crunchy around the edges and mallow-y in the middle. A tangy raspberry compote sits nestled in the middle along with a hidden meringue disc for added crunch. The cream is softly whipped with a few spoonful’s of compote added to delicately flavour it, as well as give it a lovely pastel pink shade.
Brown Sugar, Coffee, Chocolate Custard Tart
There’s something so satisfying and pleasing about a clean slice of custard tart. This tart looks simple but packs in a lot of technique and flavour. None of the flavours overpower each other in this, they just dance along together in harmony encased in a silky custard.
