With the holidays just about in full swing, let’s turn our attention to an indulgent sweet recipe. These seasonal mango and coconut ice cream sandwiches are playful, summery and made for our warm Christmas holidays when desserts should be cold, creamy and a bit of fun.

This is the kind of dessert that feels special enough for guests, yet easy enough to throw together on a cosy weeknight.

Mention the words “hot fudge sauce” and immediately I think of rich, chocolatey deliciousness. This quick recipe is perfect for dessert emergencies or spontaneous chocolate cravings, and in my opinion is better than store-bought sauce. I remember making a similar recipe as a child and drizzling the sauce over vanilla ice cream – the best! So, it was time to recreate that food memory and I’m so pleased with the results.
This week, we’re diving into a cosy bake that’s just right for tea time gatherings or as a birthday spoil. My husband and I celebrate our birthdays this week so a cake theme seemed fitting! This one’s a goodie – soft chocolate cake meets juicy and sweet pears, all topped with a crispy and buttery chocolate crumble. It’s a cake recipe that brings simple elegance to your table.
In Cape Town at this time of the year the weather keeps us on our toes – you never quite know what you’re going to get. Overall it’s milder, the days are sunny and the evenings are cooler (my idea of heaven)… with the odd scorcher, sudden downpour or balmy evening snuck in between. Basically, in this in-between season, we need to be ready for anything!

Holidays like Easter bring out my inner child. I love the egg hunts (you’re never too old in my opinion), the treats, the pastel colours – it’s hard not to get excited! Of course, having kids keeps that magic and excitement alive and these adorable Easter basket cupcakes are the perfect holiday baking project for them to enjoy.
