Home made nut butter is one of the easiest things to make, you can play around with add ins and you have full control over what goes into it. Peanuts, almonds and hazelnuts are my nut butter go-to’s, but lately I’ve been playing around with macadamia nut butter and created a recipe that is next level delicious, I’m obsessed!
I’ve been so looking forward to this Easter weekend and a chance to slow down, catch my breath for a few days and enjoy time with my family. We’re keeping things very simple this year without all the fuss and frills, but there will still be plenty of treats to enjoy. I decided to put together a round up of decadent Easter dishes that you can make over the coming weekend.
Easter is around the corner and I decided to give one of my favourite bread dough recipes a chocolate twist for the occasion. This brioche dough is enriched with milk, egg and butter making it extra delicious and soft. It’s really easy to work with and the buns are utterly divine to eat!
Ever since I posted my no-bake Halloween biscuit truffles a few weeks ago I’ve been dying to try a Christmas version. I finally got around to it and they came out so well. I replaced some of the chocolate biscuits with ginger biscuits, added some orange zest for more of a festive flavour and dipped the truffles in dark chocolate which I decorated with mini fondant holly leaves, sprinkles and glitter.
BOO! It’s Halloween tomorrow, and kiddies all around are looking forward to the big day! My kids are putting the finishing touches on their costumes and planning their walking route around the neighbourhood, it really is lovely to see them so excited. This latest recipe is a Halloween treat that kids, both young and old, can get behind!
We’ve had these grown-up dessert brownies on repeat lately. The batter itself only takes a few minutes to mix together, and the brownies are topped with a layer of smooth dark chocolate ganache. I added a splash of chocolate liqueur to the brownies and the ganache for extra richness – so good!
I’m riffing off one of my favourite childhood cookie recipes this week and lemme tell ya, these cookies disappeared so quickly – we couldn’t stop snacking on them! I’ve used small bar-one chunks as the add-in here and they go deliciously chewy and gooey in the oven.
The cake theme continues! Not only did I celebrate 10 years of Cupcakes and Couscous last month, but my daughter also celebrated her 11th birthday, yay! I am also thrilled to let you know that we have just completed the photography for the book (whoop whoop!) and the images are looking fantastic. I am so blessed to be working with an incredible team who have helped me to bring the recipes to life in such a beautiful way. All I can say is that I’m more excited than ever to share this book with you later in the year. So there has definitely been lots to celebrate lately.
