I’m a total sucker for anything citrus, so I couldn’t resist leaning into those sunny spring vibes (hello sunshine!) and creating these light, lemony tartlets. They’ve got a buttery shortbread crust that melts in your mouth and a silky lemon curd filling that’s bright, zesty and just the right amount of sharp. It’s a flavour combo that feels fresh, elegant and seriously delicious.

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.

Basically, in this in-between season, we need to be ready for anything!
