Basque Cheesecake

  If you love cheesecakes, you definitely need to give this recipe a try. This Basque Cheesecake is so smooth and creamy and the best part is that it is easy to make. The worst part is having to wait for it to be refrigerated for 4 hours or overnight for the flavours to develop but the wait is so worth it. This recipe can be made using the oven or in the air fryer. I have made it both in the oven and in the air fryer. Both methods create a delicious cheesecake that your family and friends will ask you to make time and time again.  Happy Baking xo Basque Cheesecake  Ingredients · 250 grams cream cheese ·  ½  cup sugar · 2 eggs · 1 tablespoon cornflour ·  ⅓  cup thickened cream ·  ½  teaspoon vanilla extract  ·  ¼  teaspoon salt (optional) Instructions 1.

Donut Cookies

-
Donuts are one of those treats I love to eat and if it has custard and chocolate, that's a bonus.  I have been inspired to make these donut cookies for awhile and so today I made them.

These donut cookies are super cute, easy and fun to make. What I love about this recipe is that you don't need to rest the dough. You just have to make the dough and roll it out.

I really enjoyed making these donut cookies as you can decorate the donuts anyway you like and add lots and lots of sprinkles on top.  These cookies are also delicious with a hint of lemon in the icing.

Kids and grown ups will all love this recipe.  Hope you bake them soon.

Donut Cookies

Ingredients

· 1 cup plain flour
· ¼ cup rice flour

Icing

· 2 cups icing sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

2. Line two trays with baking paper.

3. Place flours, sugar and butter into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbles. Add milk and pulse several more times.

4. Knead into a dough and roll dough to 3 mm thickness and cut out rounds using a 4 cm cookie cutter and then using a smaller cutter cut for the donut holes.

5. Place onto baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until
golden brown.

6. Allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating.

Icing

7. Place icing sugar, egg white and water or lemon juice into a bowl and using an electric beater beat on high for 3 minutes until mixture is smooth.

8. Place icing into a piping bag and pipe icing around each cookie and add sprinkles.

Tips

· I used a piping tip to cut out the donut holes.

· Remember to allow biscuits to cool completely before icing.

· If the icing appears too thick add more lemon juice and if the icing appears too runny add more icing sugar.

Coffee Kisses

Image
I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

-
Image
I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends. Happy Baking xo Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments) Ingredients · ...

Strawberry Jelly Slice

I've always wanted to make a jelly slice but never got around to making it.  I was looking through some recipes I saved awhile ago and come across an image of a jelly slice.  I think it was a sign for me to make it and so I did. This strawberry jelly slice is so delicious. It has a biscuit base, followed by a creamy lemon middle layer and a smooth jelly top. It was enjoyed by everyone and I have already had requests for more.  This slice is fun to make and not only does it look visually appealing but it tastes so good.  I can't believe I waited so long to make it.  It's definitely a new favourite.
