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.

Berry Galettes

-
I have wanted to make these rustic looking pastry desserts called galettes for awhile now.  Today, I finally got around to making them.

These Berry Galettes are simply delicious.  They are made from a sweet pastry dough which is light and flaky. The filling consists of a range of juicy berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries.

Making the sweet pastry is worth the time as the result is so amazingly delicious.  Although, you can use commercially purchased pastry as well.  I highly recommend making this pastry as it's quick and easy.

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)

-

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.
