Basque Cheesecake

Image
  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.

Lemon Tart

When life gives you lemons, you make a Lemon Tart of course.  At least that's what I love to bake with lemons. This is definitely a favourite amongst family and friends. This Lemon Tart is so delicious, with a fine buttery crust and tangy lemon filling. It is finished with drizzled melted chocolate and topped with raspberries and a touch of edible gold leaf.  The edible gold leaf used to decorate the raspberries are from @dollarsweets.  The touch of edible gold leaf gives the tart a beautiful finish.  However, you can enjoy this lemon tart on it's own with a dusting of icing sugar without the chocolate and raspberries. This recipe is worth the time to make.  Hope you give it a go soon.

Chocolate Tart

I've been wanting to make a Chocolate Tart for awhile now and I finally had the chance to make one. I was deciding whether to make it with all chocolate or make a tart with a chocolate filling. In the end I decided that the more chocolate the better. This Chocolate Tart is so decadent but not overly sweet as it's made with dark chocolate.  The tart consists of a chocolate crust, filled with a melt-in-your mouth ganache-like mousse texture and topped with strawberries and raspberries sprinkled in gold leaf. This is my first time using edible gold leaf by @dollarsweets.  The instructions on the packet was easy to follow. It outlined the best way to use it and things to avoid.  I used a combination of a pair of tweezers and a paint brush to apply the gold leaf to the raspberries. I definitely enjoyed adding a touch of bling to the Chocolate Tart. This recipe is a must for chocolate and tart lovers. Happy Baking xo  Chocolate Tart Ingredients · 1 cup plain flo...
