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.

Bunny Cookies

-

On a recent grocery shop this week, I purchased some cute Easter cookie cutters at @colesmarkets.  I knew I had to use the adorable bunny cookie cutter in one of my bakes. There was also another ingredient I wanted to try in this bake.  I used CSR sugar's unrefined coconut sugar instead of regular sugar.  This type of sugar retains the nutrients naturally found in the nectar of coconut blossoms making it a healthier option in baking. These Bunny Cookies taste a little bit like a gingerbread cookie due to the unique flavour of the coconut sugar.  These cookies are easy to make and do not need any chilling time in the fridge. The smell of the cookies were so good when they come out of the oven. I hope you get a chance to try some coconut sugar in your baking soon. Happy Baking xo Bunny Cookies Ingredients · 115 grams unsalted butter · ½ cup CSR unrefined coconut sugar · ½ teaspoon vanilla extract · 1 egg · 1¾ ...
