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.

Nutty Turtle Macarons

Turtles are one of my favourite sea-life animals.  They are so adorable and I just love them.  Not only do I collect turtle things but I love seeing turtle related food things. If you read my last blog, you will realise that I just discovered how delicious peanut butter is in desserts.  So to follow on with the theme of peanut butter, I decided to make these super cute Nutty Turtle Macarons. These turtle macarons are so fun to make. They have a delicious peanut butter filling in the centre and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for the turtle shell. I used white chocolate buttons for the head and feet of the turtle. To create the turtle eyes I piped two dots using some coloured icing.
