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.

Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies

I was inspired to make these Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies after seeing them on @onesarcasticbaker's Instagram post. My beautiful friend Dee is the face behind this account and she makes the most delicious baked goodies. But when I saw these cookies I knew I wanted to try out the recipe. These Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies are so crispy and they just melt-in-your-mouth.  If you're a fan of hazelnuts and Nutella, this recipe is the perfect bake for you. These cookies would make a sweet Valentines gift as well.  I used a love heart cookie cutter for the middle of the cookie instead of the round cutter. Also, thanks to Dee, I managed to learn something new as well.  I've never used hazelnuts before in my baking.  So, I learnt that to remove the hazelnut skins you need to just roast them for 5 minutes in the oven at 200°C. Hope you get a chance to try out this delicious recipe.  You will not be disappointed. Happy Baking xo All photographs posted here ar...

Festive Shortbread Cookies

I'm so excited about Christmas baking that I kind'a started a bit early this year. I know it's November but I thought I'd start sharing some recipes to inspire you to bake for Christmas. One of the things I always bake at Christmas time are shortbread cookies.  These festive shortbread cookies are so easy and fun to make.  But best of all they taste delicious as the cookies melt-in-your mouth. I love to drizzle melted chocolate and add sprinkles onto them.  There are so many different shaped cookie cutters you can use.  As usual, I love to make mini treats so I used a small star cutter.  This recipe makes lots of little cookies.  Or you can make quite a few large cookies instead. Happy Baking xo Festive Shortbread Cookies Ingredients · 250 grams butter, cubed · 1¾ cups plain flour · ⅔ cups rice flour · ⅔ caster sugar · Pinch of salt Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark or white chocolate Instruc...
