Breakfast & Brunch, Recipes / 05.05.2022

Custard Yoghurt Toast went viral on TikTok earlier this year, and although I'm a bit late to the party I'm so glad I tried it out! It's made with a few basic ingredients - bread, double cream yoghurt, egg and honey and takes just 10 minutes to whip up. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, dessert or an anytime snack, you're going to love the creamy custardy texture combined with the crunchy toast - yum!The traditional version features a vanilla custard topped with berries (usually strawberries) but I've developed a chocolate and almond version too. I'd love to know if...

Breakfast & Brunch, Recipes / 30.04.2022

Nothing says "weekend" like a long, lazy brunch. Preferably something indulgent, enjoyed with family and friends at a leisurely pace. And what could be more fun than a customisable brunch where each person can make their own personal favourite waffle stack? I love making waffles for brunch, because a) who doesn't love waffles, and b) they can be made in advance! Yes that's right, you can make your waffles days (or even weeks) in advance and freeze them, then simply pop them in the toaster to heat (no need to defrost first). To create this beautiful DIY waffle platter,...

These easy Nutella Cheesecake-filled Easter eggs are the perfect centrepiece for your Easter table. They look absolutely stunning and will satisfy even the most serious chocolate craving! They're made by filling Easter egg halves with an Oreo crumb and rich Nutella cheesecake filling. Decorate them with a drizzle of ganache and a variety of Easter eggs and you have yourself a seriously indulgent showstopper of a dessert! These cheesecakes can be made in advance up to the decorating, which I prefer to do just before serving. That's because candy-coated eggs pick up moisture in the fridge which causes them to...

I’m a chocolate chip cookie girl, through and through. If faced with the choice between a slice of cake (literally any cake) and a chocolate chip cookie, I’ll take the cookie. Ditto for brownies. In fact I’d choose a chocolate chip cookie over almost any treat! My tried and trusted chocolate chip cookie recipe is the first cookie that I learnt to bake back when I was a teenager, and I still make it more often than any other recipe.That is until I tasted these cinnamon roll cookies. I feel its too early to say they have taken the number...

I’ve long since been a fan of Millionaires Shortbread. If you’ve never had this decadent treat, it’s made up of crisp shortbread, a gooey caramel layer and finally a layer of chocolate. Very rich indeed, which is probably how it got its name! As if this treat wasn't tempting enough, I’ve made my own version with dark, milk and white chocolate on top. This looks incredibly impressive, but is simple to achieve with nothing more than a skewer. Plus, you don’t need a sugar thermometer to make the easy caramel layer, just plenty of Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter for that perfect...

With just a few weeks left of cherry season, I wanted to share one of my favourite cherry recipes with you - these utterly divine Black Forest Cupcakes! The recipe is based on a classic Black Forest Gateaux (or cake), which consists of layers of chocolate sponge cake, cherry filling and whipped cream and chocolate shavings to decorate. Traditionally, Kirshwasser (a liqueur made from cherries grown in the Black Forest region in Germany) is brushed onto the cake layers or added to the cherry filling, and it is thought that this is where the name of the cake comes from....
