This decadentchocolate trifle looks seriously impressive, but thanks to a few clever cheats, it’s far more achievable than you think! It starts with ready-made caramel Swiss rolls, layered with a caramelised white chocolate mousse made with Callebaut W2 (caramelising is optional, but adds beautiful depth). To balance the sweetness, there’s a rich dark chocolate ganache using Callebaut 811, followed by an easy milk chocolate custard made with good-quality ready-made custard and Callebaut 823 milk chocolate. Finished with whipped cream, chocolate curls, fudge pieces and a little sparkle, this is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that feeds at least 10 people. I only ever use Callebaut chocolate in my desserts -...

When cherry season rolls around late November, I have so many recipe ideas that I can't wait to try. Whereas my Cherry Chocolate Mousse Tart falls more into the "dessert" category, these Cherry Cream Cheese Danishes are ideal to serve as a tea-time treat or a fancy brunch. The Danishes are best served straight from the oven (while the pastry is still crisp and the filling warm and bubbly) but what I love about this recipe is that you can make all the elements ahead of time, then simply assemble before serving and have them on the table in...

I realised recently that I have four macaron recipes on the blog, yet somehow I never got round to sharing my all-time favourite - Chocolate Macarons! For the most part, once you've mastered a basic macaron recipe, you can make just about any type of macaron you want by simply changing what flavour and colour you add, and using different fillings (buttercream, ganache etc). All of my macaron recipes are based on one standard recipe. In order to make these Chocolate macarons I had to tweak the recipe slightly. The reason for this is that the addition of cocoa powder...

If you love chocolate as much as I do, then this Yule Log is just what your festive table needs! A Yule Log is essentially a chocolate Swiss roll cake filled with a chocolate cream filling and decorated with chocolate ganache or buttercream to look like a log. The combination of textures is my favourite thing about this dessert - the sponge is super-light and airy, and the chocolate mousse just melts in your mouth. The ganache adds an extra layer of rich chocolate flavour (and also decorates like a dream - my new favourite “buttercream”). I used Callebaut 823 to...
