This decadent and creamy White chocolate and Raspberry cheesecake is perfect for a special occasion! It's a no-bake recipe that you can make in advance, and it serves 8-10 people (if you can stop at one slice!). White chocolate and raspberry is one of my personal favourite flavour combinations - the creamy, sweet white chocolate is perfectly balanced by the tart freshness of the juicy raspberries.I used Callebaut W2 White Chocolate in both the biscuit base and the cheesecake filling to layer up the white chocolate flavour.  Callebaut is a Belgian chocolate brand that was previously only accessible to professional...

In celebration of National Doughnut Day, I wanted to make some filled doughnuts as it's something I haven't done before.

This is because the water inside the fruit cells expands on freezing, and the ice crystals rupture the cell walls. Once defrosted, the fruit will inevitably be soft and soggy. This is not an issue if you're planning on using the thawed fruit for smoothies, juices or sauces but if you're planning on...

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...
