This is one of my favourite desserts when I need something comforting that requires minimum prep. Not only is it incredibly easy to make but is also very forgiving. Don't have maple syrup? Use honey. Don't have hazelnuts? Use almonds. Don't have vanilla pods? Use a teaspoon of cinnamon. Don't have rum? Use Frangelico or port. You can really get creative with the ingredients and customise it just to your liking. I've made this recipe many times with slightly different ingredients, and each time it is delicious! All that's needed is a something creamy on the side -...

Let me just be clear about one thing. I am completely and utterly addicted to Biscoff spread. This glorious stuff (also known as cookie butter or speculoos spread) is a made from speculoos cookie crumbs and has a lightly-spiced, biscuity, toffee flavour. The texture is similar to Nutella - thick and spreadable, and gloriously liquid when melted. Originally invented in Belgium, speculoos spread is popular in Europe and has recently grown a cult following in the US as well, where it is marketed as Biscoff. Sadly for South Africans, this product is not easily available. So you can imagine my...

Summer is almost over but there's still time to enjoy a fresh, fruity dessert like this one! This Mango and Yoghurt pudding is incredibly easy to make, but is an absolute showstopper too. So whether you enjoy it as a weeknight treat or to end of a braai with friends, it will surely be a hit! The layers are made up of Lancewood Double Cream Yoghurt (a staple I always have in my fridge!), cream, fresh mango and soft brown sugar. Adding the cream to the yoghurt makes it that much more rich and decadent, but if you're in...

I know these Cheat's Mille Feuille look incredibly fancy, but trust me they are sooo easy to make! I used phyllo pastry (instead of the traditional puff pastry) then filled them with a simple but delicious cream cheese filling and added some fresh fruit. The result is a stunning but surprisingly light dessert! Sprinkling a little sugar on the buttered phyllo pastry not only adds a delicious crunch but also helps to weigh down the delicate sheets of pastry as they bake so that they hold their shape. The creamy filling (made with Lancewood Medium Fat cream cheese and just a...

If it's an easy dessert you're looking for, it doesn't get much better than this! These Cheat's Créme Brûlée's are made with chocolate and yoghurt, and require no baking! Amazingly, when you add melted chocolate to Lancewood's Plain Double Cream yoghurt it not only sweetens it but creates a creamy, custardy texture. Then just add a flavour of your choice (vanilla, orange or lemon zest, a pinch of cinnamon or dash of liqueur) then top with a crunchy brûléed sugar topping and you have a simple yet sophisticated dessert! I initially tested the recipe with white chocolate (and a splash of...

These Triple Chocolate Brownie Hearts are the perfect sweet treat to spoil your loved ones with this Valentine's Day. Not only are they absolutely delicious (I've yet to find anyone who can stop at just one!), the recipe is easy enough to make with the kids - they'll simply love decorating them! This is my go-to brownie recipe - soft and fudgy, with a rich cocoa flavour. For a little extra indulgence I've added white, milk and dark chocolate chunks too. Because why not?Creating the pretty heart shapes requires nothing more than a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Admittedly you'll have a...

I love the idea of giving edible gifts to friends and family over the festive season. A box of Bakers Choice Assorted® makes a great stocking filler or hostess gift so I like to keep a few boxes on hand. If I have time though, I use my favourite Bakers Choice Assorted® biscuits to make yummy treats with like this this Nuttikrust® Apple Pie Fudge.With flavours of baked apples, cinnamon, white chocolate and Nuttikrust® biscuits, each indulgent bite is reminiscent of a slice of warm apple pie with a scoop of ice cream!Although fudge usually requires a sugar thermometer and...

When Cadbury launched their Limited Edition Festive range last year, I absolutely fell in love with the Dairy Milk Festive Gingerbread flavour (and gobbled up more slabs than I'd like to admit). This year, when Cadbury asked me to make an easy Christmas treat that kids would love, it was the Cadbury Dream Cinnamon Crunch I reached for. For me, the combo of creamy Dream and crunchy cinnamon bits brings to mind flavours of Milk Tart - and who doesn't love Milk Tart? To make these Blondie Christmas Trees, I've incorporated large chunks of Cadbury Dream Cinnamon Crunch into...

I don't know about you, but I'm so ready to see my friends again! It's been 6 weeks of lockdown now - that's 6 weeks of not leaving the house at all. Although I've always been quite a home-body and enjoyed spending my days in the kitchen, it's not quite the same when you don't have anyone to share your creations with. My husband has some of it, but he actually doesn't have much of a sweet-tooth! So although it still feels like an absolute age until we can have friends round for dinner again, I've already planned the...
