Om Ali or Umali as some call it is a traditional Egyptian dessert, made with crunchy bits of pastry, dry fruits and a milk mixture. I think of it as a sophisticated bread pudding. It’s rich, festive and a sure crowd-pleaser. I’ve tasted Om Ali only once before and it was years ago. But I […]
These are BAKED churros; you don’t need any more reasons to make them. These are as indulgent as Churros but with half the effort and calories. Skip the deep frying and enjoy these, guilt-free. To be honest, I’ve never tasted Churros, but if they don’t take like these, then I don’t want them. I’ve adapted […]
This treacle pudding is the easiest Christmas recipe I’ve tried this season and might just be my favourite discovery of the year. It’s so simple to make, very quick to put together and with a dash of caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream, this easily transforms itself into the ultimate dessert. This treacle […]
I love a good crumble and could there by anything more magical than putting a Christmas spin to this holiday favourite? This Christmas crumble just exudes warmth, cheer and all things Christmassy with its gorgeous pink shades and caramel flavour, topped with marzipan and almonds. What I love about this Christmas crumble is how effortless […]
A Pavlova is one of those classic bakes you just have to make at least once. But honestly, once you’ve made it, you’ll see how simple it is to make and how delicious it is , that you’ll want to make it all the time. My first introduction to a pavlova was when I watched […]
I’m calling this my Skinny Pumpkin Pie because it is flourless and a healthier version than most recipes you find. I’ve skipped the usual biscuit base I use in my other recipes, choosing an almond flour crust instead. For the filling, it’s stevia instead of sugar and completely flourless. Sounds a bit strange but it […]
Closely following up my Halloween Pancake recipe, is my recipe for Halloween Brownies. And yes, different recipe, same criteria for acceptance; must be low on effort, high on success! This recipe fits the bill and how! These Halloween Brownies will take you only 8 ingredients and just about 10 minutes to put together. 30 minutes […]
This week I’m sharing the recipe for this humble Steamed Mango pudding. Nothing fancy, no rare or expensive ingredients, hell, it doesn’t even need an oven. Apparently, there’s more you can do with mangoes, apart from a cheesecake and mango fool. (both recipes you’ll find on my Instagram by the way and are delicious anyway) […]
Fine, I admit it, I’m obsessed with baking cheesecakes. But why not? One master recipe that is so versatile that you may never need another dessert recipe. I’ll take it. This Baileys cheesecake was extra special as it doubled up as my birthday cake. Probably the best one ever. Variations with the Baileys Cheesecake Now […]
Oh yes!!! If I loved cheesecakes before, I am now in loveeee with this one. This gulab jamun cheesecake is out of this world. So good. I don’t think I’ve ever before missed a cake so much once it was over. My kids went crazy over this and are already asking me to make it […]
