I tasted this at our dinner club the other night and my oh my it was a conversation-silencer…until we all interjected with questions of how it was made! “Is that it, just yoghurt, condensed milk and a biscuit base? Seriously?” was the prominent question. Said with an incredulous expression of course. So yes, it really…
Sweet Treats
Strawberry and Banana Custard
Okay before you read the recipe, read this: Don’t be put off by the number of eggs. I’m not a huge fan of eggs but in this dessert you cannot even taste the eggs (well that’s what I thought anyway and usually I can always taste the eggs!). One of the best desserts I have…
Nutella Banana Bread
Take Nutella and Banana Bread Batter, mix them together and voila! You get heaven in a loaf. When I made this, my kids and hubby polished it off within 48 hours. Actually, no, it was less than that! And then my hubby insisted I not make it again, for it was far too wickedly delicious….
Key Lime Cake

Oreo Layer Dessert
I’m warning you this is a rich pudding my beautifuls! You only need a little…right!!! You could actually make this dessert in little shot glasses or Martini glasses, probably just the right amount for its richness. The Oreo biscuit base really makes this pudding…you have the smoothness of the cream cheese layer and the instant…
Chocolate Croissant Bread and Butter Pudding
Okay so it seems this is the new modern take on bread and butter pudding – Chocolate croissants used instead of bread! It’s yummy and chocolatey and super easy to make. It does take a lot of eggs but if you would rather have less egg, then just use extra cream or milk instead. So…
Nutella Buttercream Icing
You’ll have to put the diet aside for this one guys. Just for one day. It’s fluffy, it’s light and best of all it tastes like Nutella..which is a chocolate-hazelnut spread for the uninitiated! This recipe is just for the icing (frosting). I cheated and used Moirs’ Cake Mix for the cupcakes but if you…
Brownie Pudding
I made this for my dinner club the other night and it went down a treat. This particular recipe is taken from Barefoot Contessa which I came across through Pinterest….it’s been pinned and baked by many a Pinterest-a-holic and is wildly popular…for good reason! You just gotta get those mitts on and try it my…
Homemade Nutella
If you’re like me and have to restrain yourself from picking up a jar of Nutella every time you do a grocery shop, you’ll love this recipe. You’ll have a love-hate relationship with it really. Yes, it’s wicked. Best of all this recipe is ridiculously easy! Just as a note – I used my KitchenAid…
Meringue Pavlova
Oh my word! My mother gave me this recipe and who knows why she kept it from me this long. It’s quick to prepare and super easy (of course!!). Best of all the meringue comes out crunchy on the outside and nice and chewy and light on the inside. Serve with strawberries or Kiwi or…
