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…

Make this easy meringue pavlova with a crisp shell and soft, marshmallow centre, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. A beautiful dessert for any occasion. Oh my word!

Christmas Trifle in a Jar
Whilst researching “trifles”, I came across many different versions, some had jelly some didn’t, some had alcohol some didn’t, some had boudoir biscuits, some had cake, some had cream and others had custard…and some had it all!! I came to the conclusion that anything goes really! I wanted to make a trifle that was pretty…
