Easy apple crumble
Apple pie, apple tart, apple pudding or crumble, call it what you want, it’s an all-round favourite. There is a treasure trove of apple pie recipes around the world, but I keep coming back to this delicious combination of everyday ingredients.
Oat & ricotta crumpets with chocolate sauce
The chocolate sauce is for days when you want to serve this as a dessert. Without the sauce, the crumpets are perfect for a Saturday morning breakfast, perhaps with a rasher of bacon, fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey.
Hot chocolate
Homemade hot chocolate is so easy to make and a healthier alternative to shop-bought powders or mixes. If you prepare your own, you can control what goes into each mug of deliciousness and choose better quality chocolate that is lower in sugar and other additives. Remember, dark chocolate gives a better, richer flavour than milk chocolate. If preferred, you can stir in a little honey for a sweeter taste.
Sjokolademousse met jogurt
Dié maklike Sjokolademousse word met jogurt in plaas van room gemaak, wat steeds ’n heerlike romerige tekstuur verleen, maar minder ryk is. Jy hoef ook nie met eierwitte te sukkel wat eers styfgeklits en ingevou moet word nie. Die groot geheim? Goeie gehalte sjokolade en kakao vir ’n smullekker donkersjokolade-smaak.
Lemon, thyme & poppy seed cupcakes
Lemon and poppy seeds are a well-known combination, and these cupcakes add a zesty flair to any tea table or picnic basket. The fresh thyme gives a lovely botanical flavour to the cupcakes, making them a little more sophisticated. The ratio of lemon juice to icing sugar adds just enough acidity to the recipe to balance out the sweetness and rounds the cakes off beautifully.
Ice cream & berry terrine
In summer, it’s always fabulous to have a dessert, but definitely not a warm one, even if it’s a baked version of some sort. I love to serve this frozen terrine, as it always looks so impressive. The combination of the vanilla cake, creamy ice cream, toasted macadamia nuts, berries and chocolate is popular with everyone.
Pink Lady® Apple tart
How can I best describe this apple tart? Caramelised apple wedges with honey, a touch of lemon, cranberries and a delicate combination of spices. But that’s not it yet – it all sits on an almond and butter layer, wrapped in a light and crisp butter pastry. Absolutely delicious. This Pink Lady® apple tart is one of the best I have ever made (and eaten). Yes, it’s a bit of extra work, but oh, so worth it.
Homemade lemon curd
In my house, lemon curd is an absolute favourite treat. There are so many ways we enjoy it – on a freshly baked scone, with fruit and berries as dessert or like in this recipe, on warm pancakes.
Dark chocolate truffles
Chocolate truffles are a decadent treat and always have a sense of luxuriousness about them. Although there are a few important things to know when working with chocolate, these truffles are not too difficult to make.
Homemade rusks
These rusks are so easy to make and high in fibre. The buttermilk gives it a lovely texture, without the need for eggs – so the recipe is indeed correct and not missing eggs.
