Blueberry and Vanilla Cheesecake (Gluten Free)
I love cheesecake, but I don’t make it often as my love of cheesecake makes it very hard to resist going back for “just a bit more” and then suddenly there is only half a cheesecake left and I am feeling a bit sick. So it had been a long time since I last made…
Chocolate Cheesecake
Chocolate Cheesecake GF Yields 1 cheesecake This very rich chocolate cheesecake is topped with caramel nuts. If you need it to be nut-free, try topping with freeze-dried fruit or even a dusting of extra cocoa powder. This is a very milk chocolate flavour – if you prefer darker chocolate, feel free to substitute some or…
Chocolate Mousse
I never thought I’d say this, but I have well and truly had enough chocolate (until an Easter egg is presented to me next weekend). I’ve previously mentioned that I help with a pensioners’ lunch club at church, and the dessert for the last one was a chocolate mousse. However … many chocolate mousse recipes…
Chocolate Truffles
GF Chocolate truffles are very easy to make and very hard to stop eating! My recipe is just chocolate ganache chilled until it is solid enough to roll.

You will need: 1/2 cup orange juice 9-11 dessertspoons of white sugar (less sugar for more tart yoghurt,…
Quick Chocolate Pudding
I’ve seen cornflour-based puddings in many places – cookery books, blogs, in add-milk only packets on supermarket shelves – but it was only a couple of weeks ago that I decided to try my hand at making one, on a day when I felt like chocolate but wanted something that didn’t feel too naughty. This…
Self-Saucing Chocolate Pudding (Gluten Free, Vegan/Dairy Free Option)
I have no American ancestry that I am aware of, but my favourite cookbook growing up was an old American “Fannie Farmer Cookbook” that my Mum had been given as a wedding present. Just about everything we baked came from that book of easy recipes (which probably also explains my preference for cups, as opposed…
Strawberry and White Chocolate Cheesecake
GF NF Makes 1 large cheesecake with a 23 cm diameter (about 15 – 20 servings) When I make a dessert, I usually find myself faced with a choice of whether to go chocolate-flavoured or fruit-focused. This cheesecake has the advantage of eliminating that choice by combining chocolate and fruit and then adding some extra…
