I love coffee-flavoured desserts – they feel like a natural way to conclude a meal somehow – a cup of coffee in dessert form. And, I’d happily end a meal with this Coffee Cheesecake any night of the week!

Brown Butter Ice Cream
Ice cream is one of those desserts that can either steal the show in its own right, or play second fiddle to the main event. This Brown Butter Ice Cream, with no apology, falls into the latter category.

Brown Butter Blondies
Well, you could have blown me over with a feather when I read that brownies and blondies were no recent invention. Nope, apparently they’ve been part of the American landscape since, believe it or not, the late 1800s.

Almond Bavarois with Roasted Rhubarb
Whoever invented this delightful satiny dessert known as Bavarois, or Bavarian Cream, really deserves a pat on the back. Not that we’re ever likely to find out who that is – they can’t even decide whether it originated in France, Bavaria, Switzerland or Germany. Who cares? All I know is how darned good it is!

Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

White Chocolate, Bailey’s & Orange Pots de Creme
By far the loveliest baked custard I’ve ever come across is a Pot de Creme – dig down beneath the surface, and it’s unbelievably smooth and silky, like liquid satin. I love them so much, I’ve made a bunch of them – a ridiculous amount of them actually… Butterscotch Pots de Creme, Espresso Pots de Creme, Dark Chocolate & Orange Pots de Creme, Maple Pots de Creme… even Egg Nog Pots de Creme.
