Having only relatively recently discovered a love of cherries, Black Forest Gateau was not something on my radar. My enduring memory from having tasted it as a child was the overwhelming flavour of kirsch. That is not a good memory.
This is a nice seasonal recipe but really it can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Yes I am aware that this dessert does not contain either fruit or jelly but I am still calling it a trifle! It’s got layers of cake, booze, custard and cream. So in my book, it’s a trifle.
…..stuffed with Nutella! (I’ve now looked at the word ‘doughnut’ for too long and it looks completely wrong. I almost went with donuts!)
Baked cheesecake was one of the challenges recently on the Great British Bake Off. I usually stick with easier no-bake cheesecakes but decided to up my game and try one.
For some reason I thought I hated cherries. I’ve no idea what I tasted as a child that put me off them so much. Possibly those horrible glace cherries from the Christmas cake mix.
There’s nothing too original about a biscuit cake but sometimes there’s nothing better. I have made a few different recipes for biscuit cake over the years but this one got the best reception.
As it’s nearly the weekend I thought it would be nice to post an indulgent dessert recipe. My go-to cheesecake is usually this Bailey’s Cheesecake. This Malteser Cheesecake isn’t a million miles away, recipe wise.
