Baking fails!
So I spend some weekends baking up a storm, and then forget to take photos to add to the blog. So when I go to publish recipes that I have either created or amended from their original (it’s not often I will not play with a recipe when I bake) I have no photo. So, because of this I have…

Mixed berry cheesecake
Summer in Australia can be brutal – and as we move towards the end of the seemingly constant stream of 30°C plus days, I felt the need to indulge in a light, cool dessert. Lo and behold, the mixed berry cheesecake. Yum! Ingredients 250g plain biscuits (I use Arnott’s Butternut Snap, so an ‘oaty’ biscuit is great) 100g butter 250g…

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake
One of my ‘go-to’ recipes is my cookies and cream cheesecake. It’s relatively simple and very delicious – a definite crowd pleaser. It is based on my white chocolate cheesecake recipe, but I make it as a larger slab type recipe for bigger groups. It has the potential to last up to a week in the refrigerator – but alas,…

Some of the variations include: Tim Tam dark chocolate caramel salted caramel, and cookies and cream. This version is Mint chocolate one. Essentially the recipe is…

Banana bread with cream cheese swirl
So, I know I warned you that I make a lot of cheesecake – and this (technically) isn’t cheesecake, but it might as well be. It’s the most delicious combination of cheesecake with banana bread (or cake – whatever you want to call it). Ingredients Banana bread/cake: 125g butter (melted) 1 cup plain flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 3/4…

White chocolate cheesecake
So this is what I use as my base (not baked) chocolate cheesecake recipe. It has a simple flavour and it is easily adjustable to make several variants, which I am sure you will see a few of in later blog posts. Ingredients Base: 250g plain chocolate cookies (I use Arnott’s chocolate ripple) 100g melted butter Cheesecake filling: 375g cream…

Baked Chai Cheesecake
So I have this policy at work where I tell my team mates that they can pick any type of cake they want for their birthday and I will make it. It’s never actually backfired yet, but there have been a few times where I think they just like to test me. Case in point – E asked me if…

Mini Baked Lemon Blueberry Cheesecakes
I love cheesecake. There’s likely going to be a lot of cheesecake recipes on here. I’m just preparing you now. I found a recipe online for lemon blueberry cheesecake, but when I made it, the whole thing just fell apart. It was a disaster. And that was the last time I actually followed a recipe instead of making my own.…
