drunken mocha mousse tartlets

Drunken mocha mousse tartlets

The key element to this chocolate mousse tart recipe is the texture of the mousse. It needs to be light and fluffy; be careful not to press out too many of the air bubbles while folding the mixture to ensure the best results.
Epic triple chocolate layer cake

Epic triple chocolate layer cake

This monumental chocolate cake is Fiona Hugues' extreme solution to those times when you need an epic cake to either celebrate something audacious or silly, or to shed tears over as you commiserate with a loved one. Fiona has included every fantastic, wicked treat that she has at some time or other danced around with, or sat and wept with, and enveloped them in a Snickers-like cream and then drizzled in salted caramel sauce.

Strawberry desserts to get the party started

Fresh strawberry ice cream gâteau

Many strawberry farms around the country now offer fresh fruit ice creams at the farm gate. My kids shriek and demand a detour whenever they see a painted strawberry sign on a hot summer road trip. Please note: this recipe makes a two-tiered cake; to construct the four-tiered cake pictured here, double all the quantities (except for topping) and first make sure it will fit in the freezer.

I can still remember making this slice as a young girl. I’m sure I created a terrible mess in the kitchen but the reward was always worth it!
Fudge brownie chocolate cookies

Fudge brownie chocolate chunk cookies

These chewy fudgy cookies are a cross between a brownie and a biscuit. They are most delicious while still warm, or serve them cold and sandwiched with ice cream for dessert.
