Malai Kulfi

Malai kulfi is a traditional Indian ice cream made the old fashioned way. It is a labour of love as you reduce full fat, sweetened milk to half, over a hot fire; cool it down and then pour it into moulds and freeze. There are no short cuts to a great taste, as my mum would say. This is her recipe and a tribute to her.

S'mores Fridge Cake

I have a slight obsession lately with S'mores. I have been working on some recipes for a client and one of the recipes was a S'mores cheesecake (I'll let you know when and where that recipe is available). Then this morning I was up early and felt the need to make something. First of all I was thinking a banana loaf but suddenly realised I didn't actually have any bananas. I did have a Kilner full of milk chocolate chips, one of dark chocolate cadets, one full of marshmallows and a biscuit jar of broken biscuits. And let's be honest anytime is a good time to weld the blowtorch even 7am on a Friday morning !

Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

When the chef Danielle Oron was growing up in the New Jersey suburbs, she knew that her Israeli family’s habits of dousing vanilla ice cream with tahini and spreading halvah on toast would be considered odd. Sesame has long been shunned in American desserts, but its addition to a confection can add a nutty, salty undertone, and sesame desserts are now popping up all over the place. These chocolate chip cookies, developed by Ms. Oron, are a great place to start for the home baker seeking more sesame. Rich, savory and sweet, they are one of the rare variations that are just as good as the original.

Everyday Banana Cookies

These grain free, sugar free cookies are called 'everyday' because they are so healthy they can become your everyday tea time snack. They stay super moist after baking but you will probably gobble them up too quick to worry about that.

Baked Halva

The last time I was in Istanbul, my friend took us to this amazing restaurant on the Asian side of the city. We ate mezzes and drank raki, and at the end of the meal we split a huge dish of baked halva. This is my very un-authentic yet delicious version of baked halva. It is also simply made vegan by using plant milk instead of the standard variety.

Chocolate Pavlova With Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Pavlova With Chocolate Mousse

Most Pavlovas are white and fluffy nests filled with whipped cream and fruit. This is a dark and fudgy reinterpretation, with cocoa powder in the meringue and bittersweet chocolate in the mousse on top. What was once billowing and light becomes rich and intense. Because the cocoa powder has a small amount of fat in it, the meringue here will not hold its shape as well as a regular pavlova. So there’s no need to pipe out any fancy designs, which will melt in the oven. Instead, decorate the top with fresh berries or chocolate shavings to create a showstopper of a dessert. You can make the meringue and mousse a day ahead, but don’t assemble the dessert until just before serving.

Caramelized Citrus

Caramelized Citrus

This is a modernized version of a dessert that was popular in Britain during the 1970s, a simple, stylish confection that was a standby of posh dinner parties: caramelized oranges. It was then and remains the sort of dish that is not particularly difficult to make, but still signals a home cook’s understanding of elegance. My recipe nods to, but is not of, that era. It calls for saffron, which infuses the sauce with its sweet-savory, haylike aroma, and for yogurt, which is a delicious partner to the fruit. On which subject, an important final note: Be careful to remove all the white pith beneath the skin of the citrus, as it is exceedingly bitter.

Alfajores  

Popular all over Latin America, dulce de leche confections called alfajores come in many varieties. In this popular version, delicate, crumbly butter cookies are sandwiched with a thick layer of dulce de leche before being rolled in coconut. They are petite yet decadent morsels that go particularly well with strong black coffee to cut their creamy richness. You can make the dulce de leche a week ahead (store it in the refrigerator) and the cookies 5 days ahead (store them in an airtight container at room temperature). Once sandwiched together, the cookies will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 days, but are best eaten within 24 hours of filling.

Almost Flourless Chocolate Cake

A 5-ingredient cake recipe that I received from my mom and have always loved this cake. It has the consistency of a mousse, but is really a cake. I think it is halfway between a soufflé and a cake. It has an airy texture and rich chocolate flavor without being too sweet…. so delicious! You could use a cup for cup flour to make this cake gluten-free.

Brown Sugar Marshmallows

Soft, pillowy clouds of happiness with just the slightest nuttiness from the dark brown sugar. Adapted from @kitchn (How To Make Fluffy Marshmallows)- Great space to learn new things! This is a very simplified take on marshmallows and takes a slightly casual approach to marshmallow making! This recipe is so customizable! Add spices and cocoa powder to the dusting mixture or replace the vanilla extract with a cheeky liqueur like Frangelico! If I can do it so can you! @freakinthekitchento

Chocolate Peppermint Bars

A little-known fact: Creamy chocolate-covered peppermint patties are not hard to make at home. Here, the minty filling and chocolate coating are layered onto a cocoa-imbued shortbread base, which adds a cookie crunch to each bite. These keep well, so you can make them a week ahead; store airtight at room temperature. They also freeze well. The coconut oil makes the chocolate coating slightly shinier and a little more brittle in a good way, so use it if you have it. But if you don't have it on hand, you can omit it.
