Strawberry Trifle

Mizmoe — Tue, 07 May 2013 09:27:33 +0000

This really is a trifle for that special occasion as it is ‘made from scratch’ and involves many steps, a recipe for the strawberry crisps, strawberry jelly and Pavesini biscuits is at the end the post. Alternately, you could simply purchase a sponge cake, Swiss Roll or Lady Fingers, a pack of strawberry jelly crystals [...]

Molten Chocolate Puddings

Mizmoe — Fri, 03 May 2013 09:09:49 +0000

I love this type of pudding, not only because of the luscious centre … the real reason if they take such a short time to make and bake. Prepare 4 x 175 ml individual pudding basins or ramekins. 100 grams dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids – evenly chopped OR 50 grams dark chocolate and 50 grams [...]

Baked Cheesecake with Raspberries

Mizmoe — Wed, 01 May 2013 16:07:34 +0000

This is a lovely simple baked cheesecake recipe which can easily be changed to suit your personal tastes. While my favourite version is made with wild bilberries, it tastes really good when these berries are used along with fresh raspberries. I like just a subtle hint of citrus in cheesecakes which include berries, in this [...]

Black Cherry Sauce

Mizmoe — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:10:52 +0000

This is a lovely sauce to serve with cheesecake, ice cream (especially vanilla) or rice pudding. If using fresh black cherries, remember to remove the pits before making the sauce. 450 grams frozen pitted black cherries (or tart cherries, if preferred) 100 grams unrefined caster sugar 120 ml cold water 1 tbsp cornflour – sifted [...]

Goats’ Milk Rice Pudding with Bilberry or Blueberry Compote

Mizmoe — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:04:19 +0000

This is a lovely creamy rice pudding which goes well with a high fruit strawberry or raspberry jam or a compote made with fresh blueberries. For added taste and a 5 cm piece of orange rind when warming the milk (without any white pith). Alternately, try a black cherry sauce. 90 grams short grain pudding [...]

Meringue Roulade with Blueberry and Lavender Cream Filling

Mizmoe — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:15:18 +0000

I love the combination of bilberry/blueberry, lavender and fresh lemon. My preference is to make this lovely roulade using lavender sugar, and wild bilberries rather than blueberries as the flavour is more intense, or richer. The roulade is made with a soft meringue using only 25 grams of caster sugar per egg white, the filling [...]

Bakewell Tart

Mizmoe — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:18:38 +0000

I love Bakewell tart, particularly the traditional ones bought in the village of Bakewell in Derbyshire. While this recipe does state raspberry jam, my preference is for high fruit apricot jam, preferably home made. Serve as is, or with chilled double cream lightly whipped or hot fresh vanilla custard. 225 grams rough puff pastry 4 [...]

Lemon Souffle Cheesecake with Wild Bilberry Topping

Mizmoe — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 21:28:03 +0000

I love the combination of lemon and bilberry, especially when these two flavours are in a wonderful cheesecake with a lemon flavoured shortbread crust. The shortbread crust is made with the traditional three parts flour, two parts unsalted butter and one part caster sugar. Wild bilberries are my preferred fruit for this recipe, but you [...]

Baked Chocolate Philadelphia Cheesecake

Mizmoe — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:30:33 +0000

A simple but tasty milk chocolate cheesecake using Chocolate Philadelphia; this recipe is not complicated but well worth the effort. This cheesecake is more suited to the person who loves milk chocolate rather than the flavour of a dark chocolate. 120 grams digestive biscuit crumbs 30 grams dark chocolate – finely grated 50 grams unsalted [...]
