Espresso Chocolate Chip Cupcakes … Espress-o-love for Mother’s Day!!
These muffins are great for a coffee loving Mum! Nothing like a deep, delicious espresso cupcake to make the day complete. Dark chocolate pairs beautifully with coffee, and IMHO, a creme chantilly topping might compliment these cupcakes nicely too.

Delicious Old Fashioned Eggless Chocolate Cake with Balsamic Strawberry & Cream Filling
We loved this cake! It's special because it is a layered cake, EGGLESS, no butter and still deeply decadent and 'chocolaty' moist! I filled it with a balsamic strawberry and cream filling, and slathered it with a deep decadent chocolate ganache using a 65% dark chocolate - divine!

No Bake Dessert| Creme au chocolat shots … fudgy, indulgent, deep chocolate creme
This is my fast track version of Crème au chocolat which translates simply into my idea of an indulgent chocolate cream! The basic recipe is quite versatile, and can be easily doubled too. I like it because it can be made in advance. Also, desserts in glasses always appeal to me. They make a bold, crisp statement, and allow for contrasting pairing that you can show off. Serve it with either fresh seasonal fruit and herbs, with amaretti cookies, or paired with vanilla bean macarons. Then again, spike it with your favourite cherry liquor and serve with juicy bing cherries, or give it an espresso kick … the possibilities are…

Mousse-a-cotta with Macs in the Air!
A deliicous experiment later, mousse-a-cotta or panna-mousse is what found its way back into these goblets. It found its way into the dwarfs tummies at express speed too! They loved the second fast track attempt, one that I added a dash of espresso to as well. Served them with sesame macarons!
