Almond Pastries
Recipe by:
FrancesC
These flaky Danish pastries are a time-consuming project, but they're a perfect way to show people how much you love them! I like serving them at special brunches. The puff pastry and almond filling can be made ahead of time, and the pastries can be frozen before baking.

Chocolate Tablet (Scottish Fudge)

This is pure heaven - well I think so anyway! It's sweet, melts in your mouth but is not chewy. This version is flavoured with chocolate and it makes a great gift. I always make some for my daughter's teachers at Christmas.
Chocolate Mocha Peanut Butter Marble Cake
Recipe by:
Michelle Chen
This is a very moist cake that looks and tastes delicious too! It has just the right amount of sugar needed. The glaze makes the cake shiny and keeps its flavour sealed for many days. But you will soon find out that it's not necessary as your familiy will finish it in no time! I like to use a classic bundt pan as it makes the cake look great! You can buy them in any specialty cook shop. Try and have all your ingredients at room temp too.

D Hatzizacharia

No-bake Chocolate Cheesecake
Recipe by:
SUGAR.PLUM.FAIRY
This recipe was passed down to me from my mum. It produces a rich, chocolaty cheesecake perfect for all cheesecake and chocolate lovers alike! Taste a little to ensure that the right amount of chocolate-ness has been reached. If you like cheesecakes a little more chocolaty then you may need to add a little more cocoa powder/water mix to taste.
Boozy Smooth Ice Cream
Recipe by:
SARAHEMM
An incredibly easy way to round off a dinner party - but only if they aren't driving! I like to serve two small scoops in tiny dishes with shortbread, biscotti or amaretti. You can vary this any way you like - try Cointreau or Drambuie (my favourite), or add a few drops of real vanilla extract or some of the vanilla seeds.
