White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Slice
Another cheesecake this week! I personally favour baked (over chilled) cheesecakes in general, but this one is rather an exception. Simple, light, wonderful and refreshing, with a divine raspberry twist. Just perfect on a hot summer day. Continue reading

Пасха (Paskha)
Served once a year during Russian Orthodox Easter, Paskha is a traditional speciality made of cottage cheese, butter, sugar and sour cream, and molded into the form of a truncated pyramid. Enjoy a lighter cream cheese version of it, molded in individual mini-forms.
Традиционно Пасха делается в форме усеченной пирамиды из творога, масла, сахара и сметаны. Ввиду приближающегося Пасхального Воскресения, я предлагаю более “легкий” вариант (из мягкого крем-сыра и сметаны) в индивидуальном исполнении. Continue reading

Rich, flavourful, yet light and silky-tender with great berry-boost. Simply wonderful. Continue reading

Mango and five spice make a brilliant partnership here, and the flavours are zinged up by lime and mellowed by a brûléed topping. You can replace mangoes with peaches or nectarines if desired for another fabulous variation. Continue reading
Chocolate Raspberry Charlotte
This classic dessert is topped with a cloud of raspberry custard that contrasts beautifully with the rich dark chocolate layer.
I have to confess – I cheated a little. I first published this recipe earlier in the year, but not in a step-by-step format. I finally got around to revisit it, just in time for the raspberry season. Continue reading
