A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!

A POT OF DECADENCE ~ LUST!
OK OK, a little late for that famously Chocolated out day for lovers, but this is just a rework of an oldie on here, and it was for the Steam Oven a long time ago and in another galaxy! Named lust for obvious reasons, (which will become apparent once you have made and eaten this sinful confection!)...

THE FULL WILLY!

THE FULL WILLY!
Yes, The Full Willy! As in Willy’s Wonky Chocolate…its a long story, but after watching the amazing Willy on SBS and being totally charmed by the romance of it all, I happened to visit my sister and found that her husband had gone ahead and ordered some of Willy’s amazing chocolate...

PASS THE HONEY…HONEY!

PASS THE HONEY…HONEY!
Honey Pecan Ice Cream Well you may have noticed a few changes around here…not least of which is the stunning new site which is still getting altered bit by bit by my very helpful nephew Luke!

SPANISH, FLEMISH, YUMMISH FLAN.

PISTACHIO GREEN SCENE

PISTACHIO GREEN SCENE
Scoop the pistachio's I know I pretty well switch between a bread recipe and an ice-cream recipe lately, (as my hips can attest) but because I missed a whole month of our summer, I am feeling downright summery on this 35oC day (95oF)! That and the chance to play with my friends DeLonghi Ice Cream...

DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE

DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE
Just sounds delicious doesn’t it? It and it was…oh yes, it was! (Sorry to drool so publicly, but go ahead, lick the screen if you have to!) “Dulce de Leche” is Portuguese (Spanish) for ‘milk candy’ which is of course what you get when you cook some condensed milk...
