My friend and I decided to make a batch of cookies – but, alas, I’m not really one to eat sugar-loaded ‘Smarties’ cookies! While her beautifully multicoloured biscuits baked in the oven, I quickly mixed together my own dough with some chopped, Lindt 90% dark chocolate mixed through. This only…
Need a single-serving, delicious treat in under 5 minutes? Warm, chewy, gooey, and soft, this cookie is everything you could want when in need of comfort and solitary solace. Not that you couldn’t cook a double batch of these, but let’s be honest, why share? This recipe involves a square…
Torn between the worlds of dark, decadent chocolate and light, sweet cheesecake? Eat me! The cheesecake topping is vanilla-scented and creamy, while the brownie underneath provides a fudgy base. This brownie is full of satisfying fats from the cream cheese and butter, as well as protein from eggs and antioxidants…
Fluffy, doughy, spicy, and sweet, these cinnamon rolls make will make your life complete! Small as a mouthful, cute and petite, what better to make for a delicate treat? I have always loved cinnamon buns, but usually they’re pretty sugary. These, on the other hand, are mildly sweet and far more satisfying.…
I was looking through a Japanese-food cookbook the other day and found a recipe for ‘mochi’. While I had no glutinous rice flour on hand, I wanted to make a similar treat . . . These babies were born: soft, chocolatey, stuffed with a blob of peanut butter – and…

I love reading good food blogs, and chocolatecoveredkatie.com is one of my favourites. This recipe comes as inspiration from there – I have made a couple of adjustments to suit my culinary equipment! Instead of using an electric beater for my marshmallow ‘fluff’, I pulled out my trusty food processor.…
If you don’t like the taste of healthy desserts, you may want to give this one a pass. Not that it doesn’t taste good – I was quite in love – but the chickpea flavour is somewhat present. If you’ve kept on reading, be it due to intrigue or horror, let…
Being half-Filipina, I have tried a couple of snacks and sweets served in the Philippines. Palitaw (pronounced pa-leet-ow) are perhaps my favourite – barely sweet, sticky rice balls coated in coconut (or sugar and sesame seeds). The palitaw I’ve tried have been in flattened disks rather than balls, but I…
Do you ever find yourself craving those tiny, fluffy, cinnamon-coated doughnuts? Well, I’m not a huge fan of deep-fried foods (mostly due to the dangerous nature of trans fats and unstable seed oils normally used). However, these muffins are far more appealing. They’re pretty simple – vanilla cupcakes rolled in…
