Chocolate and Date Fridge Cake (18 pieces)

An easy no bake cake or dessert from Waitrose.

Chocolate, Rye and Hazelnut Brownies ( makes 9)

Rich and gooey chocolate treats from Diana Henry.

Chocolate and Almond Cake (8-10)

I visited a local Italian restaurant with friends last night and unfortunately the food was somewhat underwhelming . The best course was my dessert of Torta Caprese, but even then I felt there was room for improvement. This is a chocolatey, moist and dense cake from Rachel Roddy’s ” Two Kitchens”. You can eat as a cake or serve as a pudding with cold cream or ice cream as you prefer.

Rye Chocolate Brownies (12)

Rich, gooey and nutty Brownies from Claire Ptak’s “The Violet Bakery Cookbook”. These are at their best on the day of baking.

Chocolate and Almond Pudding (8-10)

A light and gluten free pudding from Emily Scott which is very good served warm from the oven and accompanied by Creme Anglaise. It’s best to buy whole almonds and blitz them yourself as you will get a better texture in the cake.

Whisky Chocolate Pots (2)

A small but perfectly formed dessert from Felicity Cloake. You can replace the whisky with dark rum, amaretto or any other drink that goes well with chocolate.

Chocolate Chip Cookies (makes 12)

A very good version from the New York Times.

Chocolate Cake with Marsala Cream (12)

A rich chocolate cake for Christmas from Diana Henry.

Chocolate Orange Mousse (6)

An easy dessert from ” Nigellissima” by Nigella Lawson.

Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake (8-12)

An easy recipe for Christmas or all year round from ” Nigellissima” by Nigella Lawson.

Budino di cioccolato (6)

I came across this Italian chocolate pudding on a recent trip to Italy when i was keen to try something other than Tiramasu for dessert. This is a simple version from Rachel Roddy but both versions I had benefited from the addition of Amaretto, either added to the pudding itself or as biscuit crumbs sprinkled on top. Or both….

Chocolate and Prune Brownies (15)

At a rather late stage in life i realised that one needs at least one good recipe for Brownies to hand and probably more. This is the recipe i would use for more special occasions and is from Delia Smith’s ” How to Cook: Book Two”. You can of course leave out the Armagnac for everyday eating.

Chocolate and Rosemary Cream (6)

A recipe from The Peat Inn which can be found in Sophie Grigson’s ” Sophie’s Table”. Sometimes you just have to forget about the calories.
