The pictured cookies are - at a stretch - in fact Christmas Chocolate Chunk Cookies as I used Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Wonderland Edition to make them and popped one of the trees from it into the top of each cookie. Had I intended to make Xmas cooki

This recipe allows you to make homemade Orange Ice cream without needing an ice-cream machine. The measures given make quite a lot, but align with common container sizes for the ingredients - you can put some into the orange skins for presentation an

Americans like their pancakes more... cakey... than we do traditionally, but to be fair they taste pretty awesome when covered in syrup or honey. Although traditionally served at breakfast, they make a good dessert too. They're quick and easy to make

Also known as chocolate crunch and pink custard, this was a favourite dessert/afters when I was at school. It's quick and easy to make, and tastes awesome

Soft cakey outside, with gooey chocolate in the middle The temperature of your oven will affect how firmness or softness these puddings come out. If the first pudding turned out of it's tin is too soft, then cook the remaining puddings for another co

Incredibly tasty, if a little indulgent Cookie and Ice-Cream sandwiches

Quick and easy if you buy the brownies ready made, but it's much, much more rewarding if you make them yourself!

A lot less involved than a lot of the cheesecakes I make, but quick, easy and tasty! Works best if you pick the creamiest yoghurt you can find

Works well whether you mull your own wine or buy pre-bottled. Generally tastes better if you do it yourself though! Either way, it goes really well with mince pies

Obviously perfect with Christmas pudding, but goes really well with chocolate cake too!

Everyone loves fudge, but despite being really easy to make, we all seem to buy it. You can add flavourings other than vanilla if you want but may need to adjust the measurements to ensure it'll set - Southern Comfort fudge is gorgeous...

Keep the Mars bar in the fridge for at least 4 hours before cooking, otherwise the batter doesn't stick properly and cleaning melted mars bar out of a deep-fat fryer is not fun! The variations on this recipe are endless, I've successfully managed th
