Whilst this period of lockdowns seems never ending, it’s hard to believe a year has gone by and it’s Easter again! At least this year, depending where you are in the country, we are allowed a bit more freedom, even if it is just meeting up with family and friends who we haven’t seen in…

Caledonian Cream
A lesser known Scottish dessert is the Caledonian Cream, a tasty mix of cream cheese, cream and marmalade on a bed of boozy oranges. Cream and booze, really whats not to like? This is tasty alternative to Cranachan, the more common Scottish dessert. Marmalade would seem to be a weird choice to mix in a…
Mary Berry’s Spiced Ginger Pudding with Toffee Sauce
I love ginger, in any form and definitely in biscuit or cake form! It’s also no secret I am a bit of Mary Berry fan, so when it comes to cake and pudding it is usually her books I reach for. One of her recipes I enjoy is this spiced ginger pudding with a rich…
Salted Caramel Laphroaig Ice Cream

I spotted this Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake on Pinterest and I thought since it was no-bake I’d give…
Dessert Day
I ate dessert twice yesterday. Is that wrong? First dessert was a Pavlova which I had with Dad for Afternoon Tea at Hillmount Garden Centre. Pavlova in a Belfast Stylie – deep with more than your 5-a-day on top! Next up was Waffles, with chocolate and marshmallows, at Cafe Maud’s on the Lisburn Road, which…
