Cheesecake cheesecake cheesecake! Oh how I love thee.
Amazing Orange & Almond Cake
I love love love this Amazing Orange & Almond Cake. It’s fresh and zesty from the orange and super super moist.
Brown Sugar Blondies
Whenever I think about brown sugar my brain automatically starts singing the Rolling Stones…
Cherry & Ricotta Crumble Cake
This is an unusual cake that’s like a cross between a cheesecake and a tart with a crumbly topping thrown in. It’s soo good! Good enough to be the cake for both Finbar’s 1st birthday and my Irishman’s special days this year. If it’s not cherry season where you are, any other fruit will work well (see variations for ideas). IMPORTANT: Best to use smooth creamy ricotta from a tub rather than more crumbly ricotta from the deli.
Chocolate Walnut ‘Cake’
This cake actually began life as a tart I made for a dinner party a few months ago. Everyone loved it so much I made a mental note to figure out a way to enjoy it again for my birthday. And here we have it!
Chunky Pear Cupcakes
These ‘cupcakes’ started out life as a muffin. I was determined to have a coconut flour based muffin in this book because it won’t be long before I have a boy at school and will need to send nut-free treats. While I love these little goodies, my recipe tester thought the texture wasn’t muffin-like enough. She then went on to say they loved the flavour and her 10-month-old ate them all up. So I figured we needed a name change to manage expectations. These cupcakes are very moist and light which I adore but if you’re after a more traditional ‘cakey’ muffin best to try another recipe.
Coffee Granita
Ever since having diabetes and commiting to Low Carb, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make a really delicious Low Carb ice cream.
Creamy Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding 2-Ingredients
This recipe should come with a warning! Because it’s so incredibly quick and easy BUT (and here’s the dangerous part) luxuriously delicious. Yes this 2-Ingredient Creamy Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding is that good.
Creamy Not-Rice Pudding
Rice pudding has lots of nostalgia for me. It was the only thing my grandmother made that was actually edible. The thought of her rice pudding got me through many a horrifying family Sunday lunch.
Easy Little Ginger Puddings
These puddings are perfect for those nights when you haven't planned anything for dessert but then feel like something warm and comforting. You can mix them up in less time than it takes for your oven to preheat. And then you'll be tucking in around 20 minutes later - just enough time to make space after your main course.

Last-Minute Peanut Butter Mousse
You know those nights when you decide after dinner that you really need something else to eat? But you haven’t organized anything? Well, my friend, I’m going to share with you my favourite little last-minute indulgence. Mostly it’s something I whip up for myself, but occasionally I share it with company and grandly call it my Peanut Butter Mousse. But it’s also great as a post-run snack.
Little Lemon Delicious Puddings
Please don’t hate me for sharing this 3-ingredient recipe with you. Just lemon, almond butter and pecans.
Little Ricotta & Milk Chocolate Puddings
This Little Ricotta & Milk Chocolate Puddings is almost too simple to write a recipe for. But don’t let that sway you from trying it. I love how the ricotta and chocolate mix as you eat, so every mouthful is different, most cheesy and a little bit salty, others pure, chocolatey indulgence. If you’re a chocolate purist and can’t handle the thought of using anything but 70% cocoa chocolate, please go ahead.
No-Bake Chocolate Cherry ‘Cake'
This 'cake' is so so good. I made it for afternoon tea recently and Finbar (my 2-year-old) ate a whole slice before I realized what was happening. Of course he was then awake in the middle of the night from all the caffeine in the chocolate.

Paleo Brownies
If you’re wondering what the whole paleo / primal eating thing is about, you might enjoy this post I wrote about my introduction to paleo eating.
Peanut Butter Ice Blocks
‘Ice Blocks’ are what we literal-minded Aussies call icy poles or popsicles.
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Even though I'm not the hugest banana fan, I do love this healthier take on 'ice cream'. With the dates and banana this is quite carby so make sure you check out the low carb variation if you're watching your blood sugar. Feel free to play around with the flavourings or even pare it back to plain banana.
Raspberries & Cream with Quick Chocolate Sauce
This quick chocolate sauce is a life saver on those days where you haven’t planned dessert but then feel like a little ‘somethin’ somethin’ after dinner.
Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Dippers
OK so I know you don’t really need a recipe for this, but I thought I’d write it for you anyway .
Secret Chocolate Lunchbox Muffins
My boys are still very much a ‘work in progress’ with my project to turn them into vegetable lovers. I do love a challenge.
