I have this recipe from a book I received a couple of years ago. What I like in this little book, is that all the recipes are about chocolate! And even if I haven’t tried them all yet, as I am trying to pace myself and not go crazy over the chocolate, there are some … [Read more…]
Even if I try to keep it “healthy” to a minimum level, according to the name of my blog, I should have more recipes involving chocolate. This one for example, is one of my favourite, even though I really don’t do it often, or at least not as often as I would like, but that’s … [Read more…]
After the blossom water flavoured mini madeleines, here is the chocolaty version of those typical French little cakes. But I really can’t make up my mind between the two options, as I found them both delicious, in their own way! 🙂 Ingredients for 72 mini-madeleines: 100 g of flour 50 g of soft butter 90 … [Read more…]
I usually don’t go anywhere near brownies, too heavy, too dense, too much guilt, even for a chocolate lover. But this one is an exception as it is mixed with a cheesecake batter, which makes it (a little bit) lighter, and actually, more tasty than a plain brownie.

What I liked in this recipe is that there’s no egg in it, and the biscuits have a fun zebra effect. They are quite quick and easy to make, that if you don’t take into account the resting time in the fridge before baking them! Ingredients for 24 biscuits: 250 g of flour 175 g … [Read more…]

I have this recipe from a small chocolate themed recipe book that my friend offered me a couple of years ago. I hope you … [Read more…]
There are so many different versions of the chocolate mousse recipe that one can definitely not try them all. The differences lie mainly in the texture: either fluffy, or dense, or creamy, depending on the ingredients you use (cream, butter, sugar etc). I usually don’t like it very sweet as I think it kills the … [Read more…]
There are some combinations that are always a win. Most of them include fruits and of course chocolate. One of my favourite (not to mention the strawberry/chocolate one!) is the orange and chocolate, preferably dark chocolate (which tend to become my favourite those past few years). What do you think about this combination in this … [Read more…]
What I loved the most about those biscuits is that they reminded me of my grandmother’s. Not exactly the same taste, or filling, but the texture. Anyway, even if they are not exactly the same, I am sure she’d be proud of me, at least just for trying to bake them 😛 Ingredients for 20 … [Read more…]
A couple of days ago while I was shopping, I found those 3 cookie jars and it was love at first sight! My last attempt to bake cookies was years ago, and ended up in a complete catastrophe. But I needed an excuse to buy those boxes, they were so pretty! Excuse that I found … [Read more…]
