Julia’s Surprisingly Simple Chocolate, Peanut + Caramel Tart
This might just be one of the most delicious and decadent desserts going around.
What’s not to love? With salted peanuts, rich caramel and a glossy dark chocolate ganache, it’s just like a Snickers bar, but better!
Julia’s Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake With Strawberries + Cream
This recipe is extra special. It’s gluten-free (which meant our designer Sarah could finally indulge whilst styling this shoot!), and honestly – you wouldn’t even know. It’s oh-so delectable.
With a hint of coconut in the sponge base, and lashings of whipped cream and strawberries, we know this will be a frequent treat in the TDF office.
Julia’s Classic Apple Tarte Tatin!
We’re big fans of classic desserts, and one of the best is apple tarte tatin.
This French dish combines all our favourite things; hot sticky caramel, flaky pastry, sweet apples and of course (because it’s French) plenty of butter.
Julia’s Sumptuous Chocolate + Raspberry Self-Saucing Pudding!
Chocolate and raspberry are a classic combination — and for good reason! Nothing works better against the rich, decadent flavour of cocoa, than a tart berry — add in cream or ice-cream, and you’ve found our happy place.
This is why were so very excited when Julia suggested sharing her simply delicious chocolate and raspberry self-saucing pudding – another classic dessert!
Julia’s Irresistible Baked Cheesecake With Figs
Cheesecake comes in many different varieties, but the baked kind holds a special space in our hearts (and stomachs!). When topped with in-season figs and a generous slathering of cream, we fail to see anything more irresistibly delectable.
Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s baked cheesecake with figs is rich, but not too sweet, on a biscuit base with the perfect hint of saltiness.
We’re pleased to say the entire TDF team have road tested this dish, and it was an undeniable, instant hit!
Lucy’s Crowd-Pleasing Berry Pavlova!
Lucy’s berry pavlova is a staple at her Christmas table every year (plus, it’s a favourite among the TDF team). It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and honestly, it’s fail-safe. You simply cannot go wrong with this delicious, easy recipe.
Messy, crunchy, gooey and served with lashings of velvety cream, raspberry coulis and fresh berries, this truly is the ultimate summer dessert.
