Method
  1. To make the sweet berry sauce, place the berries and caster sugar in a small saucepan with 50ml of water. Bring the mixture to a steady simmer and cook until the berries are soft. Blitz with a hand-held blender or mash with a fork.
  2. In a large flat dish, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Spread the Nutella on each slice of brioche and then make two sandwiches.
  3. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat until it is foaming. Soak the brioche sandwiches in the eggs and milk and place straight in the pan to cook for 2–3 minutes on either side until golden.
  4. Remove from the pan and slice in two. Place on two warmed serving plates and drizzle with the berry sauce and dust over the icing sugar.

Nutella Cheesecake Bars

August 29

I am a Nutella fiend and I know I’m not the only one so if you are a fan of the chocolatey goodness from a jar, this is the recipe for you! These little bars have all the flavour and richness of a traditional cheesecake but are ready in half the time! Sliced up, they are perfect for cakes sales, bringing into the office to share or even just keeping all to yourself to gorge on!

Cookie Dough Brownies

February 12

There are those times in life when only ridiculously trashy food will do and that’s where these brownies come in. They have a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough followed by an Oreo centre and are finished off with a traditional brownie batter and a glossy chocolate glaze. Cue the food coma!

Chocolate Guinness Cake 

March 10

If you are a fan of decadent treats, this Chocolate Guinness Cake is the dessert for you! The dense and fudgy sponge has an intense malty flavour which comes from the addition of the stout and is topped with a creamy, white chocolate, cream cheese frosting which some say helps the finished cake resemble a pint of Guinness!
