“Magic Potion” Crème Brulèe

“Magic Potion” Crème Brulèe

This is the best crème brulee that I’ve ever tasted…and no, not because its my recipe! It truly is creamy, smooth and silky. I love the vanilla bean essence and cinnamony spice that adds so much flavour and depth to this perfect dessert.

“Winter Wonderland” – My Grandmother’s Delicious English Trifle

“Winter Wonderland” – My Grandmother’s Delicious English Trifle

I thought I’d share my favourite Christmas dessert recipe with you – my grandmother’s English Trifle. As part of our holiday season tradition, we always had many traditional desserts at our festive home. The Christmas Cake that my mother would painstakingly bake and cover in brown paper bags months in advance, the Mincemeat Tarts and then of course the Plum Pudding with Custard. But…my all time favourite was always…and still is, my mom’s delicious English Trifle following my grandmother’s family recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, this is a taste of Christmas comfort & joy to me.
