By the sum of its ingredients, you'd think that this would merely be frozen chocolate water... but the high quality chocolate yields an intensely flavoured, frozen mouthful of pure bliss. Best eaten in one or two scoop quantities only. MORE»

Devonshire Chocolate Sponge

(3 reviews) Posted by Kookaburra  

This unusual cake has been a big hit with our guests here at 'Avalon'. It's not a large cake but it's rich and moist and the topping/filling is bittersweet. A chocolate cake more suited to adult taste - although my 2 year old great-nephew ate it... MORE»

Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies

(31 reviews) Posted by Lennie  

These are, in a word, sublime. This is not a recipe to cut back on the quality of the ingredients; since you're going to be buying mascarpone cheese anyway (which isn't cheap), go for the gold and buy high-quality chocolate too. I like using the... MORE»

(3 reviews) Posted by WaterMelon  

A perfect dessert for an Oriental meal. Sometimes i just drink it as a snack. Very fragrant due to the coconut milk. I've even poured it into a popsicle mold and ended up with a sweet bean popsicle! Refreshing and low in fat (without the coconut,... MORE»

This is one of my favorite cookies during Chinese New Year. Very peanutty with a bit of crunch. You can also dust with confectioners sugar after baking (while cookies are still warm) instead of brushing with egg wash. Cook time is 15mins per... MORE»

Got this from a Chinese baking book. The cupcakes are ultra-tender, although this technique may require more elbow-grease. Update: You have to beat the egg mixture until THICK; it will leave 'ribbons' on the batter when the beaters are lifted.... MORE»
