Strawberry Brule Cheesecake Squares

I crumbled 150g of Nice biscuits and 150g of Gingernut biscuits and mixed with 100g of melted unsalted butter and 200g melted vanilla white chocolate and pressed into a loose bottom tin with a fork and refridgerated for 30 minutes.

I preheated the oven to 150c, mixed 200g Philadelphia and 250g Mascapone with 2 large eggs, 150g caster sugar, 2 tsp's of vanilla paste, 1 tbsp. of lime juice and 1 tbsp of honey put into the prepared tin and baked for 18 minutes.

I pushed halved strawberries in as soon as I took it out of the oven and dusted the entire thing with icing sugar then used the blow torch to caramelise the sugar.

Everyone said they loved it, it was gone really quick and I have had requests to make it again already so I think it went down well!

Caramelised Banana & Snickers Mini Cupcakes

Making Cupcakes With Lola

I made the peanut butter cakes but for the topping I just whipped up Nutella, Biscoff and some butter and it was really really good (peanut, chocolate and caramel - all the snickers requirements)! I ran out of the frosting though (possibly because I kept tasting it to check it was ok?!) so used sliced snickers for the rest which looked good but didn't taste as good.

I made the banana cakes which were really easy, I added an extra banana as well for a bit more of a banana hit. I made the cream cheese frosting but put half in a separate bowl and added vanilla paste, cinnamon and yellow food colouring then put them both in a two colour piping bag which was much messier than I thought it would be! For more of a banana flavour, I caramelised sliced banana in sugar and butter (I used salted butter here) and used to decorate the cakes. The caramel really held the banana flavour.
