creme egg bakewell tart.

Easter is an exciting time for baking. So much awesome pancake, chocolate, hot cross bun and Easter baking inspiration. Not to mention delicious Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs hitting the shelves ready to be devoured. And that can only mean one thing... Creme Egg baking recipes! It's no secret the Bakewell is my all time favourite dessert, so here it is with an Easter twist! (Plus - a generous helping of Nutella!)

white chocolate and pistachio tart.

with a naughty white chocolate ganache filling and crunchy pistachio shortcrust pastry, this recipe combines my love of white chocolate, pistachios and the colour green. after the salted caramel chocolate tart i made, i thought i'd try out a different flavour tart base and filling combination. lovely for a sunday lunch dessert.

treacle tart.

aside from the classic bakewell, a treacle tart has to be up there as one of my favourite. years ago my dad used to take me  and my sisters to the crusting pipe in covent garden where they did (perhaps still do) the best treacle tart i've ever tasted. i hadn't actually put much thought into how to make one before now, though when i came across the james martin recipe on bbc good food i thought i'd give it a go. also, it's just the perspective that makes that dollop of cream look so massive... honest.
