These Piña Colada Panna Cotta Pots will be the most talked-about dessert on your menu. The Piña Colada Panna Cotta Pots are literally Summer in a little pot. Pineapple, coconut, cream and rum. It says it all, doesn’t it. The best part for me, is that they are so quick to make and a single […]

Oh yes, these Boozy Christmas Crackers are just perfect for a Christmas dessert table. Maybe even an after dinner sweet indulgence with your coffee.

Posted on December 10, 2018 by nerinatimm in cheese
A cheese tower or tower of cheese can NEVER be a bad thing, especially over the festive season.

Mini yogurt Cheesecakes with quick strawberry jam – O, oh my gosh, I could not stop eating. I stopped counting at 5……. These mini yogurt cheesecakes are delicious as a dessert, but not overly sweet.

Banana Caramel pudding – cheat’s version
Posted on February 11, 2018 by nerinatimm in desserts
Banana Caramel pudding – what is not to love about it? My Banana Caramel pudding had all the comforting notes of a trifle, but I can hardly call it that. It was rather spur-of-the moment thinking today. I have not made pudding for Sunday lunch in ages, and this morning I thought, IT IS TIME. […]

My Christmas Baked Alaska is perfect for a South African Christmas. A Summer Christmas with sun and sea and open skies.

Strawberry Sago Pudding – traditional with a twist.
Posted on August 15, 2017 by nerinatimm in desserts
My Strawberry Sago Pudding is going to raise eyebrows…….my dad’s eyebrows. He loves sago pudding, but not the jam thing, least of all strawberry jam. The Strawberry Sago Pudding is refreshingly different and it looks rather pretty, even if I have to say so myself. I have had so many requests for a sago pudding […]
