Cheese Tower – Festive Season Elegance
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. I made this cheese tower, because so many people have asked me about cheese towers for special occassions, like weddings, 21st parties of just special birthday celebrations. I had all intentions do do this post earlier in […]

Posted on August 21, 2018 by nerinatimm in desserts
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. I think the addition of yogurt helps with the balance. I have to admit, I am a baked cheesecake kinda […]
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. […]
Lemon Mousse – deliciousy light
Posted on December 4, 2017 by nerinatimm in desserts
This Lemon Mousse reminded me of the classic Pineapple and Ideal Milk Fridge Tart that we all grew up with. Even as a child I could happily finish off the tart in one go. The Lemon Mousse Recipe seems complicated at first, but is is basically 3 steps. Just read through the recipe and you’ll […]
Christmas Baked Alaska – Summer Celebrations
Posted on November 24, 2017 by nerinatimm in baked goods
My Christmas Baked Alaska is perfect for a South African Christmas. A Summer Christmas with sun and sea and open skies. The Christmas Baked Alaska also has a surprise element, because no one knows what is on the inside, until you cut it. Kind of like a Christmas gift….. just edible! The part I like […]
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 […]

Saucy Orange Ginger Pudding – Can you even imagine how delicious it is? With or without custard, it is my new favorite winter dessert. My Saucy Orange Ginger Pudding happened by chance. I had a basket full of blood oranges that I had to use before I leave for Port Elizabeth tomorrow and I craved […]

Yogurt and Strawberry Wobbles!
Posted on September 15, 2014 by nerinatimm in desserts
Yogurt, eaten in tubs-full in my house at the moment! no, not low-far Bulgarian kind….. thick lusciously creamy Greek-style yogurt! Yogurt has practically taken over the dairy aisle! It’s getting more and more difficult to see the more traditional dairy foods, such as cottage cheese, buttermilk and sour cream, in the sea of yogurt options. […]
Banana Split with Milk Tart Ice-cream
Posted on July 30, 2014 by nerinatimm in desserts, rsg
Banana, believe it or not has never been my favorite fruit! Maybe it is because I was taught to believe that bananas are fattening! Banana has too much sugar and you must eat it when it is almost mushy to get the optimum nutritional value from it and so it goes on and on and […]
