Decided to combine chocolate mousse and a cake to create an orange chocolate mousse cake.
I didn’t want the orange flavor to be too strong so it’s only in the base. The 2 other layers are pure chocolate.
Optional: You can change the recipe to include chocolate in all 3 layers; same with the orange zest, or even add a layer of orange jelly in the middle layer.
Cardamom and citrus are always an enjoyable combination with tea. So I combined these 2 flavors into a cardamom infused lemon curd cake.
It comes with a spongy texture along with a creamy one making it a great tasty contrast. The curd recipe is based on the one made for my sweet & sour lemon meringue pie.
Let me know if you know other interesting flavor(s) that could pair nicely with the lemon.
Butternut Squasherd’s Pie is not your usual shepherd’s pie. No beef and no potato but pork and butternut squash.
It tastes sweeter than a shepherd’s pie and has a more of a fall vibe, the kind of meal you could have around Halloween.
It was on a Friday night, I only had eggs in my fridge and felt like trying something new. Why not taking the egg and not preparing them in the same way, hence deconstructed eggs.
I went totally freestyle, combining bits and pieces I saw on videos or on TV. I ended up with very interesting mix of textures, there is lot of things I could improve on this recipe but the main ideas are there.
