I know what you’re thinking… how can I possibly top last week’s Naked Black Forest Cake? The honest truth is – I don’t think I ever can. I’ve peaked, at age 30. Speaking of age 30, I’ve only got one day left before I turn 31. Tomorrow is my birthday, and to celebrate I’m bringing…
No Bake Recipes
Sometimes you just want to do some baking without, well, having to actually bake anything. These are the recipes for you! Usually involving some chilling, these aren't the quickest, but hey, at least you don't have to worry about burning anything.
Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake (No Bake)
It’s getting all romantic up in here guys – I dug out the never-before-used heart shaped baking tin for this no bake Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake and everything. Welcome to What Charlotte Baked does Valentine’s Day 2019. Valentine’s Day, Schmalentines Day To be honest, Valentine’s Day is something I think more about for blogging purposes than…
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
Christmas might be well and truly over for another year, but if you’re anything like me the you’ve still got a metric tonne of chocolate lying around the house. Every cupboard and spare surface is stocked with Matchmakers, Lindor balls, and selection boxes. But I’ve found a much better use for two of the Terry’s…
Raw Cookie Dough: 3 Festive Ways (Egg-Free)
Hi guys. I’m back! Yeah, I know, it’s been a while… just over four months in fact. I dropped my Ferrero Rocher Gelato recipe back at the end of August, and then ran for the hills. The truth is, this blog had become more of a chore than the fun hobby it started out as…
Mini Millionaire’s Cheesecakes
I’m writing this from on board the Sapphire Princess, somewhere just off the coast of Spain. We’re just over a week into out two-week cruise, and I’m taking an hour out of my very busy day of relaxing on the balcony to finally write the post I meant to publish before we even set foot…
Lucky Charms Cereal Milk Ice Cream
As we enter what seems like the 15th straight week of 30 degree heat in the UK (and before you moan about how that’s not very hot – we don’t have air conditioning here, alright?) I felt it was only proper to share with you my latest homemade ice cream recipe. And it’s a fun…
Cadbury Mini Egg Milkshakes
It was only last week that I shared my first ever milkshake recipe here on What Charlotte Baked, and it was so good that I’m back for a second bash at it. And as promised, I’m stepping up the Easter this week. Meet my Cadbury Mini Egg milkshakes: I’m going to come straight out…
Grasshopper Pie Milkshakes
I plan all my recipes waaay far ahead of time. I’ve got recipes penciled into my planner as far into the future as next January. Weirdly, planning what I’m going to bake is probably one of the most fun aspects of running a baking blog, second only to actually getting into the kitchen and whipping…
Maltesers Tiffin
As with all my bakes in the last few weeks, there’s a Florida-inspired story behind today’s recipe. We flew out to Orlando from London Gatwick, and got to experience the calming atmosphere of Virgin Holiday’s V-Room lounge before our flight. If you know me IRL at all, you’ll know that I absolutely hate flying. It’s…
Marshmallow Rice Krispies Mickey Mouse Pops
After our epic trip to Walt Disney World a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t help getting in the kitchen and putting the Mickey Mouse sandwich cutter I purchased at the unbelievably massive World of Disney store to good use! Because who doesn’t love Rice Krispies treats – and I bet you’ve never seen Rice…
Cherry Amaretto Fudge
February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d…
Toblerone Hot Chocolate
[AdSense-B] Today’s recipe is served with a side order of sadness. Cue X-Factor style sob-story music. Three Christmases ago something magical happened. I walked into my neighbourhood Starbucks, ready to get myself into the festive spirit and drink something seasonal from one of those gorgeous red cups, and noticed something magical on the menu –…
Candy Cane Chocolate Bark
[AdSense-B] It seems like every baking blog out there has their own recipe for candy cane chocolate bark. It’s pretty much a Christmas staple, and that’s because it: a) is easy to make b) is pretty as hell c) tastes gorgeous and d) makes a really great Christmas gift for anyone who likes chocolate (and…
Mulled Wine Chocolate Truffles
[AdSense-B] Update: I’ve had a bit of feedback from readers who can’t get their truffles to set. I’ve therefore amended the method for the recipe so that the mulled wine is reduced down before adding it to the ganache. I did get great results using the original method, but obviously there is something not quite…
Rocky Road Chocolate Bark (and How to Temper)
Guess what? In exactly three months’ time, it will be Christmas day! I’ve already started my shopping – I’ve got a whole advent calendar to put together for Katie after all – and I’m about ready to start on my Christmas baking. Mulled wine and a Terry’s chocolate orange in the Sainsbury’s order this weekend!…
Mars Bar Tart (No Bake)
I’m taking half an hour out of my bank holiday Sunday to share something I’m super proud of with you all. I’m even tempted to say that today’s recipe might be the best thing to ever come out of my kitchen. Because, whilst I love all the things that make it to this blog, I…
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
I’ve got something brand new (well to me, anyway) to share with you all today – my first foray into the world of overnight oats. Yep, although my first instinct was “nobody wants to eat cold porridge”, apparently a lot of people do! And now my wife’s one of them. So get on board the…
Maltesers Cheesecake (No Bake)
No bake cheesecakes are quickly becoming my favourite thing to make this summer. Not only do you not need to go anywhere near a hot oven (which is a godsend in our tiny apartment kitchen), but they are also really quick and easy to put together. The only time-consuming thing here is waiting for the…
Big Batch Cocktails for a Wedding
Summer is here (supposedly) and inevitably, that also means it’s Wedding Season™. We’ve recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and that got me thinking about some of the things we made for the wedding that I haven’t got around to sharing with you all yet. Last month I divulged my recipe for the first tier…
Clementine & Prosecco Jam
The inspiration for today’s recipe came from some bubble bath. I bet that’s not a phrase that’s often bandied about on baking blogs, but it’s 100% true. I loved the smell of my Clementine and Prosecco bath soak so much that I knew I needed to make some jam based on it. And so my…
Snickers Cheesecake (No Bake)
I’m currently on a one-woman mission to eat all the Snickers bars in a five-mile radius. I did manage to stop myself from eating just five of them, which is conveniently exactly the right amount you’re going to need to make this gorgeous no bake Snickers Cheesecake. I’m obsessed ??? Where do I even start with…
Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Box Cake
So, earlier in the week I let you in on how to make your own chocolate graham crackers. Because, if you live in the UK, you can’t get hold of a graham cracker for love nor money, especially not a chocolate one. And I promised you that I would be sharing with you a recipe…
Creamy Lemon Ice Pops
Possibly the easiest recipe in the whole world coming at you today. Only three ingredients – yogurt, lemons, and a little bit of runny honey. Mix them altogether, wait six hours, and you’ve got yourself some creamy lemon ice pops. So many confessions to make today. Firstly, those aren’t popsicle sticks. I used up the…
Ombré Summer Berry Ice Pops
Yep, it’s getting seriously summery around here. On Monday I gave you my Pimm’s Cupcakes, and today I’m turning up the summer sun to 11 with these gorgeous Ombré Summer Berry Ice Pops. They’re beautiful, easy to make, and are packed full of summer berries. So, what are you waiting for? One of my earliest…
